Really can't fathom what England's game plan is here. Do they think they can skittle India out and then enforce the follow-on? Or are they simply playing for a draw? Seems a massively negative tactic for a team in such a powerful position.
-
@james-woodroffe Archer's batting for England has been terrible. When he started for Sussex he was averaging more than 30 and was aiming to become a bowling all-rounder, but I guess you can't have everything.
-
@richard-futter I just popped out and came back with Bess and Leach in and thought the same thing. The only thing I can think is Leach is in ahead of Archer so maybe a burst tonight but time seems to be running out for the day.
I’m an idiot Archer has been and gone how good is my maths when it’s 8 down.
-
Can't understand why England haven't declared. Can't see any point in the tail enders prodding about and wasting precious time. Does Root seriously fear that they could lose from here?
-
Layed the draw at 1.7 this morning. As I said at the outset, I certainly don't rule out a draw here, but it will be astonishing if it doesn't trade at a considerably higher price in the next 3 days and 2 sessions. And, as Sir Geoffrey always says, never judge a pitch until both sides have batted on it.

-
Couldn’t help myself LAY BANG 1.12 ... 1.3-1.4 be nice . Could take a few sessions

Draw virtually at evens, which is pretty astonishing. Matches in India often start like this, then accelerate very quickly on days 4 and 5. It has been known for England to score 450 in the first Innings in India and still lose by an innings!
I noticed this when SA toured India in 2019. India were piling on 600 batting first draw price would get to 2 and India would win by an innings.

yeah looks like a day 5 market

Happy to LAY draw @3.1 seems nuts surely stalls even if ENG head towards favourites

Got back to scratch in that session thanks to Sibley and Root so back where we started tea day 1.

@richard-futter a little red at the moment but in a good spot in the PAK V SA test so will see what after lunch presents.

Should have held on to that draw lay. Doh. Still good to get a little green on the board though.
