Test Match Update.

Cricket, eh? - Always so very unpredictable.
Yesterday morning, I was anticipating a first innings lead of 120+ for England but then Jadeja came to the fore with a superb 86 not out to rescue India.
The 40 lead England had managed looked relatively insignificant but some fine batting from Cook and Root - against that superb but tiring Indian attack - took England to a dominating lead of 154 with eight wickets intact as they march into day four.
(Cook has now scored over a hundred runs in the match.)
Surely, India would not be able to chase down a target much over 330, I would imagine - especially on a fifth day wicket.
England must aim to bat until 5pm before declaring the innings closed. 
Surely, the England attack could then see England home.
BUT, knowing how poor the England batting can be, I wonder how many would even be expecting the home side to post a target of more than 280 for the final day tomorrow.
We shall see!
