We should win, but given England’s recent history of letting sides off the hook, I wouldn’t be surprised to see India enter day five with a lead of 200. Big morning session. We need to get rid of these two, and also get rid of Pant ASAP too.

Players think the same way, putting a lot of extra pressure on the bowling.
Jeffrey Bowcott said Test cricket is about playing session by session!
Michael Vaughan said yesterday, England should be patient, wickets will come with the new ball today! I'm very hopeful for England victory.

Have to say I'm mightily Impressed by Ollie Robinson. Tall, accurate and moves the ball, always asking questions of the batter. Everyone bangs on about bowling speeds but look at the likes of Philander,he was medium pace but had a brilliant test career.

Brilliant from Anderson and Robinson this morning. Again, the idea that we'd even be set something to chase is a bit much

Even as a bit of a Robinson evangelist, I'm surprised how well he has made the step up to test cricket.

Yes he�s looked good from day 1 and carried it on. Very impressive.
Good win for us but India fought back yesterday well.
I still don�t think there is much between the sides myself
You do wonder if there will be a clamour to get Ashwin back in for them. With over 400 wickets it�s a tough call leaving him out.

England are better team and have the momentum with them, England will win next Test despite any changes in Indian team!

My changes for the next test:

1) Buttler out (disguised as a rest to save embarrassment) with YJB taking gloves until Foakes is fit, Pope in for Buttler.

2) Curran out with either Woakes or Mahmood in depending on match fitness - probably the latter.

On what grounds can we pick Pope, he�s hasn�t played a red ball game in ages and his form in the RL has been terrible.

Don't change winning team!
No need for any changes!

I read today that Buttler is expected to miss the last two tests due to paternity leave, though I would have been minded to drop him anyway.

Whilst I chuckled at @ProCricketer1982 suggesting Bairstow get the gloves back, there is part of me that says he should be left alone to prove or disprove his worth in the side as a batsman if Foakes is the long term option, especially as neither Pope nor Lawrence has shown any real form. Realise that this queues up a long debate about our next best keeper, but personally I'd quite like to see someone given a couple of games for the experience - maybe Jamie Smith, or Alex Davies.

I mean, it's his home ground where he's used to scoring runs domestically.

Sounds like Bairstow is taking the gloves for the rest of the series. Shame that Foakes isn't fit, as Jonny's slip catching this match was brilliant

Or not scoring runs domestically in recent times�

Lawrence in for Buttler?

Lawrence has been released for County Championship games for Essex
