I think that ball would have got most batsmen, a 'shooter'very hard to defend. We must stop reviewing though because we are just 'hoping' it is not out. I put India well in the box seat here, but hoping I am wrong. Woakes please be fit for the last one. A thrilling series, pitches favour bowling IMO. It kept a little low but that was no shooter.

When will Johnny ever learn. First ball after lunch - play straight, defend, soft hands. What is so difficult. Root will get stuck as ever trying to get the rest of them out of a mess.

Another test thriller. England somehow contrived a lead of 233 at the close with 2 wickets left. i still think England are 30/40 runs short, roughly the runs they shipped thru poor bowling at the start of the India 1st innings. A lead of 265/275 that is difficult historically. Sticking my neck out I think India will win. But hey IMO only, anything can happen !

This all depends on the conditions tomorrow. England's top order have failed once again in this match win or lose.....The whole set up from management through to personnel needs looking at. If we win this match I really think they should be radical for the last one. Edited by Stirlingsays (01 Sep 2018 7.17pm)

Whoops just when we though the DRS was as perfect as you could wish for. The third umpire thinks that Kohli has bat on ball but its not, its bat on pad, and he survives, not out lbw. Surely the DRS camera angles would show the third umpire that? Gripping stuff haven't a clue myself altho most think England.

Don't see that too often. India 184. England win by 60 runs despite batting like s***.

A big moment for Joe Root captaining England to a series win against the number one side India. Getting the hang of it better and made a lot of good calls here. Not least putting himself and Stokes back in the slip cordon and posting a third man.
