If Ishant can get this much out of the wicket, so will Anderson and Curran. 180 is more than competitive already.

Debenhams for pepper then

The first innings showed how fragile India's batting is. We're just as susceptible as England to collapses as was evidenced from being 50-0. There is a real chance we could be something stupid like 87 all out.

Stand up and

Curran at this rate will be getting a lucrative IPL contract.

Super knock from Curran. 80 odd runs added to the score since he walked out to the crease.

Curran giving us a glimmer, just a glimmer.

All depends on forecast now. If it is overcast when India bat then England are on top. Tomorrow is a mix bag of sun and overcast.

9 down...well have two hours to have a real go at them...if the light holds

Well played Curran. Made a game out of it. Least we will see some cricket on Saturday

Possibly

India need Dhawan to start well. If he bats for 10 overs they should be able to win this.

87 runs in this test match and 4 wickets. I doubted whether he should be in the side but what a performance he has put in. No way Root will chuck him the ball but I'd get him on to open with Jimmy.

No chance we are defending this. 1-0 India.

India minus kohli can’t bat as bad as they did first innings.....this game will be done tomorrow lunch

194 would be India's highest ever run chase in England in the fourth innings should they achieve it. It's not going to a walk in the park...

England just need to make sure they don't give Kohli 5 lives

No chance we are defending this. 1-0 India.

..................

Broad will have to have one of those rare but quite brilliant when they happen 6 or 7 for 20 ish performances, if England are to win this.

Get Kohli out...we win

There are no other computations that favour us

Just need to do what we did in the first innings but make sure we cling on when Kohli offers a chance or two.

India’s batting is Kohli only. The earlier he is at the crease the lower india’s Chances are cause that will almost certainly mean that we have entered the tail

My point really was that we can't afford Broad to have a 0-40 again.

FFS Malan again...his confidence is shot...needs dropping

Vijay dropped by u guessed it Malan.

Someone needs to check Malan bank account.
