I would enforce the follow on at this stage of the game. Death or glory. England need to win but it is dangerous with a 200 lead.

had so much time aswell, terrible effort

By:

Well India must come in if they follow on as to avoid an England win by an Innings they must set a total so that will enusre they have a chance to win by skittling England and people will have to cover that remote possibility. At least that is my logic. If England bat again they will set India a total, which, again in theorey can be chased down.

india wont be intersted in giving england another chance to bat if they follow on, theyre 1-0up they dont need to risk wickets scoring at a fast rate

cardshark When: 29 Jul 14 18:25

be amazed if they force the follow-on - yet we all know it's their best chance of winning

atherton would do well to stop misusing the reflexive pronoun before correcting mikey on his use of less and fewer.

True Grant but if they get bowled out?

I think Dhoni has read the pitch and that is why he played Rohit. Draw was only likely result just India Batted so poorly by giving their wickets away.

if they get bowled out then engerland win, exactly why cook should make them follow on!

By:

agree and cant see india batting as poor second inns

good idea - Jordan last over - just when you need to make someone play !

By:

GRANTCKING When: 29 Jul 14 18:31

they wont even have the option to make them follow on soon, donuts going to put on another 47 runs here

By:

GRANTCKING When: 29 Jul 14 18:31

ali needed to get that run out

By:

Sudoku_Junior When: 29 Jul 14 18:32

Personally think englands best chance to win is to not enforce the follow on.

By:

DStyle When: 29 Jul 14 18:32

england need some help to win that's for sure betfairchat.

wicket will need to get harder to bat on or india will have to give it away (or a bit of both).

2nd innings approach is a great opportunity for cook to show some aggressive intent with both the bat, his side's approach and any possible declaration.

By:

cardshark When: 29 Jul 14 18:33

2 balls wasted down leg

By:

GRANTCKING When: 29 Jul 14 18:33

jordan is shocking, problem is so is stokes

By:

cardshark When: 29 Jul 14 18:34

I think Jordan has been OK but not so good today and surprised Cook didn't give Jimmy the last over.

By:

DStyle When: 29 Jul 14 18:35

if only there were a player in england, with a better strike rate and average than broad or anderson in test cricket, who's performing well on the county circuit this summer, who england could call up.

By:

betfairchat When: 29 Jul 14 18:37

we expecting majour break up pitch 5th day

By:

Sudoku_Junior When: 29 Jul 14 18:37

180 overs left in this game and england at 11/10. Rather big if you ask me.

By:

betfairchat When: 29 Jul 14 18:40

i realy cant make my mind up which result to lump on now if **** was'nt captain id be on england but as always will leave it to late

By:

Steamship When: 29 Jul 14 18:48

I think if India survive until after lunch tomorrow with adding 50 runs then it's a draw. I cannot see England risking losing the game by scoring quick runs in their 2nd innings

By:

geordie1956 When: 29 Jul 14 19:23

I'll be surprised if England don't win this now unless there are any unforeseen stoppages - great bet @ 2.14

By:

topstertipster When: 29 Jul 14 19:53

Seems many other seem draw nailed on in here.but I agree Geordie

By:

topstertipster When: 29 Jul 14 19:55

Eng have to win this to stay in series.anders prob won't play next test and broad fitness will be questionable

Dhoni, is going to come out tomorrow morning and give it a whack, so where your 50 runs in a session and a bit comes from I just don't know. The big question would be, whether we would bat again, should we have the chance of enforcing the follow on. I reckon we will bat again. If England have a lead of say 210, they would probably bat for 45 overs and get another 220 runs. However this wicket is so flat, I cannot see the ball doing that much on Day 5 and some of the wickets, have fallen to loose shots. We have had 265.4 overs bowled in this game, with just 17 wickets falling, of which at least 4 of them, have been from either careless shots by the Indians or from England batsmen trying to increase the run rate, at the end of their innings. India would obviously bat out for a draw in the final innings. I don't think it would be right to ask Anderson and Broad to bowl straight away and allow them a breather.

you are assuming england can score at 5 an over with game not safe cook wont enforce bowlers too tired if lead about 200 then england will have 100 -105 overs to bowl india out big 1st hour tomoz after that could be pretty tame especially if india make it to lunch

By:

topstertipster When: 29 Jul 14 22:15

I think a good trading opportunity to back India here fell cook may be forced to dangle a carrot of say 400 in 4 sessions if India do bat on a longer than expected

By:

earlycrow When: 30 Jul 14 00:10

Will be very interesting to see how Cook can archive a draw from here, but if anyone can he's the the man
