Curran must feel weak not getting 2nd change use of new ball, and this robinson guy getting it. I think you really should give curran the chance in that situation.

Great finish by India. Definitely in the drivers seat! Hopefully they can carry on tomorrow without making things too exciting.

Are you joking about drivers seat? Our record chasing in England is not glowing.

I think this is 50/50 at best. Just got to hope that somehow it doesn't swing despite the forecasts for plenty of precipitation in the air. One thing I hope is that they don't lay down and die - positivity is the key. 3 runs an over.

Nah. At this point, they are the favorites. It's not a cakewalk, and lots of things can go wrong but it would be a disappointment if they don't win this.

A disappointment with which we're all too familiar. England are exceptional in the fourth innings at home - chasing and defending. Will need one of the out-of-form 3-5 to really stand up. And by stand up I don't mean a 40-and-out but a proper counter-attacking hundred, Root style.

Wonderful! Just what we need, another awkward 4th innings chase, that too outside of Indian conditions…:(

Yeah and most of our top and middle order suck horribly right now…England has to feel good about their chances tomorrow…

I'd normally support India to win this, but I'd like NZ to extend lead as world no 1 and can't see England as a threat for next WTC so hope the English win.

That’s a great hundred by Joe Root given the state of the game and the abject spuds batting around him. Kudos.

There were a lot of offensive dismissals, but Buttler's was the worst by far. You're telling me you go to the effort to bat on off stump like a total meme, and you still don't know where your off stump is?

Congratulations also to Jonny Bairstow on not being bowled. Mad progress.
