Looks like boys are going to lose a tight battle for a horrible session. This match was lost probably on day 1, even before the toss - being host, it was a horrible decision to make it a 9 men team on that surface - Mushi & Hathura must explain why 2 pacers instead of Mosandek for one of them.
It's a great learning experience for this young team with few key moments. The harsh truth in Test cricket is you have to keep focus on every minute till the 40th wicket - boys got a bit excited with England at 106/5 & then 61/5 - basically you have won a Mickey Mouse game on that point, but not Test. Not reviewing Moeen was a mistake, but I won't go much on to that; neither on toss - rather the 3 blunders that cost us is team selection, dropping Jhony at 120/5 in 1st innings & finally losing the last pair at 221 on either side of the night.
Still miracles do happen & there is always something for a first time. I'll definitely watch tonight to cheer for the boys - you did make us happy, now there is a chance to make us proud. Whatever, the game must not go to day 5 - go after the Poms & target 294 in 80 overs or bust.
