If India don't collapse on their own, how long would they want to bat here ?

[javier26]

Just a hypothetical question for now. While its most likely that India would get All Out , however since the pitch is flat and only new ball assists the bowlers so if a couple of Indian Batsmen do get set then how long do you expect India to bat before they declare ? 

 

What would be the maximum target that India would like to set here and the number of overs/sessions they would spare for their bowlers to take 10 England wickets on this pitch ? 

 

There's a very slim possibility of this happening but it can't be ruled out 100%.

2.5 session, leave 20 overs for england in last session. 

Provided we bat with 3+ RR

as you wrote, it's a very slim possibility. It won't happen. But if it did, a target of 350-370 is enough IMO.

Around 100-110 overs to bowl in 4th innings gives enough time for a late push with the second new ball. Kohli/Shastri don't do risky sporting declarations, so they will target atleast 370 to put the game out of England's reach. For this scenario to materialize, MO needs to make another 200 runs in 70 overs tomorrow.

[Vijy]

I just hope that the OP won't get trolled if/when we lose last 7 wkts for 50 runs or something (in case that happens).

[asterix]

Depends upon how Rahane & Pant redeems themselves like Pujara… 50 runs each and a higher fifty from Kohli should do the job. Shardul might not click all the time.

[Jay]

Lmao 300. You guys serious. Have you seen the form of our batting? Mo averages 25. So we will be lucky to get 70 runs which btw is more thane nough anyway

rahane doesn't need to do anything so trivial as redeeming himself. he is too important to let small things like that bother him

[express bowling]

We should provide for the loss of 30 overs due to rain on Day 5.

 

And calculate accordingly.

and also account for slow over rates, which are definitely going to enter the equation

Can't say how he will do if he walks in when we are already in safe zone, but if situation becomes tricky early morning and his wicket has some price he will definitely fail.

375 in 1 day and 15-20 overs. Hopefully, bad light doesn't hurt later in the day because India aren't gonna bowl spinners with new bowl either.

[Norman]

Bat until tea and set them 370+ or thereabouts to win. 

 

But most likely we'll be bowled out for 370 odd and set them 280 .

We will get bowled out most likely. Anything close to 300 or over it..  I'll be happy.  Scoreboard pressure matters. 

Again expecting a quick 30 odd from Lord..  Just need Kohli & Jaddu to survive the first spells or at least don't lose more than 1 wicket. 

[SK_IH]

For me India is already in pole position, another 50 runs & Root will go defensive. Batting last on any kind of pitch is not easy, Umesh & Siraj will be main threats for England in 2nd innings.

To answer your question, any additional runs today is gold, India will definitely get bowled out today but England must already be fearful of target they need to get 2nd innings.

We already have enough 

anything else is like whisky on top of ganja

Doesnt matter. Even if they collapse, I think we will get another 70-80 runs
