I can see a draw……but india need to bat all day tmrw, to get a decent lead and then england have to bat out the final day

I've not got much confidence in us being able to bat out the whole of a final day.

Yes, you're almost certainly right, we will need to bat out the final day.

Four very valuable wickets in India's back pocket, Kohli declaration around 3pm?

I cant see that happening tbh…..unless he wants to tempt england to thinking the win is theirs and they play stupid shots. Thats the type of captain i want though, risk the loss, to gain a win

My head tells me we will lose by a mile. But I have a ticket for tomorrow and due to work commitments I can’t go, so I expect i will miss an historic win.

That was a cracking days cricket and sets it up nicely for tmrw……..so glad i got sky tv in the office and all meetings before 11

I wrote England off earlier this afternoon but this test is a trickster and I find I'm now pencilling in England for a historic victory when it could still go any way. In other words, I've no idea how it will go.

I said to my neighbour earlier, that if england have all wickets intact at the end of play, they will win this test……but with the slow run rate, im still not sure

Test cricket at its absolute best.
