***Official*** India in England

Ton for KP. Quality knock in the circumstances; certainly not in his usual idiom.

Pietersen too good for England? Discuss.... :ph34r:

Dodgy drive for 4 by Bell, one more wicket here exposes the tail... England need to go defensive and eliminate every risky shot from their batting.

India really don't deserve to win, after their pathetic and gutless decision to not enforce the follow-on. Absolutely shocking.

Don't really understand quite what England are doing. They aren't going for the win, so why play all these shots?
Just to make the series as close as possible I suppose. It may not matter to others but the players will take pride in it.

Edit

Although Prior is doing the exact opposite. I wish they'd either got for it in vain (it would at least be some sort of excitement) or just both bat like they want to save the match. Their current approach makes Bell look careless and a Prior a useless dabbler from whatever perspective.

What will happen to their pride if they lose the last five wickets in seven overs? Surely it will have more pride if they both end with a * next to their name.
