Their spinners have certainly turned the game excuse the pun.

Shows how things can change in a day.

Just try to nudge the lead over 200 if we can and then I think there’s more than a fighting chance of England winning this still. India did collapse chasing a similar total in the first test so pressure could do strange things to them.

Utter sh1te. I really believed that England would set India 250+

Apart from Crawley they were like rabbits in headlights.

Massively disappointed after getting into a strong position.

India 5 down now. The bowling has been magnificent from England. Just wish they had another 30-40 runs to play with and they’d probably be favourites then. As it is India will likely get over the line but great to see them made to work for it.

I can't describe how utterly disappointed I am with that 2nd innings collapse. The game was there for the taking. Too many players not turning up regularly enough. The only thing this series will be remembered for is the arrival of Bashir.

That 6th wicket partnership of India's was the way forward. Excellent control and when the finishing line appeared two sixes smashed. I'm done with Bazball. Only works against the weaker sides. Rant over.

First ball of the day I caught was Kuldeep getting Crawley...stomached it until the horror show of what 6 wickets in 6 overs then gave up :dk:

Thank goodness it’s all over!

We seemed to get worse as the series went or they improved.

I wonder if McCallum and Stokes will do the right thing. That's the most humiliating series defeat since the Windies black-washes of the 70s.

Really? Compared to the 5-0 Ashes defeat under Cook this one doesn’t touch the sides in comparison or losing to the current Windies under Root? Firstly India are just a better squad certainly with better depth but England were in most of the tests and when it came time to press the advantage they didn’t. That’s the frustration but I don’t think it’s a resigning or sacking matter.

As in change the tactics occasionally against better sides particularly away from home.

They won’t leave - been seen as very positive since coming in .
