    Perfect really. Now to score at a decent rate but don't do anything stupid.

    We've probably got about 46 overs to face before tea. So we need to bat like it's a 50 over game, scoring at about 5 an over.
    239 lead plus 230 would give a 469 lead and a declaration at tea.

    80-2 at lunch

    Ballance given out caught off Jadeja, when once again he was nowhere near it. 2nd time in the game.

    England lead by 319.

    You must have some sort of time delay :-)

    Possibly, but it's never been done before. They will break the world record if they achieve 445.

    Pujara c Jordan b Moeen Ali 2

    I have to say, Moeen Ali seems to be picking up plenty of wickets, as a "part timer". I can't wait until he becomes a full timer. He'll make Swann look like a novice.

    Wow!! Doing a Swann with a wicket in his first over. Cracking spin bowling Moeen Ali, Jordan's a great slip fielder too.

    England have this in the bag now.

    Also, I'm man enough to admit Cook's captaincy has been very positive in this match. Fair play to him

    Whoever said you needed a specialist spinner in your Test squad? :-)

    Moeen has Dhawan trapped in front of the stumps... not given and can't review with DRS. India should be three down.

    Yep, and not even close - hitting half way up mddle stump - a total plumb LBW.

    Moeen does have that ability to get wickets, I guess it helps that the Indian batsmen think they can attack him, and end up taking chances that they wouldn't against say Anderson or Broad

    Well, not quite excellent !! - he has been very good, but his field placings still leave a lot to be desired - and its common sense stuff .
