Wouldn't be surprised if we see the highest scoring day of the match tomorrow as once the lead is over 200 and India give up knowing the series is lost the runs will flow. been a cracking partnership by Trott and Bell and has almost certainly won the series unless we have a remarkable day tomorrow which seems unlikely.

Some of the hissy fits from the Indians in the last session have been funny, least it shows they care though which looked unclear in the last two tests.

Also all the people who said this pitch was too up and down and bowlers would love to bowl on this, don't judge a pitch in the first hour!

Disgraceful pitch yes. Result pitch, or bowler friendly pitch, hell no!

Well to be honest you don't expect a pitch in India not to break up at all in 5 days.

Top partnership that.

4 wickets yesterday, 4 wickets today. For all the talk about batting last in India it's been an age since the idea has really been tested.

Indeed. I was sure there was variable bounce but it all disappeared.

And ftr all I said was that I'd like a bowl on this pitch. Really that's just an overestimation of my own ability

It would have been interesting to see you bowl on this pitch actually. You tend to go for lots of runs regardless of the situation but take wickets in bursts, so you could've been really useful in progressing the match on a pitch where the opposite of what you do has happened the whole time.

You certainly would've offered more than your favourite player did in this game anyway; should've been selected. I blame Callum.

I've said that this pitch will become a minefield, but thats starting to look wrong. Pretty shocked at how samey this pitch has behaved since the first session.

It is probably the worst possible pitch for cricket.

Anyway, almost there now, would be reallly good to see these 2 go on tomorow.

Just one ball every five overs or so misbehaves. Could play on this for another three days and nothing would happen by the look of it. Dreadful viewing but as far as England are concerned they are laughing as no result was ever likely on here.
