If it starts to look possible for England to get there India can go into full defence mode.

Crowds in the north of England have never been particularly gentile.

I would hope that you would be spewing because you had been drinking since the start of play, I am a bit of a stickler for observing proper etiquette.

People always delude themselves thinking these totals are chasable. I imagine this is done by lunch.

The draw definitely isn’t happening and we’ll know which way it’s going by lunch.

I disagree, I still think that the draw is live and that magnificent £16 will be mine.
I think people are underestimating how difficult it it to score 290 in a day in test match cricket conditions, and how difficult it is to take 10 wickets on this pitch.

How good is India as an away opponent - Australian series, NZ test matches in England and now these test matches against England.

Run rate is not even 2.5 and expecting England to score at more than 3.5 from here on out is optimistic.

36/1 this morning, perfect for the draw, neither team can push for a win at this point

hopefully we end up needing 80 off 12 overs with bairstow and ali at the crease or something like that

That's a horrible shot and an even worse drop.

if we go along at 3/over we'll end up needing 60 off the last 10 overs

I know India have to try something different to take wickets, but that was … unusual

At least it was Malan. Looked like he was going to go soon anyway

Mallan sacrificed his wicket to allow Root to get in. Increased England’s chances of victory by getting himself out

But it has effectively ruled out an England win because it delays the point when they can start to go arial.

Lol Bairstow. Oh and BTW - someone try and make the case that Bairstow isn't Watson and worse when not keeping - 33 average isn't good enough

When's the last time Bairstow had a good innings in test cricket?
