They currently lead by 581 freaking runs in session 3 of day 4. Captain Shubman Gill is there on 150 after making 269 in the first inning. Bro, declare already AND give yourself enough time to win the game especially since you’re already 0-1 down in the series. They are really fearing that England will chase down 600 on a fifth day pitch? Or Gil just trying to become the first man to score 250+ in both innings of a test match? NONSENSE OOOOOOH

They might still win this game but the fact is they declared 100 runs late. 475 was enough

575 was enough

I suspect India wanted a new enough ball for tomorrow morning also. Maybe 15 overs today and it's still new'sh

Having 600, India can go all out in attack

India made the Englishmen mentally fatigue by scoring all those runs in both innings, it seems to have worked
