Game feels like it is slipping away but it isn't a poor wicket. India showing it is fine to bat on. Tomorrow will be okay to bat on too. 200 is doable even for this England side but probably going to be more than that.

the wicket has dried and the bit of grass on it no gone so the seam is no nipping as much so better to bat on
pressure on the score board with runs in the bank makes a big difference and anything over 250 is asking to much with this england batting line up. if root goes cheaply england will not make 150
 
Like when England were batting when the ball was softer it’s much easier pitch is good! Go back to our batting throwing there wickets away like they did was criminal! You can bet India won’t be letting go now they will get at least 350 lead! We batting tomorrow tea time to save the game!

Hate cricket when it’s so easy sat here watching England make all these mistakes that me here wouldn’t make!

What you are describing is a good pitch not a poor pitch. Something for the seamers when the ball is new and opportunities for batsmen to reward their patience as the ball gets softer. Then it dries out and on days 4/5 spin comes into play .... thank fuck Ashwin isn't playing. Hang on .....
Still think we are out of it because we made no inroads with the first new ball and didn't take full advantage with the bat against the old ball. When Moeen had his brainfart there were still 13 overs to cash in.

you can get to much grass on top and when its rolled into the wicket you get the 2 days we just had when the ball nipped around far to much.. yes a world class spinner would be now right the game and i don't understand why Ashwin isn't playing because he can turn it on any wicket

india are now fav and another 100 runs takes it away from england completely
