Rohit's field is making it too easy for foakes to milk a single on the fourth or fifth ball. The scoring rate may be slow but it's lulling rohit into a false sense of security here.

Sensible batting from Foakes. No rush just farm the strike and wait for the odd bad ball. Tire the spinners out.

Bashir is doing a good job hanging in there with Foakes but the problem is that Foakes isn't scoring many runs either.

At least they have stopped India taking wickets.

Tailenders have managed to hang in there just fine on the deck. Scoring rate doesn't matter if foakes can eke out another 50 odd somehow even if it's at a snails pace.

Someone needs to tell Rohit to bring the field in on the fourth ball. A foakes single on the fourth ball has happened seemingly every over and he's not being made to work for it enough.

Not a bad thing to get more time and wear into the pitch I guess? That said it didnt do anything in the morning session today.

Few keeping low but pretty easy to bat on.

Will be easy for India if they are patient. But also expect Jaiswal and Rohit to get 50 pretty quickly.

The longer they bat , the more the pitch will wear out for India when they bat last , time isn't an issue..
Batting time helps but scoring some runs would probably help more.

A tough situation for Foakes though, with only 2 wickets left he can't afford to take many risks.
