If England were to lose in colossal fashion (and they won't), everyone would be predicting a complete thrashing only for England to outpace expectations. Now, everyone will be talking as if this will be England's first victory down under since 2010-11, but that could come down in a flash once Starc, Hazlewood, Boland, and Cummins run riot.

Pope and Brook are hideous against spin.
With stokes in whose even worse at the minute.

This is slightly contrived. A century is roughly same as a fiver. Only Botham has 10+ of both. I'm guessing there are plenty with 5+ of both.

Brook just trying to make sure he goes from Number 1 ranked batsman of recent times to now at least 3

Sundar. Picked up 4 wickets at Lord's. Bowled with drift and guile. Not brought on till the game is gone here. I think I've seen enough of Gill's captaincy.
Root is still out there, and Jamie Smith to come. England will have a lead of about 150-200. Anything less and India will have just a sniff.

Archer would be a 9 in plenty of sides over the years.
Would be an 8 in India's so defs plenty batting to come.
Would love for us to bat the rest of the day at least but I can see us offering up far too many opportunities and making this more of a one innings shootout than maybe it could be.

**** off Gill! I am sick of all the G named Indian cricketers who end up in a leadership position.
Gambhir, Gill, Gavaskar, Ganguly
(Ganguly is the egomaniac responsible for ending Shastri-Kohli).

Kohli-Shastri was overrated. Excellent fast bowling attack and home record, but they underachieved for their potential. Failed to win a test series in England, South Africa, and New Zealand. Won 2 in Australia, but the more remarkable of them was under Rahane.
