most likely we could get bowled out or declare tomorrow w/ Eng batting in the final session 

Agree thats more likely. However if our batsmen do get flat conditions I kind of want them to bat as long as possible for their confidence and to tire English bowlers.

As long as there is no substantial chance of rain reducing play by more than a session, time is not an issue in this test

people who say india need to play fast are idiot .3 day still left and no chance of any rain in coming 3 days , perheps some clouds in or out . our first target should be lead cross over 400 in 1st session of 3 day not more than 4 wickits.

Another 150 runs we can put the match way beyond England's reach. India must score runs quicker. That is very very very vital.

good to see you being Optimistic.

Cheers, Hope now you trust my cricket predictions.

Exceptional day of cricket for India.

Could've put up more runs in the morning, but other than that, close to perfect

The point being its safer to keep the scoreboard ticking as opposed to trying to play slowly. 

 

Yes, defense has to be good but bad balls hav to be put away as you never know when a collapse is around the corner. 

 

This is one of those pitches which will allow teams to score fast. 

 

India lost last 4 wicket for 6 runs in the first innings. 

 

124-2 can easily turn into 150-6.

 

Better score as opposed to waiting.

Well done India!
