That he does, we've finally got rid of one wall and another has followed directly behind him. Arse.

I know England are ahead of the over rate but these time wasting tactics are a bit pants!!

502/6 at tea and Pujara is left just short of a double century over tea, having been just short of his century overnight. I hope he doesn't have too many issues with nerves.
We'll have to wait and see how incompetently England bat against a bit of spin, but realistically this pitch should let us get somewhere near this score if we don't bat like dicks.

I reckon if these two bat for an hour more India might bat right on and for a bit tomorrow to see if this breaks up a bit.

All 6 wickets to spin...I think that's telling you something England selectors! Fair play to Pujara for knocking up a double ton...none of England's pace bowlers look like they will take a wicket in the series let alone this match!
Big work for the batsman when India rack up 650!

All seven wickets to spin, including one for KP. Bit embarrassing that.

We'll be fine. Cook, Trott and Compton to bat long and KP to blitz us past the follow.
It's rubbish really from the Indian authorities. Either quicken the pitch up (they'll never do that) or at least have a deck that turns square so anything happens. It's dreary really, watching India try and nick an early test and then just prepare pancake after pancake and settle for 1-0.
No wonder they're so pump away from the sub continent.

A wicket! For a seam bowler! C'est une miracle!

They finally declare on 521/8...Big response from England needed with the bat! I'm feeling big runs for Cook/KP!

A massive 70 mins batting for England.
Will a pitch that has been as flat as a pancake for the last 1.5 days all of a sudden become a land mine?
The one thing they can't afford is to lose wickets to Zaheer/Yadav before the spinners come into the attack

If that happens on this thing, they should all get on a plane on and be publically flogged! |

The difference is, though, India had to face only one quality frontline spinner plus a couple of pie chuckers and England have to face non-stop top quality spin
