50 could and should be an easy target for India if they get the last wicket, the way it’s going though, they could just as easily be bowled for 40 on this bad a wicket
 
There should be but we won't do it, because they don't want to lose out on 3 days of attendance.

Another bizarre innings from Foakes there, not sure what he thought was going to happen by sticking around.

I do wonder if that big 500+ innings for India really hit their psyche a fair bit.

Either way though, I don't think England have played anywhere near well enough across the 5 innings they've had. And yes Foakes is a fine example, he's stuck with the tail and he's prodding and poking about.

I said at the start, England are not going to be batting big or long on that pitch. They are not good enough. The two lads who've had a bit of success have been Stokes and Crawley who have at least tried to be positive in very challenging conditions. The rest of them plodding along at 2 rpo on a pitch they can't bat in seems very poor strategy for me.

I mean it's a hard wicket, but it's not impossible. There's been a lot of playing from the crease, and missing straight balls for me.
