Jennings drop of kohli has to be one of the worst attempts you will ever see

It was a perfect height for a catch, he didn't even get a hand on it

7 dropped catches in the match, not only can't our batsmen score runs they can't catch either

Lead is 481, surely India will declare and have 8=9 overs or so at Cook and Jennings..?

Pandya clearly wants to smash Rashid all over the place

He'll either get a few sixes or get out soon I reckon

Rahane really struggled this innings. Rashid gets his second wicket of the innings.

Rashid gets his third wicket. Shami out.

Finally the declaration! India 352-7 declared.

Pandya 52 not out

Rashid 3-101

Target 521.

England 2 down at the close is my guess

Not going to be an massive innings win, but still target of 520 gives a good enough chance to return back the thrashing received last week. :clap

India's second slip is definitely standing in front of the first slip

In the head to head between Root and Kohli, Root is currently in about 6th position

not Hameed?

at least England have the right number of keepers in their side now

although they'll probably call Foakes up

Citing their 'inspired' decision to have an extra keeper in the team for just such an eventuality

Pope is a keeper.

He's England's experienced middle order bat now. England batting is starting to resemble Journey's End.

Is kohli a better player than Sachin?

Not a question I'd considered before, but kohli certainly isn't far off

The fact he is batting in a much weaker line up certainly goes in kohlis favour, Sachin had Sehwag, Dravid, ganguly and laxman to bat with whereas most of kohlis team mates don't know which end of the bat to hold outside of Asia
