For all my negativity against England..We are more likely to beat Australia away from home and we have beaten SA In SA.. India have no chance.

Behave Kav, we won't get to runs India already have now.

More concerned with the footy today anyway

I know thats likely Neo but I meant I can't see Kohli declaring before we reach a lead of close to 400. Will probably be at some point late tomorrow.

Looking ahead to the series against South Africa in England.. England should produce result wickets ie leave grass on the wicket and pack our batting line up.
Cook
Hameed
Root
Duckett(or someone else)
Moeen
Stokes
Bairstow
Buttler
Woakes
Broad
Anderson

I don't care if England are forced bat first on green wickets..Just play attacking cricket.. Our best chance of beating South Africa at home is our seam bowlers.

All the batsman struggling to score and Kohli going at a run-a-ball

Neo me too..if we control the game early on. I fancy us to get stronger as the game progresses.

That's a beauty from Jimmy

Kav,

It's pleasure to watch him play.. That is why I love cricket.. it's 1.50 a.m here in Cali..

Hope that is fine with some Uncles on this board

Beauty from Anderson

Damn Pujara.. India in a bit of trouble..

I hope Anderson stays fit for another 2/3 years and plays until hes 38.Hes another class bowler..

Slightly more concerned myself, looks like we will be missing key players, lost there last season. Bad feeling our run will end today. Not the end of the world if we do though, fingers crossed I'm wrong.

Not much you can do about those tbf. Just the class of the delivery.

Kohli looks in superb form! Tremendous short..

It's high time for Rahane to step up his game..

I wouldn't worry if I were an Indian fan. Looks like the top of the pitch is going.. Another heavy roller tomorrow and it will crumble. I wouldn't be surprise to see England 5/6 down by the close tomorrow evening

Englandwhoelse.. We never underestimate England! Look how Stokes & Bairstow showed fight today.. If other batsmen apply themselves then anything is possible. We would prefer 400 or more!

Kohli looks to be the difference so far in the series, very little on it otherwise. Unimpressed by both sides to be honest.

India will be shooting thrnselves in the foot if they bat on after a 350 lead..

Yup Georgi

Don't forget Ashwin's batting though at crucial times and his contribution with the ball in this match..

Afridi,

We have time so can afford to get 400. I don't think Kumble, team management would prefer to set target around 350.

This is a terrible, terrible idea.

There's never been a successful side with 8 batsmen in test history. 7 doesnt work, let alone 8.

Cook
Hameed
Root
(batsman)
Bairstow
Stokes
Moeen
Woakes/Rashid
Wood
Broad
Anderson

Jspur.. I look at the lower order batting.. We will get out of masses of problem.. We need to produce result wickets.We cant go in with a weak batting line up incase we lose the toss.. Otherwise.. We should produce wickets like the one that stuffed the aussies at Trentbridge.
