India tour of Eng, June 20 - Aug 4

[Arthur Crabtree]

That makes things awkward. I make India favourites again.

[sussexpob]

And suddenly 37/3 seems possible.

God this series has been SO GOOD. I can barely watch now.

Surely if this gets to 5-10 runs, woakes is coming out one handed?

[Arthur Crabtree]

Has to.

[Gingerfinch]

Should Smith be positive and try and get these before the new ball comes?

[sussexpob]

Overton needs to forget about runs while Smith is there .just block an end and let the senior batter win the game

[Arthur Crabtree]

India going to get a decent taste with the new ball at this rate.

[sussexpob]

Feels like it's doing everything now. Smith cut in half, Overton beat before. Pfft... This is pressure

[Arthur Crabtree]

Still, England in a far better position than they were this morning!

[sussexpob]

Siraj causing Smith difficulties...beats him again.

[Arthur Crabtree]

My impression is England are currently not running towards the danger.

[Arthur Crabtree]

And now they're off...

[Arthur Crabtree]

Stumps. Bit of an anticlimax.

Handy for India. Pace bowlers get a good night's sleep and an ice bath, and then are given a new ball.

[Durhamfootman]

Not over yet, then, I see

I assumed England would have won it at a canter by the time I got back. Not for the first time, I was wrong

Big chance for India in the morning. All remaining England batters can bat, all have FC fifties and hundreds to their name and 35 is a teeny tiny total for them

have they got the stones though?

I confess that I thought this was day 5

[Durhamfootman]

If Woakes did have to come out to bat, then I reckon it would also be the very last time he pulls on England whites, so it might actually be quite fitting

[Arthur Crabtree]

Root says Woakes will bat. Well, he said 'I think so' but presumably he knows.

Would have been a result tonight but for the conditions.
