4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

Agreed, the longer the delay the more it gives our batters the hope to draw this test.
They're doing to us what we did to them in the 2nd Test. And so they should. This one's done.

Only thing that can make me watch this if Pant comes out to make a stonewalling classic for the ages.

The lead isn't big enough to hold for 5 sessions, so given how easily they're scoring now, its not worth declaring. If time becomes an issue, it'll be worth it not to have to bat as much last.

A pretty handy lead for England, they may not have to bat again or if they do they won't be chasing much.

India no longer a top 4 test team based on their showing in the past year.

Team is in big decline, especially the pace bowling

Before they used to have decent pacers like Ishant and Umesh who could move the ball around.

Batting now in decline, as the likes of Pujara, Rahane, Rohit and Kohli no longer there , who were good to great in their prime.

Whatever it takes!!!
Happy days for England but after 3 good test matches, I think day before yesterday the wheels came off for India and now its just like bitchslapping a broken side, especially after yesterday.

Concerning issues will be how a 2018 type series is now looking like a 2011 type tour. I suppose it ends up being like the 2014 series, all said and done.
