Rain on the final day? why lie? as you know the forecast is pretty good. this thread is irrelevant..As for England being positive. England will be 450 on by the middle of the final session leaving India an hour and or maybe an hour and half.

The weather forecast for Monday is sunny interval all day, with no rain.

England need a steady, solid start then speed up later. A lead of 450 then declare leaving 3 1/2 sessions to bowl India out.

350 is not enough - India can score that.

No point in watching or listening to the commentary. According to Jack Bannister on Talk Garbage we are going to bat until tea time knock off all the runs we need without any problems as they only have 3 bowlers blah blah blah and then have a really good go at them after tea and polish them off tomorrow.

I always find it amusing when a so called expert writes off the worlds best team at the moment and is then shown up to have as much foresight as a weather forecaster. And they get paid for spouting utter tripe.

I think he is spouting a lot of sense, and it's going to happen. What game are you watching?

"No point in watching or listening to the commentary."

I don't get the problem. It seems a reasonable prediction - it is similar to what I predicted and it is coming true.

With a 190 run deficit on the first innings, you would expect England to dominate.
