They definitely got a bit excited probably because of the Stokes wicket.

Need to push on for a lead now
Even a 40 or 50 lead would be very helpful on this

If England bat like the 1st innings in the sense of time rather than score then 250 would be a big ask I think.
Havent got the stats to hand but would guess that less than 5 times has that been chased 4th dig in India

The rain, it raineth every day
A very good day for England, the pitch is only going to get worse. Don't want an annoying waggle of the tail though.

250 would be very tough on this pitch. I'd be fairly confident if they had to chase 200
That decision by the umpire stinks. You could see in real time it was either missing or just clipping leg stump.
….disappointed with the 1st innings lead, was hoping it would be around 3 figures.
3 wickets down now, lead is over 100 but feel it needs to be 250+.

What lead would India not fancy chasing down?
I think if we get around 200 and the pitch starts playing up it will be 50/50. But as eggs said, over 250 swings it well in our favour.

Root back to his usual self. Can't say I'm surprised.
Maybe Bairstow can do something for a change to give people something to crow about....

Stokes gets his second grubber of the match. Very unlucky.
