What odds on an innings win for India?

I made a silly mistake. Went and made a coffee, read the mail. Came back and we are two down. Root needs to dig in...

If you think it’s a farce, why are you watching it?
It’s very, very difficult. But the team that manage the conditions the best, will win.
It’s still a competition, and the best team (in the conditions) will win.
It’s not like it’s down to luck. Is it?

Unplayable pitch, but same for both teams. Wait till they come visit a wet Headingley. Then we can show them what’s fair!

Assuming India bat again, I’m guessing Root’ll be opening the bowling.

It's like a 20/20 game, nothing like test cricket. I would argue a huge amount of it is down to luck, especially the third umpire as we saw yesterday.

It is test cricket but it's nothing like a test wicket.

We need a big Root-Stokes partnership here, tall order though?

''Bat. Bowl. Dettol.'' has to be up there in the naff slogan awards.

I can't see how they can decide bat or pad first. I'll say not out.

Benefit of the doubt always used to go to the batsman - I assume that’s still the case, although a lot of decisions in this series have been poor, even with the review system.
And correct me if I’m wrong, but weren’t umpires in Test matches supposed to be neutral?
