I feel like i'm in a battle to out-pessimist you but one wicket and it changes massively.

 

165 runs is a lot to get on a deck that is doing a bit and we only have Bethell, Smith, Tongue, Overton and Atkinson to come.

 

Many twitsts to come but I this pair has done so well to get it to this point. I would say it's about 45-55 in India's favour. Probably Gill's toughest test as captain so far.

Mate tell me where that one wicket is coming from. 

 

Bethell and Smith are more than capable of seeing the game out even if these two do get out, because of the runs achieved so far.

Long way to go.

 

Not sure of Gill tactics, went on to the defensive to early, and running his seamers into the ground when you have a quality spinner is odd.

Indeed. Jadeja needs to come in just to stem the flow of runs for now and give the seamers a break.

This series has already turned on its head about 3000 times so you're right. I'll just be glad when its over 🤣

Brook more than likely being Brook

Love Jadeja, real fighter.

Brook is striking at 110-120 odd. One miscue and youve got a young Bethell coming out nervous as **** with his test career in the balance. Two quick wickets and you're essentially 240-6 with 130 required with only bowlers to come.

If its close I reckon we see Woakes batting.

How pessimistic are you now?! 

 

Only 116 left to win. 

 

Barring a major collapse (very unlikely) you're seeing this out with ease. 

 

Not even a sniff of a wicket for ages.

Did you watch England cricket in the 90s? And indeed the 1st innings....😭

Krishna is a bit of a tit really. Not sure why he's constantly sledging Root.

Wickets bring wickets.

 

Obviously the longer you go wihtout taking one the more happy i'll be.

 

But one wicket and Siraj immediately gets recharged with adrenaline.

Honestly what a performance by England so far, scoring so far and could quite possibly have this wrapped up in an hour. England have kind of treated like a ODI game.

That Siraj drop proving ever more costly. 

 

Pathetic from us really. Mentality isn't there in these situations. 

 

Had England under pressure when these two came in. Let them ease into their batting and they flourished. 

 

Something Gambhir, and to a lesser extent Gill, have to sort out sharpish.

There's a wicket, but I don't think it changes the outcome. Damage already done. 

 

Phenomenal ton from Broom given the circumstances and state of the game. Attacking pays off.

He's just got a ton, he can bat how he wants lol

 

2 set batters against a tired attack, could have seen this out with minimal drama.

 

2 more quick wickets and it looks a lot less of a precession.

You're finishing this off with ease. If you lose it, it's not Brook's fault.

Brook has more than played his part. 

 

Now it's time for Bethell (and perhaps Smith) to do theirs and Root to do what he usually does in this situation. 

.....and if Root gets out ? 

Brook was superb, but he can't be so arrogant & think it's won. 

Be greedy & see it through.
