Very slow progress for India today.
England lose bairstow to injury.

England have pretty much given up.
Just waiting for the declaration.
Could be a long wait.

Batting looks a doddle at the minute.
Be totally different circumstances when England bat but no reason cook shouldn't drop anchor and the others play around him.

Bairstow apparently has a fractured finger.

Could make the defeat even quicker.

At least buttler might see action before the innings is all but over.

Don't expect a declaration till 12.30 tomorrow earliest. There's no point in putting England earlier

Longer they bat, the better for ashwin resting in the pavilion and in terms of wear to the pitch.

Oh dear.
Don't think Jennings should be at slip.
Kohli very lucky, probably deserved a bit.

Take the time out to make it impossible to score the best part of 600. Then crowd the bat and have Wednesday off!
