It’ll also be where the money is being put on too.England currently 2/5 and India 2/1. Personally, I’d say the odds should be a bit closer than that even with 7 wickets in hand but perhaps 3 big successful run chases in a row prior to this one is part of their thinking.
As you say though, add 2 wickets to where we are now and it’s a completely different story.
Can just see Stokes at the presentation party at the end saying “It’s a shame that the Indians didn’t set us a challenging total to chase.”The plan was obviously to have the highest successful run chase in history from the start :-)

Pep: Now lads, let Villa take a 2-0 lead, then……The plan was obviously to have the highest successful run chase in history from the start :-)
Bairstow will be averaging in the 40s soon. He’s in ridiculous form.
