England have made a sporting declaration and this match is in for a cracker last day. As you say, not on Sky - sheet.

The Poms need to get lucky. Very lucky. And quickly.

Two full sessions to go. The Indians may well run down this target by tea.

They could have held out to the fifth day.
Change over of innings after the start of play - 10 overs lost.
Very sporting I'd say, and unfortunately not very common these days.
