No. Give them nothing. Not til after tea if Smith is still batting. Look for 550+
They made 143 in first session so they should have 600 by tea if Smith still batting

Whatever it takes!!!
haha usual suspects like salty showing up to match threads once India are playing bad. 
Anyways, glad I slept through for a lot of this session. 310/6 starting the second day after losing the toss is a pretty reasonable and almost even position but once again, shockingly inept captaincy and tactics have meant we are now playing catch up all day and probably all game. I dont think our bowing attack is too flash but our last series here showed what even a limited attack can do with proper planning, leadership and tactics. We are not gonna make this score even over two innings, I am afraid.

Yeah agreed. Still plenty of time in this test. And frankly you grind out more overs from Bumrah leaves him less in the tank.

Na I think he'll be fired up.
150 for Viru among the howls of the Bay 13 bogans.

Indian team would be so good without Rohit. Hopefully he retires or is thrown out after this match itself. Idiotic captain.

Just goes to show that if you're an ATG like Smith it's always possible to dig your way out of a hole no matter how big it appears.

Rahane is not exactly a leader who would energize the side like Kohli and Shastri. Is he tactically the best captain? Absolutely.haha usual suspects like salty showing up to match threads once India are playing bad.

Especially if the opposition captain helpfully gives you a rope to help pull yourself up

Nah.. he was found wanting against NZ too at home. I think we have al underrated what Shastri brought as a coach. His strategies (not always perfect) and the energy that him and Kohli had together definitely sparked something in our side that we have not seen since.
