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

Just bat until the umpires ask if you want to shake hands and walk off.

It will take something spectacular for India to lose this now. Great effort by their batters. Not sure what it says about England's attack.

Jaiswal used to until Kohli ran him out

Early days but Jaiswal shows Boycott-Mongia levels of promise as selfishness and entitlement go. I suspect we'll see him in a very different light ten years from now.

Pitch was docile for the most part and the pacers have been running on fumes. Can see a lot of missing bowlers next test.

Every Lancs home game this season has ended in a draw, so not a shock that this is still flat as **** on day 5. England not helped themselves with the 3 dropped chances but there really hasn't been much to work with. Fair play to India though, done very well to come back from 0/2!

Field is up and Jadeja is counterattacking. England won't mind this if it creates an opportunity. Dawson hasn't gotten much spin from the rough.

Desi crowd with the ever-creative 'Jeetega Bhai Jeetega' chant.

I hope both stay in for an hour and then actively go for their hundreds. Don't accept the handshakes.

 

[SkyBlue]

English commentators have been hyping up the rough like it's some unplayable part of the pitch

Hardly seen anyone troubled by it except Stokes and that's because he's just a terrible player of spin in general.

Someone on cricinfo:

Ganesh: "The eternal optimist in me still thinks India will manage a draw. Expect the performance of a lifetime from Gill here."

Eternal chutiya more like.

Ganesh might've been onto something there

[SkyBlue]

Awful footie skills from Woakes there. United should sign him

 

[cnerd123]

These two need to survive another hour at least here

outside off. Good decision Ahsan

 

[cnerd123]

That spun

Ahsan Raza has been exceptional this test match.

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Raza's been brilliant. Not just with his decision-making but has also intercepted at right times to nip gamesmanship in the bud. That's very rare from newer SC umps who seem overawed on the big stage.

Raza and Rod Tucker are a huge upgrade compared to Sharfodullah and Paul Reiffel

BC Cooray would've given that out
