Surprised how many people are predicting a draw here. Sadly I can’t see past India here today.

I’m thinking England are looking good value, but I may be far too optimistic.

Depends on wicket and conditions mate.

If like yesterday will be very difficult to get 10 wickets

Crowd sounds heavily in favour of India

This pitch shouldn’t have 10 wickets in it at all

Me neither.

I think the practical thing for England to do is play for the draw. I think being positive may open up the Indians’ chances too much, as miserable as that sounds.

Weird comment that like, Indians in the UK are one of the lowest demographics to be in receipt of benefits of any kind. Significantly lower than White British.

It possibly might mate put been positive sensible positive also opens up our chances of a win too.

I think if we lose a couple of wickets quickly then change mindset, but first mindset should be to win with all ten wickets in hand

Burns rotating strike nicely so far, Hameed getting bogged down already. Not too much of a worry though as first priority is not losing the game.

The first hour is critical for me that this de two stay in they are peppering poor Hameeds stumps like

Agree with this, don't think runs are that important in the first session. Get to lunch with these two still at the crease or just losing 1 and it helps our chances for both the win + the draw.

Think when you look at how Burns gets out a lot it’s when he tries to up his run rate.
If we can keep wickets india will search for them meaning more bad balls to put away well in theory I can see some gung ho cricket soon
