You’ve seen how the pitch is playing yeh? Plus it’d be on the 5th day and the pitch is likely to be even worse. 240 should be enough to make it very tough for them. Getting 240 to set them is a different matter

That target of 300+ looking very distant now. Hoping that they finally realise they need to bat more responsibly in this innings...they need to keep the scoreboard moving but don't need to score at 8 an over...especially when it's costing wickets.

There's an Indian coach on the balcony signalling something to the bowlers with a new cherry - seen him doing it several timnes now.

not enough according to Athers - he says 240 the Injuns reckon 280-300I fancy 150 could be a challenging target. 200 and its Englands
Eh?. It means you still have the number of reviews available as before. It might have been wrong but it is nothing to do with reviewing the review which does not exist.They’d already reviewed and the review said “wickets missing” but the sly graphic clearly said “review retained”. They don’t get to review the review, not even India
Was thinking 100/3 at lunch. So not a disaster. Pitch is mega hard to play on. Indifferent bounce is the hardest thing to deal with. Swing, spin and pace can be adjusted to with the eye, but the unpredictability of variable bounce is a nightmare. We’ve got to win the next session and get to 200/6 then we’re favourites. Harry Brooke though! What are you doing. You’ve just got the initiative. Look at the time and the match situation. Really stupid choice of shot. Great talent, but won’t be one of THE greats. He’s just not got the brains
Not yet. Big partnerships - the current and next one. They’ve got to take us to 200 at leastWe are throwing this game away.

Brain-dead batting. It will be astonishing if England aren't thrashed and go 2-1 down. This is a good India side, but not as good as England are making them look.

Pointless moaning thats what they want aggresive cricket.They wont change till the Aussies win 4 or 5 nil.We are always going to be for 3 for not many as Crawley,Pope Duckett are not good enough.

Yep, we are one more wicket away from the tail and losing this test. England getting 150 to 200 is not enough with a full day left for them to knock them off. England can not just sit in and defend and try to take time out of the game.
We need to be batting at the end of play tonight to even have a slight chance of a draw

This is not the problem for me (batting) it's our bowling attack we take down under and we never learn ?

Two wickets maybe? Smith probably isn't part of the tail.

he's good, but under pressure, we have not seen him tested just yet
Root and Stokes need to bat and score for a good 3 to 4 hours in this heat and on a dodgy wicket
