Good fightback today, 126 ahead now. But they'll need a minimum of 300 to make a game of it. Can the last 4 wickets get the score up to that point? Can't see it myself. India still in control of the game.

Surely anything north of 250 at least gives us something to bowl at though? I know posters are saying the pitch isn’t doing much but that can always change, and even if it doesn’t to any great extent there’s always the chance in cricket of a brain fart inviting pressure onto the batting team.

India are still heavy favourites of course but we’ve given ourselves a glimmer of a chance when at one point we were looking at losing by an innings.

The more the better, obviously, but chasing 150 always seems harder in the 4th innings. Hopefully the uneven bounce increases tomorrow.

I’ll pop along to the doctors if you‘ll pop along to the opticians. I clearly stated that England limited their chances, amongst many things, by fielding two inexperienced spinners in this Test (no idea why one was opening the bowling with the new ball). My point was that England will need to gel quickly and learn quickly if they want to compete on this tour. I think they can, though whether the bowling attack will be strong enough to win even two matches is debatable.

Funnily enough i picked up two pairs of specs last week
That being said my expectations were the same before and after I did, all Im hoping from this series is to put a fight up , ofc we could win a test , but the least I expect is to put a fight up with the understanding we dont really posses the correct weaponry for the terrain on this occasion
And so far, we're doing just that no complaints fro this end

Wicket lost already but at least Pope’s still there, so we can keep the scoreboard ticking over here, they seem to be rotating the strike well (famous last words …)
 
Get the lead to 250 and I make England favourites, I honestly thought it was all over when Stokes went yesterday, tremendous knock from Pope
