Can England get India 36 all out? Can England chase 200+ in the 4th innings?

Find out on the next episode of DragonBallZ.
 
How many minimum run's india need to score to win the match ? I would say 300 minimum but we should bat full ,no need for declaration .plenty of time left
 
Excellent bowling by India.

Lowest first innings score in India by England. Bad batting by all except the excellent Foakes who ran out of partners and probably is too low in the order.
 
195 is a massive lead. and there are three more days left.

England's bowling will have to conjure up a magic of mythic proportions here, to stand any chance...
 
Virat should come at no 8 to save his average no way this virat is gonna survive old virat would have even scored century on this track

The pitch held together quite well in first two sessions yesterday. Plus i dont think there is anyone better than ashwin to exploit these conditions
 
Broad's wicket was Ashwin's 200th wicket of a left hander.
 
Moeen serving pies to Rohit. India sould send Pant at 3 and kohli at 4.
 
This is how you bat on spinning tracks. Takes some skill. Same as on a bouncy track and on a swing/seaming tracks.
So every type of pitch brings different skills.
 
Ah this pitch is such an explosive, dusty & doctored pitch!
Its been 5 overs but Indians haven't folded yet!
I wonder how its so easy to bat on all of sudden.
 
Gill has an average of 168 against spin in first class cricket (Source: Cricviz).

Is that a reflection of his spin playing ability or the quality of local spinners or both..
 
As I have said multiple times in past, Indians deliberately producing wickets that become flat when they bat and become rank turners when they bowl. The level of mastery is insane.

If ("India is in Strong Position")
{
Print "Doctored!! Spinners Paradise. No sporting Wicket."
}
else
{
Print "Humiliation.. Brrr.. Pathetic at cricket."
}

The script will not change.
 
With a lead of 200, Indian mindset is different to England's, England body language looks deflated hence no response in the field so far, also they've barely had a rest and their back out in the heat .

The mastery wasn't evident in the first test though.

Shouldn't matter on such a substandard pitch when you have quality hit the deck fast bowlers like olly and broad, world class spinners in leach and moeen, ATG allrounder in Stokes and the best batting lineup in the world.

By the way officially England are still 1-0 up in the series!
 
Lot of fumbles from England now. Their spirits look sapped right now. Desperately in need of wicket here or they may have to face 400-450 target and 2 days to bat which is a death sentence on this pitch.
 
Guys, how points will be distributed between Pakistan and India? Will India get full points against us?
 
Finally! England see an opening!
Now bowl Pujara, Kohli out for ducks and they could have decent shot at having any impact on result, if at all
 
Our team needs a crash course in clever review taking.
 
5 matches and 10 innings but no century yet from Gill in his career. I have always looked at him as India's next great bat with Tendulkar - Kohli - Gill in that order. But its time he starts converting the starts into big scores.
 
Excellent pitch and a brilliant performance by the GOAT Asian Test team.

The series has set-up nicely for the D/N Test. India are favorites but it will not be wise to rule England out.

England need both Anderson and Archer for that game. Broad has not impressed.

It would be harsh to drop Stone, so perhaps England could take a bit of risk and go with 3 pacers and drop Leach/Moeen.

Then again, it could backfire big time. Quite a headache for Root and co.

Meh. We won a series against a full strength OZ in OZ and destroyed their fortress, the Gabba with many first choice players missing. Let this English do something nearly as impressive then we can compare.
 
Why are Indian 3rd umpires so poor? Are they not aware of the rules and trained enough? Embarassment :facepalm:

Dropping Bess was a crime in this pitch.

Pink ball will be a tough tough test for India.
 
No shots offered but they give it not out!
Third Umpires / On-field Umpires from India have been Clueless at times!
Oh what a blunder, even if it's missing stumps then still go through the ball tracking if no shots offered.
And really what's up with no third umpire even checking for overstepping a single time!
 
This third umpire has to be the most incompetent clown I've seen, all he needs is the matching gear!

Moeen got Kohli for a duck and also dismissed Rahane. He was as loose as Bess but he did pick up huge wickets. I think he justified his selection.

Won’t say D/N would be a tough Test for India, they are 70-30 favorites, but England certainly stand a better chance there.

It'll be extremely tough for India. The SG pink ball moves a lot and Englands seamers will be able to inflict proper damage. England are favourites imo.
 
Frustrating to see the LBW was hitting stumps. In a world where we have so much technology in cricket we still somehow can't negate errors

Really?

Moeen could have come on instead of someone else.

My thoughts too.

England stand a much much better chance.

If Anderson gets going...that 70-30 will swing fast.

Impressive, we pretty much beat this India team to a pulp in 2018 4-1

IMO we'll brush aside England easy. They don't have enough fuel in the tank to last these long series in Ind/Aus beyond a solitary win or draw here or there.
