tough luck son. well batted.
Lions - will Sachin retire after this series??
========================
he will do if he chases down 200 to win
Would a dive have saved him though?
I'm diving in if i'm on 9 let alone 99!
Haha, Bale or Suarez would have made their ground!
Great comeback from England. Since the 1st test we seem to have battled back from every tough situation we have faced.

=====================
Ha ha I was just about to post a similar joke
Good days cricket, had a feeling we'd get wickets late in the day as happened yesterday as well.
Really glad we suffocated the run rate, I'm confident the worst result we'll get from this game is a draw now as it should be easy to bat early tomorrow.
Finally a bit of fight from India. At least they showed they have some stomach for the gritty side of the game.
Good fight back towards the end by England, hopefully we can knock over the last two for not much and they bat India out of the game on day four/five.
Ashwin will be a tough wicket but now with India down to the tail Enders England we hope will keep some sort of lead
It's a flat pitch and a slow one so if England build a good lead going into day 5 then it will be a terrific end to one of the hardest places to win
So after all that, was it India's day ?
I guess it was. With 4 wickets falling in the space of an hour, to me that shows how special that 5th wicket partnership must have been.
evens i'd say....ultimately we will win it
im not so sure personally.
i'd say india are in with much more of a shout than they were at close last night ?
let's hope for another cracking day's play tomorrow
btw, fair play to england pulling that out of the bag. pretty heroic. even 10 years ago there would have been no chance of england fighting back like that imo.
This thread is about India 's effort to avoid going down 1-3 at home, having been whitewashed previous time India faced England.
Since u were the one who brought the Indo-Pak topiic, let me conclude by adding that the overall is overwhelmingly in our favour including in real cricket which is test cricket where Pakistan leads comfortably.
Strange day, strange match and i think this one is far from over,. England still have to finish India off and then have to bat well, no idea what the pitch is going to do and clearly it is hard to score Hoping for Cook and the rest to grind out a decent lead but I think a draw is more likely for England than a win and if India have a good day they could put themselves in the driving seat.
Really looking forward to tomorrow, its what test cricket is all about all results are possible and players are going to have to show real grit.

Thats my point, this thread about India salvaging some pride atleast after 1-6.
Yeah should be good neon,I can't see England scoring fast enough to put pressure on the Indian second innings, so more likely we will try to bat them out of the game. Gonna be pretty tense stuff.
Pakistan till I die (U10140) .........
Just imagine how good Pakistans records would be if they didn't get involved with the Book-makers over the last 20 years....

Same theory could be applied to India&SouthAfrica
As for the ongoing match which this Article is all about, England players have to go for 3-1, it cant end as 2-1.Either its 3-1 or 2-2
not liking all the criticism of this morning's play on the bbc match thread.
it's a period where the teams are toying with each other a little. get over it - it aint 20/20
The tal had to bat lke 10/10 in the first hour but they batted like 200/200.Still a lot of work remaining for England and if they go defensively , it will work against them.
