It is almost beyond all belief that England are a small way ahead of India after three days of play in the Second Test.
A first innings lead was unimaginable as India's batsmen hammered England on Day One and were then held to a relatively poor total of 364 on Day Two by England's seamers at their best. Another fivefer for old man Jimmy Anderson!
A world class, undefeated 180 by skipper, Joe Root, helped England take command and earn a first innings lead of 27 on Day Three
Two days remain with everything to play for.
Cricket at its finest - the only real concern is how heavily England batting has to rely on their captain to hold an innings together,
