From not sniffing 400 to potentially looking to bat India out of the game… I know I’ve invited the collapse now…
What do we think a good first innings score would be?
Got a horrible feeling it will start to deteriorate quite quickly after tomorrow. Think we need 500 minimum to have a chance of surviving the onslaught in the 4th innings

I expect it to be good for batting throughout. The spinners will be more in contention in the 4th innings, but I can't see it suddenly turning into a complete bunsen.
Duckett could have had a long test career from way back .. supposedly he fell from grace by pouring a drink over a senior pro's (Anderson??) head and was non grata for a long time .. he's now making up for lost time

Wondering if Anderson’s time has run out and should he retire like Broad?
Obviously conditions are either helpful or not to his type of bowling but he doesn’t seem to be as effective as he was?
Means they miss his bowling & only have 10 batsman. We really need to take advantage & get a 1st innings lead.
Massive bonus for England though. 207-2 with no Ashwin, and Bumrah looking quite creaky.
The collapse is on.
Think I'll go back to bed.
290-5, 61 overs, trail by 155.
