Really gripping Test, this. England have fought well, but I suspect young Joe was guilty of complacency when the ninth Indian wicket went down, thought it was going to be all over in minutes. Should have tightened the grip and gone hunting for the last wicket, not plodded along until India were nearly at parity.
Big day tomorrow, Kohli's laid down the standard for Root to follow.

Very finely balanced going into the fourth (and effectively final) day. India have the advantage making it through the last hour without further loss, and Kohli still at the crease. Get Virat early doors tomorrow, it's England's to lose. If he's still there come noon, the game's gone.

Couldn't have had a better 1000th Test if you'd scripted it. Riveting from beginning to end.

Abject from England today not willing to grind it out no technique against the swinging ball not interested in doing the hard work that comes with test match batting.
India 102-1 lead by 270
