The game has gone now. Sibley can just bat time.
Only chance they have is by leaving like 90 off the last 10 overs with Buttler in to have a swing. And that would involve having to get to about 150 with no more than 3 or 4 down.

Stokes in the team may have still given a bit of hope but as you say, it is gone now.
At one stage, England had 7 men on the boundary - Bumrah was batting! Captaincy has been very, very poor.

Draw is probably favourite at about 60%. India are about 35% England 5%. If India don't declare soon draw goes to 80% India 20%. We've given this away by not cleaning up the tail.
That has got to be up there for the worst session of cricket under Root's captaincy.
He couldn't possibly have got it more wrong tactically and it couldn't possibly have gone any worse. A collapse with the bat looks very possible now given the negativity.

He will probably open with Bairstow and Buttler and try and win in !
Be 0-2 in the first over..
Root's head is all over the place, he needs to get switched on for his batting.
Unless they declare you are probably right.

Far too defensive,why not attack with catchers round the bat? Poor captaincy and bowling.
