Four more sessions to bat. In normal circumstances you'd say a draw was impossible from here; 100 per session is scoring slowly these days. With England scoring 40 from 28 overs though. Few more hours of the same will do nicely.

It is the hope that kills you... would be great to see England get a draw from here but no one ever chases down 400+

Just looked up the most recent blockfest. SA batted for 143.1 overs at a run rate of 0.99 per over in the 4th innings against India last year. Still lost though.
Amazing bowling by Broad; there's not much in the pitch for fast bowlers.

the pitch seems to be playing up in certain places, also the roller has a role to play and I suspect the pitch will begin to play tricks again soon.

No chance of an England win at the current run rate.
Looks like Cook is gone now.

Got distracted by the review but on my first sentence because England can't win, India will have a chance pretty much till the end.
Cook survives twice on umpire's call. India have no reviews left for the next 33 overs.

That kept so low. Hard to see past an India victory with a few more balls like that

Yep, Hameed ended up in full squat trying to get to that, lol.
