So how to stop an innings defeat here

[Austin 3:!6]

England poised for a big score here. The way Root is going, I don't think they will settle any score below 500. We are well aware of how awful our batsmen are in swinging conditions and I expect Anderson-Broad to eat us alive. Loss is inevitable but how exactly we save an innings defeat here?

Let's see how Andu & Broady bowl and how we face them. There is some swing & seam, track isn't flat as some state here. History suggests we'll struggle unless we really up our game.

Six down. Ind to win by an innings.

These posters need to watch TNPL now and wait for next IPL where they can cheerlead their heroes. Leave test cricket for those that understand it.

Punches and counter punches keep happening. That's the beauty of test cricket.

The sycopanths need to take a leaf out of their hero thalaivas book who never gave a damn about test cricket.

Gabbar (love him to pieces, almost kind of viru 2.0) will counter attack and destroy england, mark my words.  Nice dry pitch and not much movement. I may be born in uk but like all indians, my dil is 100% indian.  Should have selected pant though.

a hint of slight movement from Clouderson will be bad for Dhawan..if not then England will feel deflated by the time he is done with them.
