Looks like England are going to go with Anderson and Wood tomorrow.

Too early to begin the doomsaying?

It's a massive task to turn this one around. They need 3 wickets before close to have any chance I think.

Jadeja has just completely strawberry floated over Sarfaraz. Big bonus wicket as he was taking the game completely away from England.

If England can keep India under 400 then there is a chance. Big first session tomorrow.

That feels like an opportunity lost after having them 331-7, maybe 60 runs too many.

This is a good pitch for batting. Previously India would've made 600 on this, I think England will be satisfied but I agree it could've been better.

Ben Duckett :lol:

Checked the score and we lose a wicket. My bad

Looks like a tripe pitch. Every chance England could still lose six for eighty to Bumrah on it, but it still looks like a tripe pitch.

As in a road, or something else?

As in a road, yes.

Still got to get them though, well done Ben!

Going at over a run a ball against Ashwin, Bumrah and Siraj on an Indian pitch is mental. Duckett :wub:

Bad news for Ashwin, hopefully isn't not too serious (though it probably is if he's leaving a test match half way through).

They genuinely should allow a sub for this. Daft that they don't.

Not surprised to wake up to this. Bairstow continues to do the square sum of strawberry float all and Root not much more

That's quite some capitulation. Only one winner of this game now. Duckett must be quietly fuming.
