How many runs can India defend in 4th inning?

[Trichromatic]

Pitch still looks good for batting. Bumrah might not be able to deliver magic spell all the time and England can wipe off 100 runs in no time.

 

What will be safe total for Indian team?

[R!TTER]

Safe accounting for all our dropped catches, missed stumpings, reviews et al? Probably 1250 or so 

[SandeepMotta]

Anything below 375 would be trouble.

[Frustrated]

We hv only 2 bowlers to save us.  Bumrah and Kuldeep.  Rest all are passengers.   Bumrah won't take 6 wicket haul in every inning.  He is a human afterall.    Ashwin is finished unfortunately.  (Fatso wasted an imp spot on Mukesh paanwala. Hopefully he is dropped next game)  Anything under 350 is chasable on this ground.   There are no demons on this pitch yet.

Logic says 400-500.

 

History says India already has enough to win.

400 should be enough for this England bazballers. They will die by the sword going for it.

India is 330 ahead which i think is more than enough. 

[nitinbwj]

450

[jf1gp_1]

I cant see England crossing 275, we also dont know if root will come out. 

[nitinbwj]

Need Bumrah's energy to win matches with ball. He is grinding out there blocking everything. Eng wouldn't mind one bit. 

[Vijy]

can't defend this score. needed 500+ to be on the safe side

Was the pitch devastating or were England poor? I watched for only a short time but besides the bounce being at times, the pitch was okay. I thought Stokes took the predictable blocking approach and failed to set a positive tone. The game had drifted away from England when he was batting with Foakes but still, he failed to put up even token resistance. I felt disappointed with this timid display. I appreciate good cricket even if it is by the opposition. In the first test, I thought our team would chase down the target and was feeling bad that Pope's magnificent knock would be in vain!
