I've got to be honest I wasn't watching until I saw the comment from PWA so I turned it on expecting to Woakes and Ali in trying desperately to get us in touch, finding we had Bairstow and Pope building an innings was a pleasant surprise.

227-7 for a lead of 36 at Tea.
I reckon another 50-60 would be a good score, big final session though, if we're still batting by the end of the day I'd say we're in a strong position. Surface isn't terrible but does look like one where you're never 'in' which is why a lot of people keep getting out when they should be looking to move on.

Woakesy is going to win this match with ball and bat.

Woakes with a 50 and then gets out, so Jimmy gets his 99th not out in Tests
Incorrectly announced at the ground as his 100th due to a TMS cock up

Fantastic recovery from 62-5 to end up with a lead of 99. We need to start better with the ball than we did in the first innings though.

Great from Woakes and Pope. Not a brilliant start to the bowling.

That’s a rough period of play. It was flat, but we seemed flat. Still India are behind and we need to come out all guns blazing tomorrow.

Still rather be in our position than theirs. Been a great series, really evenly balanced apart from the last test.

If we can have them 2-3 down by the time they reach parity then we're in control. If they get there without losing any wickets then the match starts to look in the balance or maybe even tilt to them. The first 2 days seeing so many wickets means there's plenty of time so a draw is highly unlikely, wouldn't want to be chasing more than 150-160 or a day 4/5 pitch though.

Hmmm this looks potentially tricky.

I think Robinson needs to work on his fitness a bit. At the pace he bowls he shouldn’t have to drop down a couple of mph when he plays back to back Tests. Below 80/81 is too slow.

We need a clatter of wickets here.
