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

It's only day 3, not sure why they have to score quickly. There's no major threat of rain on day 3 and 4. Just play your natural game and don't get bogged down. That should be enough.

Kaif n Nehra anaylsing pandya batting- their is talent, problem is outside off stump which every batsman have....but a big innings from him is around the corner

Yes it did. Jokes aside this was the first decent start in long time.

We got decent starts in first innings of 1st test & both innings in this test. It's only when our batters need to capitalise & score big, they have threw it away after getting settled.

I think India will get 400 plus lead easy

but would love/want to see a Pant super quick 50 plus to really demoralise their attack

 

also once game goes beyond 400, England will reduce bowling Anderson, Stokes and Broad to preserve them for next matches

so more overs from Rashid

[Turning_track]

Till now VK & Chepu haven't taken any risks, running has been sensible too.

[Wall2018]

Anderson is bowling well today

[Austin 3:!6]

Maaro BC Kohli Maaro

Not convinced Pujara is long term option at no3, he had a life and he looks so suspect even after getting a start.

[GolGappe]

Pujara has gone into shell.

[Adi BB]

Anderson has increased his speed by 5k today ,probably understands the need to bowl quick on this pitch 

[Adi BB]

Broken finger for bairstow?

[Turning_track]

Bairstow gone off the field after withering with pain. 

[Nikola]

Who will keep if our keeper gets injured? VK? (he has done before for over i guess)

[Sachinism]

Very cautious start to the day. But there's enough time in the game. Better to wear England down

[Sachinism]

This forced change for England, could work out in their favour

[Nikhil_cric]

Good cricket by us. Keep wearing them down. Runs will come just by occupying the crease. 

[G_B_]

these two need to step it up a little bit....

 

the older ball will reserve. Make hay while the sun shines

[Laaloo]

Pujara needs to rotate strike at least.
