Well done Jimmy.

Hopefully we can wrap the tail up fairly quickly.
 
even if we reached 400 , it will be well enough.

Enough for what? Eng are going to score 600 easily on this track and courtesy of Ishant and Shami it'll be in no time. India will have to bat out 100+ overs to save it.

India have fudged up a great chance to put up a 500-550 score after winning the toss. One of Kohli/Pujara/Rahane should've scored a ton here.
 
The BCCI really are silly about DRS. Without it, the correct decision rate is 91%. With it, 96% It's a no-brainer, as the Yanks say.
 
That was either a smart ploy from Dhoni or very stupid. 5 runs nevertheless, that is more than Shami, BK and Ishant can muster up together :))

Every run from here counts..
 
Indians can stil be bowled out for less than 400 and that could mean trouble for them in this pitch

If England can easily score 600 than this match is a definite draw.
 
Sometimes i feel like going into BCCI office and lock up every official in a dark room until they accept DRS for every series (especially Test series) :po:

Its garbage, BCCI are right. Makes the game all about the umpiring instead of cricket.
 
If we lose a series with 2-3 balls to spare courtesy a wrong decision then BCCI will agree to have DRS I guess

Prior standing up to Anderson in England, now that is something I haven't seen before. :)) Now English fans must understand the frustrations we face playing in India
 
Is Matt Prior missing spinners? Keeping upto his 'fast' bowlers (atleast fast on the paper)
 
The Pitch is already showing signs of misbehavior!! Ominous signs for England if true
 
Anderson should STFU,he just got awarded a free wicket earlier.
 
Anderson is such a cry baby.. Free wicket and still not happy. Grow some nuts mate

Only in the way it is currently used.

There should be no capacity for referrals by the captains because that just slows the game down. The 3rd ump should be able to overrule the on-field umps any time he likes. That would eliminated the howlers and keep the game moving.
 
India will have to play some nightmarish cricket to lose this one. So far they have a firm lead.
 
Have you observed this pattern? India always lost wickets after lunch and tea breaks this test match..
 
I bet everyone wants a piece of this England right now.

Easy points yo :mv (no disrespect to India and SL intended)

Seriously Jadeja what a poor stroke that, I don't get why he limits himself to a slogger. He has a decent front foot and back foot technique, he just needs to have a proper game in his mind.
 
It was bound to happen... MS had survived 2 scares already iirc

An away ton gone begging for MS
