Soft, Bashir gave him a good anchor, should have got another 10 runs.

Come on Jimmy a couple of sixes please
Easy to criticise the Foakes knock. There was some logic to it, didn't quite come off though. Runs more vital than time here.
Since Ashwin was out this time yesterday, it couldn't really have gone any worse for England could it.
That is unique way to get out
5 for Ashwin..
192 to get.. just get through the day without losing too many wickets.

Agreed, it’s not his game but he could have been busier.
Well, that was pretty abysmal from England.
Need to get Jaiswal and another tonight to have any chance, slim as it would be.

Do England start with the fast bowlers or spinners right away ??
I feel his problem unlike with a jurel or stokes was he isn't a big hitter and can't clear the boundary on demand if he gets the ball in his arc which makes being busy or scoring a lot harder.
Congrats India on winning the series
England have this , I reckon. A 225+ lead would have been more definitive, but I think this is enough.
Come on man, I can see logic to playing time but you have to try & score some runs at least. It was always going to end the way it did
110-3 -> 145 all out is frustrating. Good bowling and captaincy on their end.
Plenty of 2s available…
Whatever happens from here on … Bairstow should be dropped. Also I know he got a good 50 but Robinson‘s not what was needed for this match. I also don’t like the guy much.
Another good position thrown away, annoying.
Not easy as it seems on a turning track with bowlers who are ripping it. Only time 2 was available was when he hit straight down the ground a couple of times.
I don’t think anyone was expecting him to go out swinging, but he should have been able to manipulate the ball into the gaps for two occasionally.
The fact that we're opening the bowling with Joe Root shows how well we've done to keep it this close.
I wouldn’t say it’s thrown away. India’s attack is very good and this is a tricky pitch.
India have chased scores above 150 in 4th innings a whopping 1 time out of 21 attempts since 2014.
6-8 runs + the few singles he turned down off Bashir, psychologically getting a 200 run lead would have been big.
Jaiswal’s 50 to 100 conversion rate 
Is this real? That's some stat
Which would have been very satisfactory.
This is some shocking bowling
Not sure about the field all up to Rohit.
That's the stat they showed on TV, 14 losses 6 draws 1 win
Surely Jimmy and Bashir are your go to late on here? See if there’s anything there for the pacer with the cracks and your best bowler in the first dig?
The commentator summed it up nicely - Indian just have better spinners. We needed at least 50 more runs to have a sniff.
Depends on our top order batsmen to deliver the required total.
Bad start for England. Not hit their lengths at all.
Rough start this. Length and line all over the place. So full that it’s easy to get to the pitch of the ball.
Pretty much. 2nd and mostly likely this test decided by the Indian attack (+ Jaiswal).
Going down leg for sure.
Bairstow trying to chase that down ... oof..
Experience is definitely showing. That’s why you want Jimmy up first.
That's enough Tom, time to come off
29 knocked off.. all easy too.. free runs.. no pressure..
poor from England
