Harish: "Remember that India's tail hasn't been in decent form in recent times so for those who keep telling that Gabba's histrionics can be repeated are misplaced as this English team will not give them that chance whatsoever so next 3 wickets are key to this Test match!!"

The last two balls - Wood hit the deck hard and the pitch took all the venom out of

"I don't remember India going all guns blazing in 4th innnings chase and have always been circumspect and building pressure for themselves.. this has lead to many defeats if we look at their records in last 6 years." I don't know about recently, Krithi - but they Sehwagged this particular chase against England

"What exactly is Axar doing in at 5 right now ? Struggling to understand his role. If he's going to play this defensively, one good ball will eventually get him." They've given him this brief before, Chin - helped get them over the line against in Mirpur a little while back

26.3

Rehan Ahmed to Axar, FOUR, 86.5kph, fuller in length, not a half-volley by any means. Axar gets forward and drills it past the bowler and straight of mid-off. Speeds away to the fence

26.5

Rehan Ahmed to Axar, FOUR, 84.1kph, overpitched outside off and Axar pounces. The left-hander plays a glorious drive off the front foot to beat mid-off to his right

26.6

Rehan Ahmed to Axar, FOUR, 85.1kph, third boundary of the over! Rehan Ahmed drops it short
