India tour of England 2018

[Dutch]

England on top here

Mmm not sure.....depends on how long it takes to get the K-man!

 

[Bhumi]

Kohli played bad shot while reached milestone of 6000 test runs in 119 innings.Cong.

 

[Bhumi]

Kohli need 14 more for 500 runs in the series
Out kohli 46

Match effectively balanced with Kohli's wicket. Needless to play at that fifth stump line but again everyone makes mistakes.

This partnership between Rahane and Pujara is crucial. India need to score at least 400 to have a sniff of winning.

Surprised Stokes hasn't bowled. Odd, he could've brought the breakthrough earlier and has more pace than other pace bowlers.

Stokes has a problem with his knee.

Apparently not bad as we thought!

Best opportunity for England to seize advantage here, with that Kohli wicket. Though Pujara is going well and Rahane got runs in the last test, they have not displayed the kind of confidence that Kohli has shown with his batting in this series. India need a minimum of a 100 run lead to have any hopes of a 2-2.

And as I say, there you go! Rahane is GONE!!! Without Kohli, this batting lineup looks mighty shaky. Push Ashwin up the order. To me, he could be the best guy to minimize the damage that's happening here.

I think we have practiced so much for the away swinger that we forget that ball can swing inwards as well[DOUBLEPOST=1535724187][/DOUBLEPOST]Definitely advantage england now. I don't see us getting a lead here since the lower middle order is soo shaky and not trustworthy

Anything short of a 75-100 run lead After having the opposition 90-6 is advantage lost

Yeah he is bowling so well atm and looks like could blow India away here.

Kohli played very badly today. He played way too many balls away from the body. Right after seeing couple of his shots I knew he won't stay longer. Hope Che stays for long time, he is the only hope now.

Can India even take a lead? Already two quick wickets after Kohli got out. I predict a very slim lead, but even that's questionable at this point.

 

[Gaurav_7]

I doubt we can take a lead here. Hopefully Pujara stays till the end for us. We have given away whatever advantage we had after bowling them out for 246. This is poor batting from us. The openers and Rahane in particular. These were probably the best batting conditions they have got till date on this tour and they don't score!

England are well on top now. The way the pitch is helping bowlers, we won't get 100 in the fourth innings .This game was lost yesterday when we allowed them to get away with 250.

Disagree. It was still a good day for us. We needed to bat sensibly today which was best batting conditions which we have failed to do so. This is where we have let it drift.
