"Slow over rate from India. must be furious with themselves for the time wasting..." snorts James, adding to the needle

The O Train is here with a delivery of bantz: "Re: Mustafa Moudi… don't forget that England can claim a 'moral victory' at any time, no matter what the result."

"Tie is Impossible here," hoots Mustafa Moudi. "If the scores are level again, India wins by Boundary Count :P"

"England will set a target of 220 for India. You heard it here first." They'd probably take that right now, Swapnil

I won't mind 120

Even in challenging conditions, they counterattacked and made England Win. It is not like that they were simply throwing wickets in the name of aggressive play.

"I had predicted 83/4. Not sure if it was posted." Your moment has arrived, Akshay Baijal

"I don't think English fans need to be concerned," murmurs Shashank. "Their actual batting starts now"

"Please keep the Bazball thing aside, now it is proper test cricket with all three possibilities of both sides. Win or lose or draw." Don't rule out the tie, SAKharade. Especially after the first innings...

"Is the bounce more variable as the game has progressed?" That's usually the case, Sanjay. Even more so when the surface has been baked by unusually high temperatures

Akashdeep what you did
