Massive opportunity missed it feels in this test. From where India were, the drops and poor use of DRS, we really should have had them all out for under 250/300

Decent start to the reply, but we need to be ruthless here. We’ve got to get to up and around their score.

Stunning knock from Duckett. Platform is there, really need Root to contribute tomorrow. This is a brilliant series either way, so much ebb and flow.

Take a bow Ben Duckett, brilliant knock so far, also 207 off just 35 overs is incredible.

Would obviously like us to win all the remaining games, but a couple of draws would set up a winner-takes-all final test which would be a great proposition.

No chance of a draw. This England team doesn't even consider a draw as a possibility

Ashwin withdraws from the Test due to a family medical emergency.

We have folded far too easily today, 207-2 to 319 all out, a deficit of 126 runs.

That is a pretty shocking effort. Root and Bairstow are really delivering nothing this series.

Irrespective of styles etc to only get 300 when one player gets 150 is pretty bloody dreadful.

A bad day with the bat, India with a main bowler out as well.

Yep feels very like Lords in the Ashes. Our first innings efforts in this series have been pretty weak.
