Somewhere on this MB it was posted that Kohli said no invididual milestones under this new dispensation in Indian cricket. Now Nair saying that the declaration was delayed for him to get the triple. Individual feats are also important, but I am wondering if India can take 10 wickets on this road of a wicket. I dont put it beyond them though.

That's a big deficit.

They're already 3-0 in the series, unassailable, so the young man is rightfully allowed to get his 300.

In reply to Drapsey

In total agreement. I was just musing about the comment that individual milestones don't matter. With the spinners they have I wont put it past them to win. It will follow the script of the last few matches.

Yea, I was just wondering whether England can save the match with the Indian spinners.

Jadeja to Cook, OUT, caught at leg slip! It's always a dangerous area for Cook, with his urge to walk across his stumps. In the end, he's flapped his bat at the ball almost as an afterthought, and deflected a sharp edge into leg-slip's breadbasket. And that is the sixth time that Cook has fallen to Jadeja in this series, which I do believe equals the record ...

AN Cook c Rahul b Jadeja 49 (134b 4x4 0x6) SR: 36.56

Jadeja to Jennings, OUT, that's the breakthrough! Jennings on the move again, skipping down the pitch to disrupt the length, but he succeeds only in chipping a catch back to the bowler!

KK Jennings c & b Jadeja 54 (121b 7x4 0x6) SR: 44.62
