It's the age old situation mate, score 500 and crowd the bat never fails. Had England won the toss and got 400+ they'd have had the same approach and the Indian batters would be under pressure

So England had Patel in the lineup as well as Swann,Are we saying England need three spinners in the next test matches to try and get some pride back ???

Had they batted first it would all have been different. The toss decided this match

110 - 0 So England should really be scoring around 500 on this pitch in this innings,So could escape with a draw,,

If England can get to 500 plus I've put them favourite for the win. Batting on the fifth day wont be easy

Prior's the closest England has to a genuine all rounder

in terms of being world class in two disciplines we have nobody, very good is pushing it.

most of them do one thing, or in boparas case, neither.

when are england going to realise that bowlers win matches.

you cant get 20 wickets it matters not how many runs you make.

bits and pieces cricketers like patel are a waste of time.
