Pomil Proch: "Tamil when Sai Sudharshan was batting, Hindi while Pant was at the pitch and Kannada now while Karun Nair is on the pitch. KL Rahul is a mini India in himself. "

KarthikK: "India shouldn't rush here, they need a minimum of 400-450 target, ENG team will definitely go for the runs. 80-90 overs with 400-450 target will be a tight contest. "

Only a select group of Indian batters have scored centuries in both innings of a Test match. The elite list includes

Vijay Hazare,

Sunil Gavaskar (three times),

Rahul Dravid (twice),

Virat Kohli, ( 115 & 141 in his debut test as captain)

Ajinkya Rahane,

Rohit Sharma,

Rishabh Pant..

The day began with the game in the balance and by Tea, India have claimed a firm grasp of proceedings. At 304-runs ahead, India can call the shots. The session saw a composed hundred from Rahul followed by a scintillating one from Pant - his second of the game. England looked a little bereft of ideas. They first resorted to the short ball tactic that bore no fruit and then they tried temping Pant into a false shot. That strategy finally paid off but it wasn't before Pant had sent the fielders on a leather hunt. Rahul remains unbeaten on 120 and Karun Nair has just got his first runs on return. India will look to accelerate

India not need declaration koz eng are Baz ball specialist, history witnessed them scored all impossible chase successfully. I wish those Cracks near off stump open up more on day 5, Jadeja Expert in Exploits those sorts of track but still we need support from Our seamer to take wickets at regular interval & our close in fielder to take catches

Anuj: "India need to make sure there is no collapse here. need to bat full session here and maybe even an hour tomorrow. England are more likely to lose if they have to survive 80 overs with no chance of victory rather than 110 overs to make 400. "

Jitender : "450 is safety for Ind."
