when are you not worried
I can't think of a better position for England all series than right now
England Tour of India
- Thread starter TheGame
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
I can't think of a better position for England all series than right now
Worried because seen this same old inability to finish off tail so many times over the years. The one time we did was actually India's first innings in that first test.
hope you are right
Enjoying this - Jurel and Kuldeep have been fantastic
40 more here would bring us back a bit
You are already back in it,we are paying the price for not having more than one express pacer fit. No Atkinson,Stone,Archer or Mahmood to rotate with Wood is really doing the damage.
Is it like 5am where you are and you’re in the dark punching a door
Well not quite in the dark
Deficit down to 60..
it's pretty even now.. slight edge for England on the scoreboard, but India will have the slight momentum..

That Robinson dropped catch sums it up. The bloke isn't fit.
Great knock from Jurel.
Great knock from Jurel.
Can we cancel the visa midway through the test?
Yep not fit to wear the England shirt,that 25 runs could end up really costing us. He was so lackadaisical about dropping it too
I'm not a fan of his at all. Had to hand it to him when he first came into the side as he bowled brilliantly but his character and performances since make him very hard to warm too.
I take everytime I said about stokes back, that was genius from him with umpire's call. Tucker clearly has made it his mission across both innings to show England umpire's call is a great thing.
Once again I called this . Pathetic way to throw the test away
Keep it in perspective you nutter.
Well played Jurel, atleast now we have hope, but Ashwin needs to come good here, if he is still shit we are going to lose this.
Deficit for 46.. unfortunate for Jurel.. played really well.
Hopefully the bowlers are up for it.

Good morning for India but the good news for England is a 46 run lead on this deck should.be very handy. And the pitch is playing well today.
Comfortable with anything 250+ to chase hopefully. Ideally 300.

I know but it’s just annoying that they seem to never be able to nail it completely. I don’t think England bowled badly today but seemed a bit flat overall
We don't have an attack suited to blitzing out a tail if they play well. The dropped catch was my only real complaint. Should have kept the lead to 70ish.
Totally flat and that's never acceptable,any idea on how we manage to keep fast bowlers fit
Lads we are in a top position to go 2-2 away in India you moaning gits.
See above for why we can't blitz a tail
I think it’s pretty even right now, probably 55-45 England but that’s about it
Yea I think @Utd heap is being a bit optimistic here.
On paper 55-45 England, and I think we can pull ahead here
You definitely can
From where England were at lunch on day 1, this is a great position to be in.
Being ahead in the 4th test is being in a top position to go 2-2 in India! That's all I meant.
I'd have it 60/40.
I'm not so optimistic, England are too prone to a collapse with an embarrassingly low score. I really hope I'm wrong but it's early, I'm tired and United got beat so I'm not in a positive place 
Ashwin opening was a no brainer but I'm surprised it's double spin. This will be a mad session.
Rohit has to be the worst Indian captain in recent times, grow a pair and put some fielders to stop the easy singles you Muppet.
Ashwin on fire!!! Finally
Pope missed a straight ball, terrible
Proper Indian test now
I actually thought Pope was a tad unlucky to be given out on the field there but maybe I didn't see it properly 
Rohit again doing his best to get root to settle down. Don't think the bowlers are good enough to beat both England and our captain at the same time.
I agree he pushed the field back too early but don't underestimate how tough it must be to set fields v England. Cummins also struggled all summer.
Root gone. India favourites now.
Not sure I agree...yet.
I thought that was out in real time, pitching outside on replay.. but DRS went 3 reds
