England need four or five wickets in this session to stay in the match. If not, India will go on to win.

They messed up yesterday should’ve scored double around 220 which would’ve put them in a decent position now they have to induce a collapse before lunch to have a chance.
 
Lot depends on Rahane. He gotta get at least a 50.
 
English spinners have got so much better from the days of Salisburys, Giles, Embureys, Hemmings etc. They used to be as innocuous as they come and hence English teams' surrender on Indian trips.
 
First boundary of the morning from Rohit's blade.
 
And another gorgeous front foot drive from Rohit...
 
Rahane given lbw off Leach, no review taken. Early breakthrough for England, but expect it'll make little difference. India well on top.
 
Can England bowled India under 200 ? If they can it's game on as India bat last
 
Still hope if they can Pant and Sharma out quickly Rohit playing a masterful innings in the conditions.

Playing one spinner hampering England 2 spin attack creates extra pressure.
 
Ajinkya Rahane against top teams since Nov 2016
Tests - 29
Innings - 52
Runs - 1452
Avg - 29.63
100 - 2
50 - 7
Only 9 fifty plus scores in 52 Innings.
 
Ajinkya Rahane average in home Tests, last two years:

v Pace - 106.00
v Spin - 28.25
 
If there are two umpire call ( Impact or hitting ) in a review then it right decision to give Batsman out ? Not talking about this match but in a general.
 
Batting from both teams, save Crawley and Rohit is dire, absolutely dire.

Well that’s two of them quickly.

But that hole in the wicket is extraordinary. On day two. When Ashwin lands it there he will be unplayable.
 
66 brings himself on.

A few sixes from Pant could be critical in this situation.
 
Leach getting more wickets in India than Murali ever did.. whats the point of making such extreme wickets? I am sure India can still win with slightly more firmer wickets that dont just turn for any old spinner
 
Oh my word, Roooooooooooooooot!

This match could be over today.
 
Pant runs out of time to review an edge off Root. India 6 down. The pitch is crumbling.

And what the hell was England and Root was thinking playing only one spinner? Root is exploding the pitch now
 
Whoever asked for this wicket from India is an enemy of fast bowling
 
Incredible start from England. Couldn’t be better!
 
India have to bat last on this pitch so England have the advantage now. If they somehow set a target of 120 they can win.
 
This pitch is a sandpit. Debris flying everywhere.

Thats what they will be thinking but I would be surprised if they even get 80 in the next innings. This worst than even last pitch.
 
These wicket nothing do with pitch.most of Batsman play wrong shot

If England can somehow set India 150 to win in the 4th innings, then they will have a genuine chance of winning the Test match. I fear that India will be chasing 70-80 though, which they will be able to get with 3-4 wickets to spare.

Above 130+ England will win it
 
England have opened up the game extremely well here. Ashwin can still give India a lead of close to 50 though.
 
Ashwin looking much more assured than some of the top order. Impressive cricketer.

Oh wow, 66 strikes again!
 
England’s batsman should be fearless and attacking in the 2nd innings only way of scoring and setting a winning target.
 
WOW what the hell is this pitch? What a delivery remember bowling these at the back garden on unprepared pitches. This wicket is not worthy of test level cricket.

Second innings England should attack, anyone trying to go in their shell is out in a matter of time, a lead of 150-200 should be way to much
