got 2 boundaries too tbfAh, the classic "come out after lunch, spend 10 minutes in the middle adjusting your kit then declare" gambit.

they should lay the platform and make their minds up during the tea breakTimed that declaration well imo. England won't bother going for this.
This will be the idea. But the top three's natural rate of scoring is so slow that in practice it just means going for a draw.they should lay the platform and make their minds up during the tea break
This is most probably going to be a draw, India should have let Shami and Bumrah bat as long as they wanted, just to hurt the confidence of the English bowlers.India should've declared half an hour ago. England aren't getting half of this. Man England are a poor side atm.
ah yes, this should be fun. you might have redeeming qualities yet.Anderson the ****tiest bowler with over 400 wickets, with Broad running him close at 2. So stupidely conditions dependent.
Yeah, if they are to win it they have to go at it from the beginning. That tactic won't work on this score. They are never going to get it anyway without a couple of Stokes'.This will be the idea.

You are allowed to venture out of your hobbiton that is the NZ cricket thread? Regardless, happy to learn I am still living rent free in your head.ah yes, this should be fun. you might have redeeming qualities yet.
Are you a bot?Kohli has taken unnecessary time out the game not declaring at lunch, cost India 4 overs to bowl England (and Wales) out with. England (and Wales) weren't ever going to go for it considering runs required and the asking rate.
England (and Wales) need to build a solid platform now with the top 3 and play this out calmly. The pitch is still good for batting. India have a very strong bowling line up, but only ~60 overs to bat.
