Do you think there is even a possibility to throw away from here. Even if Eng lose all remaining wickets for 0 runs, Eng will win with days left.

Years of accumulated paranoia showing 😂

:D Even a draw is out of contemplation. This is just 2nd day and lead is 300+. Once Anderson has ball in hand, the pitch will flip to swinging wicket again :) Only question that remains is can India take game into 4th day - a possibility if Eng decide to bat until tea or later tomorrow.

Odds on India to get 550 with King Kohli getting a double and Pant smashing 150,then skittling us for 175 on the last day?

One of cricket's mysteries at all levels...why are solid performances by the top order often followed by middle/lower order collapses?

India is all smiles - one would think they’re the ones winning.

Yes, happens a lot, after a big partnership is broken, usually another wicket falls quickly. Maybe waiting so long in dressing room for your turn to bat has some effect on the body/mind.

Maybe they think having a go at Anderson when he comes to bat will do it as it did in previous test   :D

England should declare by the time Anderson comes in to bat!
No need to put him in any physical or mental harm!

Not sure how much mileage there was in deliberately overstepping to intimidate a batsman who poses not threat at all but I cannot remember such a short period before when momentum shifted so quickly.
I thought it would be England demoralised after Lords.

India actually look cooked to me. I can understand getting rolled over in seaming conditions but their bowling is all over the shop.
Maybe they have written this test off already?

Not sure if we know that the overstepping was deliberate. Also, when did overstepping become a way to intimidate a batsman? Bowling team gets penalized via no ball, so only bowling team's to lose.
As far as bouncer to bowlers, there is no such rule and all teams do it, so don't see issue there either unless Bumrah was only one in whole world to employ it.

Agree on Ind bowling quality (lack of) though. Harmison explained possible reason for this below but not sure how much of it is really the cause.

Bouncers ok, deliberate no balls when bowling bouncers not ok.

Otherwise what to stop some quick pinging a bumper at a tailender from 16 yards aka nets. Or if you take it extremes then something just throwing one at a batsman? One runs not much of a penalty for that 🤷
