What a waste of another referral.

No chance now. And it's not been the pitch, or particularly penetrating bowling, as much as stupid batting.

They just don't have the brains, or the patience, or both, to play for the draw. Far too many caught in front of the wicket playing shots that could have been defended.

tbh the english press are kind of acting like cook will resign after this game.
then again not sure anyone can survive 2 losses when scoring more than 400 runs in the first innings and that too by an innings.

Still think this is a draw. Pitch is flat

now the tail is batting and not really sure the pitch is flat for the likes of broad, ball.
india should really win this now.
pitch is flat for proper batsman though.

I think a draw is on the cards here.

Five fer for Sir on a flat wicket
That too for 48 runs ! Bowling on different wicket.

[Dr Cricket]

good news for india then last time Botham was impressed with india pace men india were number 1 or top test side for 3-4 yrs.
2007 botham was impressed with RP Singh, Ishant, Sreesanth, Zaheer khan etc.

[Dr Cricket]

Suspect we will see a lot of time wasting as well.
surprised yadav bowling still because of it.
would let jadeja/ashwin bowl the overs now.

[Dr Cricket]

Steyn enjoying Yadav bowling here.

With any luck Cook will soon have more time to spend in the killing fields.
