So much so that Dennis Lillee kicked the photo.
England now 3 - 62 chasing 521. India doing really well this first session.
4 - 62 now
Buttler dropped by Pant. Indian seamers really bowling good lines. England have dropped 15 catches thus far in this Test series. Some absolute sodas behind the wicket too.
If nothing else Kohli has exorcised his English demons.
England take it to a fifth with India needing just the one wicket. Meanwhileā¦

How can they charge people to attend? Unbelievable!
Very poor decision by the ECB.
No suprise, they are all about making money
Well done to India, they have played great all test
Kohli averaging 73 this series.
India with a 27 run lead.
Pujara 134* and Moeen 5-60 odd
Poms none for not many in the second dig.
Very evenly poised game. Big first session coming up in a couple of hours.
Will be good seeing how the poms go this innings, their top order is nearly as bad as ours
Cook nicked one to slip off Bumrah. Took 3 grabs to finally get it.
Moeen in at 3, has looked shaky.
Got to 2-92 and right on lunch, Shami got Jennings lbw for 36.
First ball after lunch, Bairstow gets the leg peg knocked out of the ground.
Root there on 30 and Stokes just in.
I know their light on for quality bats, but the poms have such an unbalanced side. Playing with two wicket keepers and four all rounder types, with Stokes the only genuine one
Yep itās a joke. By all reports there are some young guys making stacks of runs in county cricket but they arenāt getting picked
Cook is done
Jennings is trash
Root is a number 4 not a number 3
Buttler in the form of his life and Curran 36* probably have got the Poms in a strong position in the game. That pitch is dry and I suspect will be tough chasing anything north of 250 with Moeen and Rashid to bowl on it as it breaks up further. But yes, England have some real concerns with the openers, who bats at 3, and who takes the gloves out of Bairstow and Buttler, although I think itās down to injury as to why Bairstow isnāt keeping wicket in this Test.
Curran has done well as a hitting no 8.
78 & 36*
And i think he did well before he got dropped for Stokes
Sorry for a minute there I thought I was in the setterfeild thread
