Not sure the pitch is fast enough for too many short balls today.

India need to start thinking about the rate here, its ok to stay in, but they have to score a lot of runs today.... need to start attacking soon

I would think india will be happy to get to 10 overs with 10 wickets left.

Watson, Maxwell and Faulkner will be targeted when they come on to bowl.

I would agree, can ease the pressure.

But India are comfortable chasing, certainly not in a hurry at present.

If memory serves me correctly, Ireland scored 329 in a successful World Cup chase. Can't remember who it was against though...

sussex will be happier now :P

getting through the first 10 overs without losing a wicket was huge, even if they hadn't had that big last over, if they lost 2 or 3 wickets in that first 10 game was over, whereas they will be comfortable chasing 7-8 runs an over for the last 30 as long as they still have wickets in hand

Indeed, but I have seen too many England matches were we bat 40 off 15, then lose 7 wickets in the next 10 overs anyway!!! :point
