Hemanth: "what is with India and these collapses"

Indian batting is not equipped to play the 2nd new ball.

Will not be a bad idea to declare now and have a shot at England before stumps

Andy: "i guess the way forward is to bring in Nitish and Washington in place of Shardul and Jadeja for the next match. You don't lose much in terms of bowling support but at least it's not game over when they are 5 wickets down." Don't think Jadeja's going

Nilesh: "What is Jadeda playing for? Batting as much as he can? Taking overs out of England? " Just batting time it seems like. It is puzzling though

Giggity: "Indian tail is not even as long as tongue "

Stokes and England warned for the 2nd time for taking too much time between overs.

Duhh: "India's target was likely to bowl not more than 30 mins tonight so as to have a new-ish ball tomorrow and fewer overs available for England's chase. They are almost there" As good a theory as any

Ram: "Bazball or not, england are not chasing this"
