Will India avoid the follow on?

[singhprakash72]

Doesn't matter, either ways England will bat after India to put some score beyond India's reach. Key is can 6 batsman theory will save India ?

Any rain predicted for next 3 days? Time for Kohli/Tailunt to step up

All depends on the first session.one of our batsmen has to score a big 100 ,hopefully Pujara

We should try and break SriLanka's record of 952

england's c team bowling is better than kuruvilla,chauhan,,kulkarni,,prasad .....no wonder lanka scored 952 against them

[Yoda-esque]

No, we will fold for 300 thereabouts by the 4 th day morning

England hold all the aces. Hopefully India's tail will chip in as they have done in the last 2 test matches. Hopefully, they will keep the scorecard ticking.

I doubt it, this is a good pitch to bat on but there is something for the fast bowlers. If you are consistent as a fast bowler and patient i think you will get wickets on this pitch. India did not do that. Looking at how Jimmy Anderson bowled today and the support he got from Broad, India need to play really well to get somewhere close to 400. I think we will probably score somewhere around 325-340. I hope i am proved wrong though! We need Virat Pujara and Rahane to bat big. High time Virat scored some runs, he is a good enough player to score a 100 on this pitch so lets just hope he gets going tomorrow.

No chance- India will not avoid follow on but England will not enforce it

[vijay50]

I think with scoreboard pressure and better bowling of Anderson and Broad, India will fold around 300.

Depends on the deficit. If it is over 250, which is quite possible, they might enforce it.

this is the time for Pujara and Kohli to step up and save this match,they have to forget about the score and try to bat out the whole day tomorrow.

[GolGappe]

this is the time for Pujara and Kohli to step up and save this match' date='they have to forget about the score and try to bat out the whole day tomorrow.[/quote'] I disagree. Keep the scoreboard ticking. This test match is only 2 days old. If India tries to go into shell, they will be all out for 250 by the end of day tomorrow as Cook can ruthlessly attack India and English bowlers have their tails up against an ultra-defensive approach. These guys should play their natural game. Pujara bats for three hours, survives torrid spells, and yet only has 30-40 runs in the bank. Need to be bit more authoritative or pressure will chew them up.

Noooooooo!!

[tweaker]

England have good backup bowlers in Woakes & Jordan who are fresh & can bowl 140 kmph,so we are certain to get follow on

[rkt.india]

seems unlikely

[Midfielder]

If India plays all day tomorrow the game is over.

[Cricket_Hacker]

we will win this match.Repeat of adelaide 2003

[game_changerr]

impossible....our batting will collapse....

[Straight Drive]

England may struggle to pick wickets with old ball in case they don't pick enough with the new one.
