I think wicketkeeper should have a massive input. India has a freshie to make big calls and England has someone who's too reserved.
How?

Generally all teams should be much more cautious, cricket umpires are very, very good and it's always hard to overturn once an umpire has given it unless you've got an inside edge.
Given your previous comments regarding Jennings, suspect Root will be out not long after lunch.
Not that this England team needs any jinxing.
Ashwin just needs one, I think he'll run through the rest.
Poor shot from Bairstow.
Amateur shot and rightly bowled.
It really was.
I have to say, for all the talk of coaching and the quality of it, I would not want coach some of these England players. On another planet some of them.
Fast bowlers very good. Would be good to get some wickets. Ashwin poor.
Effective or not, his new thing of bowling a million variations every spell is crap to watch.

Surely anything over 250 will be too much to chase?
Ashwin has really let us down. Pathetic so far.
Ffs 
Well done. Have to take every chance like that.
Short of his root
Root
Terrible from England again. Stokes blocks for an hour then takes a crazy single.
We may still be ahead in the series but we're getting all the small things wrong. Run outs, dropped catches, batting collapses... Something's very wrong at the top.

India need to wrap this up in 50 runs. Anything around 200 and India will be all dependent on Kohli
Not chased down anything over 100 in 15? Years away from home
To be fair they've only played about three away games in that time.
Yup, England only need about 30-40 runs
Why's he bowling so many.. and the tactics are often weird. Around the wicket into Stokes pads..
Not good but far from pathetic. To be fair England players are playing him well unlike our batsmen who were gifting wickets to ali.
Come on Ashwin do something already
Yeah I think we've lost this one.
You Indians need some hope, so negative
With kohli there is always a chance.

Rubbish review.
Umpires have been spot on from what I’ve seen this test
Umpires are so impressive. It takes me about 4 replays to figure it out
That’s a very good catch.
Ben Stokes strange innings has come to an end
26 overs for his first wicket. Awful so far, but really hope he cleans it up now.
I think England have got too many already. Our poor record chasing combined with our inability to play well on turning pitches will it really tough.
I'd like an England lead of 250 plus.
Think it's more likely to be 200ish at best.

It's already enough to win. And you'll get at least 50 more.
Every time there's this one player who destroys your hopes. Sam Curran is that cnut this time.
Horror show for Ashwin, full tosses and half volleys galore.
