They can easily win this Test if the target is not more than 350

England can easily bowl out India for just 75 runs in the 2nd innings...they have clouderson

Pandya and Pant...the two P's have created an opportunity. The batting has to cone good to translate to a win and of course the conditions need to help as well.
But India have a big upper hand now

To be fair the series was alive and kicking during the first test which swung one way to another.

India shoukd have been 2-1 up after 3 tests. They are at a different level.
First test defear was a choke but anyway cricket ia not a game of ifs and buts.
After this win, India should aim to obliterate England.

Exactly,it's only in the second test where we got stream rolled but hope all the negative comments have got the team pumped up.
Only if Byuvi can make a combeback in next test.

Great performance by India , only if they had won the 1st test things would have been much more interesting.
This is almost the same as the series in South Africa. Closely lose the first test, get demolished in the second, and then win the third.

Guy has one good inning with the ball and he is the 2nd best player already? Lol. Lets be realistic. He isn't going to take 5fer every inning. Bhuvi can score these 15-20 runs which Pandya scores and is 10 times the bowler Pandya is. I know right now his fans are over the moon with his 5fer but if England can drop Sam Curran after his good performances then we can also drop an inconsistent player.

Ash if its a similar pitch as this or second test, most likely.

India is never going to drop a pace bowling all rounder. He will be persisted like they did for Rohit. As long as Pandya performs once in 5 games he will keep playing. That's the truth whether we like it or not.

He bowled well at Lord's too. Besides, he has better stats at this stage than Ben Stokes who has got a consistent run because of the impact he can cause. Pandya should get a long run like this at least in overseas tests.

But he is only scoring 15-20 runs with the bat. Don't you think Bhuvi can score those? Also Ashwin has also contributed with the bat.

Even our main batsmen werent scoring those runs before this match.Lets target them first. Pandya has been contributing one way or other every match.Even last match he was our best bowler

England made a mistake by dropping Curran. So you want India also to do the mistake just because Eng did??

Nope, that would be disastrous, he is finally getting his line correct in England now plus Bhuvi for Pandya would be disastrous for reason one is coming back from injury but if Ash is injured and England dish out Lords like pitch we should play him instead of Ash.
Also England dropping Curran and not Cook is the reason why they are in this position.

Very true, all Indian fans are going to be mocked so bad lol.
Lead by 292 runs with 8 wickets in hand with 3 days left. Now assuming weather doesn't screw this game over, then anything that isn't a win for India is a pretty big failure.

India's loss of 2 of their main seamers, bungled up bowling selection in the 2nd test, toss losses kinda put India at a disadvantage. To add insult to injury India had one too many passengers.

Only way India can lose this is if they all out for 50 runs more and then kohli and dhawan bowl for the whole of England innings. even then I can see England making a meal of it.

Some fightback this. With better looking better for next 3 days, we will need some reverse swing as well to bowl England 2nd time in the teat. For that Shami has to be in good rhythm.
Those wishing Bhuvi to be back for next two tests, there are reports of him being already ruled out. Don't think there will be any changes now. Not sure how serious is Ashwin's injury.

Please do me a favor. Check his batting and bowling stats this series against all Indian batsmen and bowlers.
Let us see your enthusiasm against Pandya after that.

Umm. No!
Its one test. We are still 2-1 behind. The best we can hope is a 2-2 draw. Though that would be a humongous achievement if we can manage that. The most likely result is 3-1 win for England.
India will still have to play well to win this test. Very much alive both this test and the series I agree. It's been a good fightback so far.
If they do win, then at 2:1 and improving in the conditions then I'll really look forward to the final two tests. A once in a generation win would be incredible and even a drawn series very credible under circumstances...
