Absolute cracking series going on up here between England & India. 1-1 going into the third test and it's been a proper roller coaster so far.
After both scoring 387 in their first innings, England were rattled out for 192 on day 4. So India to chase 193 which seems straight forwards. Nobody told the pitch though which is producing some unplayable deliveries, India left at 58/4. So we start today with India needing another 135 runs and England needing 6 wickets.
Odds show it's still advantage India, but given the pitch, impossible to tell. If England can nag another couple of wickets before drinks, then it's all on.

Joe Root only 29 runs behind Rahul Dravid ( 4th ) 30 behind Jacques Kallis ( 3rd ) and 119 behind Ricky Ponting ( 2nd )
With two tests still to play he SHOULD get that second spot pretty comfortably by the end of the English summer.
Yeah he does play more tests than others ( grumble, grumble KW ) but he still has to maintain the form and get the runs.
A modern legend of the game.
This has been a great series to keep an eye on. Couldn't be closer so far !!!
