[SK_IH]

Shukar 50 ki partnership hogayi. I hope we get a lead of around 100 somehow, will be match winning

[The Realist]

Rahane looks like a deer in the headlights

 

Body language of death

[Nikola]

Kohli looked in hurry to rotate strike and played poor shot. That was almost last over 

[GautiMaan]

So tentative..

[SK_IH]

Rahane is off strike lol

[Yoda-esque]

Rahane seemed like getting out any sec

[rollingstoned]

Such a **** time to get out. He was looking good for a big score.

Kohli had become ultra defensive in his last 15 min or so..  India should be happy.  A lead of 120 may just be enough I think. 

[Nikhil_cric]

This batting lineup simply cang afford the fifth bowler. We have to play 7 batsmen. Why do we need the 5th bowler when we have 2 spinners already. Both the last game and this one we are playing an extra bowler who has contributed zilch. 

[Gollum]

Umpiring has ruined the day. Out or not out, at least he should have looked from more angles to satisfy both sides.

120 seems like a long way off

This team is becoming awfully dependent on one batsmen to carry the innings

 

Embarrassing 

When the abject admission by the TM is we can't beat this England side without preparing a raging turner, that will naturally rub off on the entire team.

 

Look at that pitch, looking like a day 4-5 track already. Initiy I thought it will last the distance but it showed it's true character in the last session. Rohit's brilliance has kept us in the game

Saying the obvious doesn't make me a hater. Kohli has failed to groom a single youngster in last 6 years. Gill will gain nothing by such an obvious attempt to get closer to the captain and fit in. 

Yes he has not groomed anybody but obviously just being in his company won't make somebody play differently. Player himself might be doing something wrong.

Sheer incompetence. These same jokers have ruined matches in IPL and domestic cricket. Can't believe they are the best of the lot we have

 

[The Realist]

If Rahane does not score then needs to be dropped

 

Pujara ditto after the series

 

Push Gill into middle order and find a new opener

[cowboysfan]

i feel the bowlers have to once again contribute with the bat to win this game.

[SK_IH]

Let's be honest Virat was lucky to survive that dropped catch. He wasn't at his best at all.

[Sgattick10]

What's up with Gill? Praises got to his head kya 

[rollingstoned]

Why the whining about the umpiring when all of the decisions were ultimately right?
