Much closer than I thought that'd be after the first 2 days. Got into a really strong position today but let it go to waste but India will no doubt be worried about future 4th inning chases.

Our journeyman seam attack must be the laughing stock of world cricket. Anderson and Robinson are just too SLOW to worry world-class test batsman. Dropping Wood was odd.

Compare that to the likes of Australia, S Africa, and even New Zealand. They have actual pace in their seam attacks. Drives me nuts.

I know Archer and Stone etc. are injured, as English fast bowlers always seem to be. What I don't get it how Oz maintains 90mph seamers that never seam to get injured. We just don't have enough of an emphasis on pace on our green swinging pitches.

Going to be an interesting final innings. England need to strike quick and early to get on top. Think if India get to 50 without loss they'll finish it with many wickets in hand on the confidence.
