Stokes did nothing really. Rashid on I think. Might give Broad/Woakes a few from this end as don't see Ansari doing anything

Really disappointed by this 4th day. England batted too long at the rate they were going and consumed 75 overs in their second innings.

All the while India never even looked bothered in trying to win the match. They have blocked and scrapped their way through 30 odd overs.

However there is a positive and that is England have had the better of India throughout the test. Hopefully it demolishes the demons from Dhaka.

I think it's just clever from Ashwin. There's no real way for the umpire to tell for sure if he's just playing down completely the wrong line, even though he almost certainly knows what he's doing. Those are never going to be given.

Well this was a great effort at least. Although now it's given me a small measure of actual hope for the series which will inevitably come back to bite me.

Yeah sort of reminds me of that first Test in UAE, this was a better performance than that though, so many good things to come out of it.

Please bring Rashid back on

Is it worth giving Broad/Woakes another over to see if anything happens? Or just stick with spin to squeeze in as many overs as possible?

Yeah, even if he gets a wicket this over I'd take him off. Just bowling too many pressure-release balls
