Woakes is such a good cricketer

Comfortably the most underrated player since I can remember.

I really don�t fancy us chasing anything around 250 even with no Ashwin for them.

Feels like heads have dropped here, been pretty poor after lunch

The tactics where crap in the second session. Bowling Moeen with 6 men on the boundary let India milk easy runs and this lead seems far too big already.

The fielding more than anything will cost us the test, the dropped catches and missed run outs have been shocking

Pitch looks dead, there is nothing in it for the bowlers. Eng can chase this if they can wrap this now quick and end the day with 70 odd.

All going to be on the new ball and playing Jadeja well

Pretty certain the pitch won�t look �dead� when Bumrah and Yadav are bowling around 90mph...

Can't see our fragile batting lineup chasing that

Apart from Root obviously, all of Woakes, Malan, Hameed, Burns, Bairstow and Mo are scoring and in form. Don't think the batting is as fragile as in the start of the series. Also the pitch is like odi pitch now and most of these guys are good ODI players.

rickjames · « **Reply #656 on:** September 05, 2021, 03:33:03 PM »

I would not class one score from each of them across 4 matches as 'in form'. If the top 4 can put on 200 odd between them fine, but I just don't have faith in them

ppccopener · « **Reply #657 on:** September 05, 2021, 03:38:13 PM »

The pitch has flattened and the bowlers did ok with the dropped chances and missed run outs.
I cannot see us being tough enough to get anywhere near this run chase, 250 maybe but not this much.

It is hard to predict an outcome here. Match hangs in a balance. Pitch is batting friendly but I don't know if ENG batsmen can capitalize on it. They could do really well but they could also fold under pressure exerted by Kohli and co.

This is match is all about mental strength now.

Looks like it will be difficult work for either side to win. Draw is the easiest outcome based on the pitch condition. Only way Ind can win is if Eng go too hard for the win and lose wickets in the process. Otherwise, should be easy for Eng to draw it out at least. But given the target and overs left, Eng would go for the win. That's where it gets tricky and interesting.
