Root is a proper monster.

Watching that average slowly tick up. 49.93... Meanwhile, I feel for Leach, but it's nice to see Moe getting some runs. Moe and Wood in the same team: ...not five minutes later...

50.09! Ouch. Poor Jimmy. Last possible (legitimate...) ball of the day.

No posts for the entire day... thought I'd locked the thread again. Draw got to be the favourite, surely?

Beautifully poised, all results possible. Makes me wish I still lived in London, I'd be there for day 5 like a shot.
England favourites. I'd guess 50% England 30% draw 20% India without checking WinViz. Pant still there but Indian tail is bobbins and the new ball is due. If they survive the first hour tomorrow they'll have done well.

India a/o for another 40 to 50 runs and I'd put it 50/50 eng India, any more than 200....cant see it being chased tbh

The ICC would improve cricket immeasurably by insisting every team picks at least three and ideally four proper tail enders like India have played here. Competent tail enders are ruining cricket.
To be clear, Stuart Broad can absolutely stay regardless of his alleged top score.

Creeping towards an uncomfortable chase here.....if this isn't wrapped up in the next 15-20 i'm putting India as favourites

England in 'failing to bowl out the tail' non-shock.

Preferring getting into a dick swinging contest rather than bowling them out, not a fan i'll be honest.

Brainless. They're shit batsmen, bowl at the stumps.

Absolute peak England, this is the test team that the ECB deserve.
