England V India

279 all out.

I'm happy with that. Although, I thought we would've got them out for around 250. Still, I can't complain.

Shit. This is going to be really tough to save.

Will take something epic to win it and I don't think a draw is possible.

It all depends on the pace of Englands reply - I have a feeling it might be first test re-visited.

I think India will be put into bat a few overs before Tea, tommorrow. . . or after tea, providing they don't get bowled out, for 80 or something mad.
 
Anderson bowled well. He still has his head pointing down at the moment he releases the ball but it seems to be working.

That's really poor that. It causes your action to fall on release, when the opposite is the best. Changing his action though, might not be for the best.

Yes but the pitch here isn't going to as good in the 4th innings as the one in the second test. Battting last and getting 250+ isn't going to be easy.
 
Bell should be dropped for Shah or Cook next test series.
 
Could've been worse. What's that, 150 ahead? Add another 150 to that and it'll be a tough target.
 
We have to win this match so we can't be too conservative if we get into a position to declare.

True.

And, by the way, that GiggsyPO bloke really did turn out to be a cretin.

He bowled excellently this test, he has really sorted out his accuracy and i'd put him ahead of Plunkett.

Bell needs some time out of the team, looks like he has hit a brick wall.

India still can't catch.

He scored 95 runs in the last Test and was top scorer in Pakistan.

Yes, he was good on a pretty flat track, and prior to that tour I said that he deserved to play if you remember, but he has struggled this tour, and there are others who deserve to be given a chance.
