Here you guys. Do you think we could see something special. Remember Broad has broken rib.
 
No way. The last session is where the wickets have fallen in this series and once this partnership breaks I would expect England to wrap things up quickly.
 
It certainly is on...getting very interesting indeed.
 
Nope, India will lose 5 wickets in last sessions.
 
I don't think so, but a great effort by India regardless.
 
90% England win and 10% Draw.

One wicket here will bring down the Indian Castle.

All it needs is one mishit from either of these 2 and then it will be Jaddu and the hopeless tail.
 
At least they are playing positive cricket. No typical Pakistani style tuk tuk. :misbah
 
It is highly impossible the chase in last session.
It sounds easy.... 160 runs in 32 overs in T20 era.
However T20 has no NEW ball due in 3 overs and negative bowling is legal in tests ,besides fading light factor.
So odds are 85 % against India.

But if these two can pull it off that 15%, two new stars will be born in Indian cricket....and this chase will figure in history books for ages.

Their consistency is what will matter in the long run. Even Kedar Jadhav had a memorable couple of ODIs against England and Dinesh Karthik hit a six off the last ball to win the Independence Cup tri-series not too long ago.
 
Was never in danger. Modern day batsmen seem to struggle after a restart after a good partnership when chasing a big target or when scoreboard pressure is on.
 
Reminded me of AB-Faf chase in Johannesburg and Markram-de Kock chase against Australia first test but still it was too hard for India.

Actually, it was similar to first test played between SA and Aus when SA had to chase close to 500 and Aiden/de Kock at once looked like chasing the total but eventually got out and collapsed.

For India also, it was an opener and a wicket-keeper who came close but one wicket and then it was a matter of finishing it off.
