I think Indians would not like chasing anything over 150 batting last. You never know how the pitch would react.
 
Interesting times.

If India manage to squeeze out even a 40 run lead they'd be heavy favourites. Still a long way to go of course...

I guess they picked him because he has test experience.

He's fourth choice seamer at present but he should be behind Onions and arguably behind even Meaker.

Or better still, relegated to the ODI / T20 squads.

Sad to say it after his good service, but Tim's not international standard at all any longer.

Onions, Meaker or even Woakes would have been a better option.

We are badly missing Finn today.
 
If England could just get a scrappy breakthrough from a poor shot or a run out then everything can change.

Still a chance of a useful first innings lead of 40 for England.
 
Conservative field with no slip for Bresnan tells its own story.

Surely Cook can't rate him any longer now.
 
If India do not loose more than one wicket by stumps , they can go for the kill provided they bowl weell in second innings.
 
India 135 runs behind. Dhoni and Kholi treating it like an ODI, but without the pressure of run rates.

They're two of the best ODI chasers in world cricket - maybe they're drawing on that experience. They both seem very relaxed.
 
60 overs without a wicket. It is a long time since India has fought like this.
 
waiting for BulletDrive to come in call this Kohli knock mediocre and say how Umer Akmal would be 150* by now.
 
Strange to see an Indian partnership after a long time, it's been a while lol
 
Bit of reverse there, some encouragement. Wonder if it's time for Anderson.

I am not surprised with kohli - he is much more capable than this. Dhoni's termperament has been a surprise - he seems to be fighting for his honour and place in the side.
 
Looks like India will bat all of today and part of tomorrow, then England will bat into part of 5th day, which means this will more than likely end in draw and England series win. Dhoni might save his captaincy through this match though.
 
Except runout there is no chance of any wicket going down today.

Chawla is good spinner.
 
Had a look at the scorecard, and had a re-check if England was batting.

Too late for India I guess.

We will wipe out deficit today and tomarrow first session is for pure thrashing :))

Danger is not yet over. India can collapse - a lead of 50 to England can be dangerous for a 4th innings chase. Unless India begin to accelerate steeply I dont see an India win here.

What collapse,this attack is not that good and we are very confident now.
 
Who's 12th man? Quickly, send him to a Nagpur fancy dress shop to buy a chubby suit so Anderson can bowl from both ends
 
If this pitch gets messy tomorrow then either team can win, otherwise it's going to be a draw.

17 overs? Yesterday, the ball started talking 20 overs into this innings. So there is a chance of reverse swing after Tea.

Thanks for the update.

Yeah with the top of the surface getting loose with wear and tear, I reckon it'll start reversing by 25-28 over mark. Can be tricky for the batsmen as well as the bowlers as the ball shall be still hard and since bowlers shall look to be full to extract the reverse, there shall be every chances of a few quick runs if the batsmen are ready to use their wrists and bat outside the crease.
 
Feel a bit sorry for broadcasters, gonna be tough to make a highlights package from this day :91:
 
Feel sorry for poms,what should have been a series win against India now slipping out of hand slowly.
 
Good fight back by india ! Let's see if they can get a win here now ! Or is it a draw?
 
A good solid performance by both so far..Its more looking like a draw at the most .

I have a doubt, can batsman go to the loo in case of emergency during a session?
 
Dont know why people talking about draw.

We will easily get a lead of over 125 and then our 4 pronged spin attack + lethal Ishanth will crush poms easily.
 
Some lead today will make things interesting and India will have to play t20 cricket tomorrow to pur more pressure on england..
