England five down but with the Indians as poor as they are any lead of 70-100 is going to be enough.

Only seen the last hour but hard to see how 15 wickets have gone down.

Poor batting I reckon but there's rain now which helps India. A lead of 200 plus should be enough

They've got enough now.
Zero chance will make more than 200.

They arent going to declare obviously but as far as a decisive lead is concerned it's job done.
Weather stays clear it's over tomorrow.

India just can't bat in these conditions.
The only hope they have is pujara dropping anchor and kohli playing around him.
Whatever the weather I don't see them making 150.

Woakes had made batting look easy.
India's fielders aren't exactly fast.

Bairstow has gone into his shell as he has approached the 100 but that's fair enough.
Proper test innings he has played, pleasure to watch.
Can play till seven tonight, id be declaring and get them in for 5 or 6 overs tonight.

No, the umpires now make that decision but it should result in an overnight declaration

Seems a bit stupid if the batting team are happy, they have floodlights why stop? They play t20 deep into the night.
Yes it's a white ball I know.

Willis ripping the fuck out of kohli and the Indian team selection.
Hard to disagree with him.
Some very odd choices.
