and how many do you reckon England could get on this wicket? 100?

I think you'd take a lead of 100 with India batting last on this pitch, but I'd be happier with 130.

One thing for sure, it won't be a draw.

Ashwin is looking dangerous here. Need to get him off strike at the very least.

[den]

That’s the best way to get him off strike. 😀

4 for Root.

Root 4/5

India lost 6 wickets today for 35 runs.

[Gav]

31 runs ahead here India, thats a handy lead at this stage, need to get the last wicket now.

[Gav]

5wkts Joe Root - Just brilliant from Englands captain.

India lead by 33.

[47er]

2 innings completed in 4 sessions, a part-timer has 5 for 8. I know home sides come up with wickets that put them at an advantage but this goes beyond the norm. But the out-field looks nice and lush!

A test is supposed to last 5 days!

[den]

Bloody hell.

[Gav]

Not the best start......🤞

[den]

Bloody bloody hell

[47er]

Can't blame the pitch for that one, Crawley played down the wrong line. 

And there goes another one! 0-2.

Saved on appeal! Terrible shot from Bairstow.

And he's out the next bowl! You couldn't make it up.

Wow

[den]

Absolutely astonishing

[Gav]

Oh my goodness, what is happening.

Test match cricket boring? I'm having none of it!

Hes a bloody opener. Awful defence to a straight ball.

[47er]

Shameful by Bairstow. Back to 20-20 for him.

Will India have to bat again?

Never seen anything like this.

Amazingly only 10000 in. I would love to watch a game where its full---130000.

The noise would be incredible!

 

[den]

Got to take the game to them here. Not rash, but positive.

[Gav]

The commentator just made a great point.

Its not the pitch thats getting these players out, its the mind.

[den]

180 minimum needed I reckon. 

[den]

Phew

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Crazy shot from Sibley. He just needed to stay in and frustrate the bowlers.

[Kie_BRFC]

Christ that was a tight call - needed that

[grinder]

no idea what this is but its not test cricket - going to be over in 2 days...

think id rather watch rovers - but on second thoughts maybe not....

[den]

Truth is neither side can bat on this.

Pope out to a straight one, previous ball spun and turned over his left shoulder.

If anyone knows how to bat on this wicket let the England team know.
