Because there are no reasons, what reasons do you need?

India's fielding overall has crapped the bed.

Bats marvellously with the tail, no need to move him
Stokes does as well though and Smith is just so much better right now. Wouldn't move him any higher than that.

What is the point of setting 600 if you're gonna have this staggered cordon ****? Such a defensive mindset.
Hopefull Gill realizes soon what kind of captain he wants to be. The early signs are fairly middling and reactive.

As much as Foakes was a tremendous keeper, he absolutely could not bat with tailenders. Used to get bogged down, then they or he would get out.

Do you think it makes a difference here? India have batted and bowled much better than England

England's bowling was crap but I think if they had batted first they'd batted better much better in the absence of scoreboard pressure. Totally different game from then on. Really need to find better bowlers though.

This is the first time we've seen Bazball England bat for a draw.
They have never drawn a game where they have batted in the 4th innings. All but one of their losses have been in games that ended by Day 4. The one game they lost chasing on Day 5 was the Stokes 155 Ashes game.

It's a very attacking field here for Akash.

Yeah the attack is a worry. Woakes probably a bit unlucky with his first innings figures. I like Carse but don’t think you can have him and Tongue in the team at the same time. Atkinson a big miss. Archer and Wood make a difference sure, but it’s basically a bonus if you have either of them
ffs Woakes. @Red_Ink_Squid ban yourself

Also, India's bowlers don't have the filip of almost 600 runs to play with.
As for your last point, who knows. Maybe one for after this test is over.
Oh, and Woakes is gone, so that shouldn't take very long now.

Yeah he brought the third slip in after a Woakes edge went through the gap.
Prasidh's bumper is a weapon to be feared.

I think he's done fine. That plan with there Prasidh worked perfectly.
