[Arthur Crabtree]

Rashid justifying selection. India's last two only have one fifty between them in Tests ad are likely to be blocking, so might be an end open here.

not sure they be blocking.
yadav won't be blocking, Shami might though.
suspect it depends on what Ashwin does but reckon they will go for quick runs now.

Rashid been the best spinner on show so far in this test match not sure many predicted that with the way he bowled in Bangladesh.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Let's see if Rashid can justify his reputation against the tail.

78 runs left

pitch is starting to go now, probably dhaka or Chittagong day 1 now.
every run scored now will put so much pressure on England now.

[Dr Cricket]

Yadav gone played his part in trying to get quick runs.

Another wicket for Rashid. Looks like a handy lead if the pitch is starting to misbehave. Not the innings I'd expect v spin from an Indian batter.

To heck with this let's have a bowl says Umesh.

:sleep

starting to get interesting now, since england are the only team that can lose on a pitch starting to turn and bounce.

not sure england got enough time to make the lead look handy though.
they likely to have 4 session to bat and will need to bat at least 2 and half session to save the test, not sure india can lose 10 wicket in a session to lose a game.

[Dr Cricket]

Cook dropped a catch, england looked rattled at the moment.

[hopeforthebest]

How many wickets will England have lost at stumps today? Cook drops one maybe he doesn't look forward to batting.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Still a better match situation than was expected. India have been big favourites from the first ball to the one just bowled. But given their disadvantage, England are still in the game in the second half of day four.
