Looks like we're batting to give India 400 off 110 ISH overs...

Only Gill averages more second innings than first and this pitch is starting to liven up

More time being taken out of the game with that review.

24 overs left for the day - can’t see them getting them all in with india slowing the game down

Still no declaration with leach coming out to bat

There is a plan but bit hard to see what it is..
We are taking time out of the game ourselves.

Maybe Pant spooked England and Root thinks 400 is gettable....dunno

A blessing they got bowled out! Very bizarre cricket

Probably only 16-17 overs possible now tonight

Decision made for us now in any case. I'd guess they want to be in a position to bat India out the game in terms of time/overs to chase whilst also hoping the pitch keeps deteriorating. The way Pant batted yesterday and Root today, shows that it isn't impossible to score quickly.

Agree probably the pant factor. But very defensive mindset from England having been on top of the game for 4 days

Quite defensive but understandable considering the lack of top class spinners.

Wont be easy for India to survive but draw the favourite for me now

Beauty from Leach to get rid of Sharma. Reminded me of Wheelie Bin Vs Damien Martyn in 2005.

I hope we give Anderson first use of the ball while it's still at its best.if there is any movement he's the one with the skill to get something out of it.

The pitch is not a minefield thou so expect India to bat all day, if luck and chances come our way we could sneak it

Eng strategy makes sense. If they gave same target to India with 4 full sessions, it would have given Eng a higher chance to win but would have also given India a chance to win. By giving ~110 overs for 420 target, they have effectively made sure the only possibilities are Eng win or draw from here. Also, it could be argued that Eng win chances are higher under reduced overs as Ind will need to take more risks if they are to go for a win from here versus if they started out at tea yesterday.
