Good for the series today, cos if India had been bowled out for 150, it would have killed it.

They have a fighting chance of winning this match from this position, and people forget the first game could have gone either way.

Yeah would have killed the series with it hardly starting yet.
Nice to see some good batting decks as well.

Wouldn’t surprise me if england get thumped here and it becomes a close series again.
Root needs to stand up though he hasn’t dictated a big 3 test match for a long time can’t remember his last important innings in a big 3 game.

Surprised the lack of criticism the bowling getting today though, probably the worst I seen england bowl for a long time, they even bowled better in the ashes and the past India series.
No exaggeration there either at least in those two nations they bowled to their field and provided control.

The bowling in the last 2 sessions were pathetic, so many easy runs and boundary balls India were scoring 4-5 runs an over with ease.
IMHO that could probably be the difference in this game especially it did look like a deck with some help for the bowlers if they pitch it in the right areas.

They probably won’t critise the bowling anyway since if england lose suspect they will look at the batting failures or Jennings drop.
But got a feeling india got an above par total on their way and England let the advantage slip with couple of hours buffet bowling.

If India had a better tail batting england could be in serious trouble in this test match.

I would think India would be very happy with their days work. Bit of pressure onto the England bats.

Only watched a small snippet of the play, but i wonder if England might have benefited from the variety of a left arm seamer. Seems to have played a part in the first 2 tests?

getting heavier now, think the 40-60 runs england conceded yesterday because of poor bowling could be costly now.
if they bowled better india could have been 240-250/6 rather than 300/6

That has more to do with Sky's re-branding, with only having one 'cricket' channel, and showing the WSL on it straight after the test. Fairly sure most would agree that live sport should take preference over analysing what has gone before?
Sports broadcasting media nut miscast as a hard-working family man. Or should that be the other way around?

True no complaints with that, even before the re branding we hardly got much analysis before the end of days play.
think most days the coverage end around 6.30 because of other commitments and a lot of the coverage at the ends of days play was rushed although Sky did at the time give 1 hour coverage at the start of play and they started 1 hr Verdict shows during that time, so it wasn't really a big deal though but I did prefer hearing the interviews and comments at the end of the days play rather than waiting for the Verdict or tomorrow morning for it.

now it seems it is back to 10.30 am starts barring Weekends and Day 1 games and Verdicts/debate was cut to 30 mins so we are losing time on the analysis part and pretty certain we seeing less player interviews and sky cart things this summer now.

Can't agree with this. Bowling was not at all bad , apart from Stokes who seemed a little over-anxious to get back into things and bowled a lot of loose stuff. Pitch was fairly easy for batting - some movement yes but nothing a good player couldn't handle
; and the lack of pace allowed adjustments as required.
Rashid got the big wicket ; but still leaks too many runs for mine ...takes away any pressure of tight bowling at he other end. Still he may yet play a part later.
I think the truth is India played much better (not hard , perhaps !) today. Right from the openers , they left better and picked up runs when they had the chance , without taking great risks. Their two best players compiled an excellent partnership ; and if the tail can wag they could still get up around 400.

Whether that will be a winning total we won't know until England bat. Frankly I think this is a pitch on which a Test team ought to get a pretty decent score ; but we've seen England fold in similar positions too often recently. And that top order is overdue for runs...would be a good time for Root or Cook to make a big one...

not sure conceding around 4.5-5 runs per over in the last 2 session is ok bowling.
although it could be because Woakes, Anderson and broad were tired for doing the bulk of the bowling and Stokes and Rashid not really giving control so the other 3 bowling more overs.

Woakes conceded 18 runs in one over at one point.

good signs for india.
India has never lost a Test match in England after making 300+ batting first. Their highest total in a lost cause is 293 (batting 1st) at Leeds in June 1952.
