If they declared India would have a right go of it and probably win.

Giving India 3 and a bit sessions to chase 280 on a pitch that's been pretty good to bat on after the 35th over bar some inconsistent bounce would have been suicidal.

No one declares with such a small lead and over a day to go on a pitch like this.

I think you guys are way overrating this lineup.

Lyon really dished up a lot of short, wide deliveries that session. Apart from one good over to Pant didn't really threaten at all.

Whatever it takes!!!
It kinda tells more about you than me that you think its a joke mate. I said it before because I thought it kinda added up at least in my head and then I posted that it was still baseless speculation on my part, so wont bring it up. But jeez, there is more to life than just seeming cool and raking likes on an internet forum.

Oh it’s massive. If india lose this series, that is one of the key moments for sure.

The forecast is the clearest it's been for years. But the pitch is likely to be very similar to this one, if not slower.

Yeah this. Is it just me or has cricket gotten more defensive in the past few years.
A few years ago, the likes of Shane Warne would be criticising a late declaration like this, in commentary. Rightfully so, I think. A more confident team really should've dangled the carrot. Both teams lack confidence

Well, at least Yashasvi's trying to make amends. Can't say as much about the two other clowns who were seen having a go at him.

Yeah for sure, and with the bowling vs batting balance, there’s certainly every chance for a result. But if it’s like it usually is, a few guys may be able to make big scores.

No this is silly and just a matter of self righteousness. No one declares with such a gettable target. The longer time for a lower target would actually mean the batsmen would have to take fewer risks to score than a higher target.

If India don't go for this with Head bowling and then end up losing the series it will be kind of hilarious
