Jadeja is needed in Test cricket more than anyone else. But yeah, there is a chance that he may retire in Tests and play white ball and IPL only because he is selfish.
yes , watching a dull DRAW is so exciting
Pity they still got whitewashed on 3 absolute belters by England at home

Fair to say this game has slipped out of ENG's reach now.
ENG needs to come back strong in the next match and try and draw the series.

Because the front line bowlers were missing at various stages, and Afridi missed all the tests. England had the better attack throughout, no doubt. Also now Shaan is a far better test captain than Babar

No draw going to happen
Hoping Jaiswal-Gill will do in the next decade or so similar to what Kohli-Rohit did for India between 2013-2020. Lots of similarities, both the players are from U19 batch only with 1 season difference like the case was with Kohli & Rohit. Both are good across all formats. Very promising days ahead for Indian cricket.

Yashasvi Jaiswal smashed his 3rd Test hundred in his career, displaying proper dominance throughout the innings by the youngster. He is miles ahead of Saim Ayub in talent and skills.

This day has gone bad in every way possible for England..
With India down to 10 players, they could have easily stamped their advantage but they did the exact opposite.

India is batting the Bazballers out of the game. It will be intriguing to observe whether England opts to play for a draw or continues pursuing the target.
Are they capable to bat for draw? I know they can win tests against all odds but draw, not too sure.

Oh please no..
I'd much rather we have a good pool of 6-7 solid batters across formats like the Aussies did in the 2000s. No more of these superstar duos which only creates over dependence on them..
Australia also has duo's...Smith-Warner was their main duo across format in the past decade. The batting revolved around them.

Revolutionary captain Stokes and Bazball getting exposed unfortunately.
by gill against Wood .Should retire then come back tomorrow as few overs left from today Play .Jaiswal injured...that jumping celebration injured his back it seems
I'm find something interesting , He is play more comfortable at 2nd innings rather than 1st.
Want to see his stats of both innings
Next test will start just 3 days after the end of this test so there is not much turnaround time.
Gill averages 26 and 41 in 1st and 2nd innings of tests respectively.

Shubman Gill still needs to work on that rooted back foot, which forces him to chase the ball with hard hands. Though it looks like he has worked on his front foot approach and found ways to score runs.
There you go 15 avarage is too big . Most of batter have better 1st innings average than 2nd innings
That's why his test average is so poor.

Patidar was a punt and it has failed spectacularly.
What's the status of KL and Iyer ??
No way. He is a nothing cricketer. Got 4 innings to prove himself, couldn't do anything
Both of them are equally incompetent
Is jadeja already injured during this test match ??
Jaiswal injury
Ashwin out due to personal reasons so is Virat
KL injured
Iyer injured
Shami injured
Pant is already out of team due to excident
Jadeja miss 2nd test.
Probably best chance for visiting team to win a test series in india after more than a decade

This Patidar is 30+ and averages only 45 across 56 FC matches. Is he the best we've got?

Looking back, what a golden oppurtunity for the Eng boys to bury us with runs....
all they had to do was millk our guys - we had only 4 bowlers - no Ash....
am not sure what the equation is with Baz baall and guys like Root, Bairstow - but Surely Root need not play such diamond crazy shots like here and in the 2nd test, surely a legend like him needs to realize he can be the glue around with Baz ball can be played.
For Duckett - dude - what an amazing innings - one of the best along with pope by a visiting batsman on our shores...wow
For our guys - so proud of the way they came out firing....it would have been so easy to got into their shell, into a holding pattern, our guys looked them in the eye.....and cometh the hour - cometh kulli, siraj....i defo feel Kulli is one of most underated guys going around, like Holder, hasaranga etc - whenever he got the chance-he delivers....
for Rajat - i'd say what a total brain fade- soft dismisals in both innings, cant get any softer than these....
Jaizball - wonderfull innings - and with Gill is surely our future, throw in guys like Devdutt, Washi - we now have LH batting strenght that we so severly lacked.
On the match situation, i dont think we are on the victroy roads yet....
End of the day, we have 4 bowlers...and if guys like creepy or duck get stuck - it might be a tough two days ahead.
However, proud of the fire and fight our guys showed....but job half done- much more needed - go Indiaaaaaaa!

England are in a dire position in the third Test after a dramatic collapse and spectacular Yashasvi Jaiswal century on day three gave India complete control in Rajkot.
A breathtaking fightback on the second evening had seemingly handed England all the momentum when they resumed on 207-2 in response to India's 445.
But the tourists lost their last eight wickets for 95 runs to be bowled out for 319, an implosion that began when Joe Root's reverse scoop at the pace of Jasprit Bumrah was caught at second slip.
Jonny Bairstow was out fourth ball for a duck and Ben Duckett tamely patted a very wide delivery from Kuldeep Yadav to cover to fall for 153.
Captain Ben Stokes made 41 but then became the first in a final slide of 5-29 after lunch as England conceded a first-innings deficit of 126.
Left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep conjured a beguiling spell and paceman Mohammad Siraj claimed 4-84 as India's bowlers put in a huge effort following the loss of Ravichandran Ashwin, who withdrew from the Test overnight because of a family emergency.
Jaiswal rammed home India's advantage with his second hundred in as many matches, adding an increasingly damaging 155 with Shubman Gill, who remains 65 not out.
England's bowlers were taken apart by India's free-scoring in the evening session before Jaiswal retired hurt with a back problem on 104.
By the end, the hosts had moved to 196-2, 322 ahead and primed to take a 2-1 lead in the series.
This was a golden opportunity for England. Even with Ashwin, India had been floored on the second evening and the tourists had a platform from which they could possibly fashion victory.
There were questions as to whether, given the circumstances, England would allow Ashwin to be replaced in the India XI. The playing conditions do not permit such a move, so England showed compassion and generosity with their batting.
It was a wreckage similar to England's self-destruction in the second Ashes Test at Lord's, when Australia were there for the taking after Nathan Lyon was injured. This was possibly a bigger waste and could even be England's worst day under Stokes' captaincy.
The spotlight with fall on Root and the nature of his dismissal. No doubt it was ugly and unnecessary, but he was certainly not the only England player guilty of a poor stroke.
England repeated their mistake from the second Test in Visakhapatnam, where a sloppy first innings left them too much to do in the second. They will be bullish about their eventual run chase, but comebacks are so much harder in India because of the way pitches deteriorate - this one is showing signs of sharp turn.
Presented with their sizable and unexpected lead, Jaiswal and Gill roasted England in the burning sunshine, and already Stokes' men face pulling off the highest pursuit by a visiting team in this country.
Bar some handy bowling in the first Test in Hyderabad, Root is enduring a tough tour. In five innings he has not made more than 29 and on the first morning of this Test dropped a crucial slip catch off Rohit Sharma.
The reverse scoop has become his trademark under Stokes' captaincy, yet in the circumstances this was a grave error of judgement. Jaiswal took a sharp catch to give Jasprit Bumrah his ninth dismissal of Root in Test cricket.
England never recovered. Bairstow played back to a sharp turner from Kuldeep and was bang in front. Duckett, architect of a stunning 133 not out on Friday, added 20 more runs but could have been caught twice and run out before he toe-ended one off Kuldeep that he could barely reach.
Stokes took his time before lunch, then could not resist a slog sweep at Ravindra Jadeja shortly after and was caught at long-on.
The lower-order was exposed. Ben Foakes patted Siraj to mid-on and Tom Hartley sprinted past Jadeja to be stumped.
Both Rehan Ahmed and James Anderson were victim to deadly Siraj yorkers. In all, England lost their last five wickets in just 38 deliveries.

In 4 Test inns so far, Rajat Patidar has been dismissed by Spinners only each time
By Rehan Ahmed in both innings in Vizag
By Tom Hartley in both innings in Rajkot
An Indian batsman who has played on Indian pitches for 10 years does not understand the world's greatest spinners.

This Indian team management is pulling out some shockers with alarming regularity. 30+ Rajat Patidar with an avg domestic record in place of Kohli is the latest. A much younger Sai Sudarshan might not have fared worse.

England has started playing like Pakistan. So sad!
322 runs
In Asia yes and w.indies.
Good for AUs too.
But for Sen? No.
Jadeja Rahul won't work well in SA and NZ. In England hard to say. If it's flat then maybe
Kohli will return whenever he wants. He is undroppable in Indian cricket.
