Here's Richard A: "It's an awesome pitch. Turning a lot, but still chances for batsmen to score. If Rahul can find the right balance attack vs defence, this is going to go close to the end."

"Really impressed with Hartley's bowling in the 2nd innings....seems like he learnt his lessons from the 1st innings." He's having a terrific match all round, Ryan

"If India were chasing 150 or 300 they would have gone all guns blazing," reckons Pranav. "It's the middling target of 231 which has made them circumspect."
