rashid gets Dhawan

India has had a very good day today bowling England out so cheaply. Didn't think their bowlers had it in them to perform so well. They should win this one comfortably now. I expect them to set England about 500 to win that should be easily defended in the last innings. Pandya bowled very well.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kohli is on now

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Time for Kohli to achieve what he couldn't in the first inning. A century.

 

[Justcrazy]

India 285 runs ahead

 

[Justcrazy]

England must be ruining the fact they did not play Curran here

 

[K4Kohli]

Everybody saying Curran should have been in. Who are they going to Drop. Broad or Woakes or Stokes?

 

[Oligochaetes]

Nervous 30's for Pujara.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kohli looking good again , composed and collected.

 

[Justcrazy]

Everybody saying Curran should have been in. Who are they going to Drop. Broad or Woakes or Stokes?

He should have played because of variety he would bring to attack. Stokes should have been dropped . He coming from a trial, let him cool off.

 

[K4Kohli]

First test was very close also toss helped England. Second test the conditions favoured England and 3rd one the conditions favourable for India now. The conditions and the toss more important than the talent in the team. And how come Kohli is losing these many tosses

Rashid or Buttler

How many times has a team come back from 0-2 to win at test series 3-2 ? I personally haven't seen any... just want to know what are the odds of this happening?

One time led by Bradman, I think.

Only once.Bradman's invincibles

Woah...only once in 100 odd years?

 

[Oligochaetes]

Huge lead..good batting conditions. India have to bat all day tomorrow and hope ashwin recovers as he will be the major threat with English left hander battery and with the pitch assisting some turn.

Tough situation for England. Is there any rain forecast ?

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Would be great to see Pujara get a hundred.

 

[Sadevdesai]

The Indians with a huge Plus at the end of the day ..... they will Probably win this Match .... not a difficult forecast, needless to say !!!!

 

[pakistani pride]

Would be great to see Pujara get a hundred.

And why would that be great?

Cloudy, but only a small chance of rain for the next 3 days. Certainly enough time for a decision with 22 wkts down and only 18 more to go.

 

[Syed1]

Good win India

 

[Buffet]

Root took Rashid out of attack after he took a wicket. Very poor captaincy. Game is anyway pretty much done and dusted, but you still don't take out a bowler immediately after he takes a wicket.

 

[todfod 11]

See I as I predicted India is winning the series... I knew from very beginning..

 

[Robert]

Don't think so - the Invincibles are so called because they won or drew every match on the 1948 tour IIRC.

Anyhoo, India have already got enough runs. They could declare overnight and will have won the match by tea.

 

[Justcrazy]

England made two bad decisions , bowling after winning toss , and dropping Curran.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

And why would that be great?

For me. I appreciate his grit and application.

 

[Square Drive]

Credit where it's due, parosis played well.

They're talking about the 36/37 Ashes.

The law of probability favors Kohli for the 4th toss. That might as well just determine whether they win the 4th and tie up the series, assuming they win this one.
