Rahul falls to a shocking Rashid delivery on 199. Would you believe it.

Fantastic knock from Rahul,

Silly water to get out, especially on 199..and he knows it

*silly way

Good day for India overall. Rahul already has 4 test 100s. This guy has so much talent and if he controls his attacking instincts he can go to be a very consistent player. Deficit less than 100 now. We really a good chance to get a decent lead tomorrow and if this 2 bat well, we can cash in with a quick jadeja 50.

Silly water seems better somehow.

I see Pujara failed.. so is record of 900 runs out of 1000 against England in India, failed this time.

England are pretty use less..Be glad when this tour is finished.. we did get Vijay but didn't have a review so lost out!.

This is like slow death for England

With the way England are bowling they have no chance of picking a wicket. If India don't give them the wickets, this 2 can carry on batting until tomorrow without losing a sweat.

With England playing 6 bowlers very strange to see them still go to the part timers

Its because England have given up..They may as well have.. Unlesss you chuck the chances of getting a team out on wickets like these is hopeless. Only time I complain about pitches is when they are so slow they offer nothing to no one..
If England collapse and lose on here. They should be shot..But it will probably happen..

Te pitch has been pretty dull...but I bet the England batsman will make it look like a lively track

WHAT A CATCH!! to get Ashwin - Buttler

This is just brutal now.

Kohli should be looking at declaring before the end of play today

Looking at the way they are swinging, I'm guessing Englands pain will be over soon

Can see us conceding another innings loss here despite the pitch being flat as anything!

I assume it was prepared like this to get the crowd in to watch Kohli score 500 on his home ground?

Serial - the wicket hasent deteriorated too much. Still a good batting track.

England should be able to bat out 3 sessions.

Scoreboard pressure and bowling for 185 overs and counting will leave them with the predicament Serial mentioned.

India should have declared already.

Kash - I can see that being significant if Kohli declares today. After a nights rest they should be ok for tomorrow. England should just ignore the scoreboard, a win is out of reach, but they could salvage a draw.

But agree with your previous comment, this is just brutal now

Blue Heaven - agreed. Kohli must have a specific time he wants to declare, and it looks like the batsmen know it.

My guess is if a wicket falls now, it'll be done

England have been bowled out on flatter decks than this despite the fact it's not deteriorated...

There's probably an earlier flight they have their eyes on...

They are waiting for Nair to get 300
