    Pressure on both of them then.

    If the Black Caps gel they’re capable of downing either team convincingly, I just hope the dizzying heights don’t get to them.

    Shit, is it that cut and dried?

    The way England have been playing in subcontinent conditions for nigh on 2 months now makes me think we'll be playing them at Lords. Oh well, wonder what the count back criteria will be this time? Number of lions on a shirt?

    See the graphic I posted earlier. India now need to win the series 2-1 or 3-1 to qualify for the final.

    England still needs to win 2 of the last 3 tests.

    Yes. A drawn series or England winning no more than 2 tests (1-0, 2-0 or 2-1) helps them.

    .....and that’s the team I think the BCs will worry about most

    As of today we play the poms.

    .... and that is one hell of a win. Winning the toss helps, but Root set that win up iwth his massive double. After that, you just wait for the pitch to do what 5 day pitches do in India.

    I'll google the last time India lost at home, but it would be years I reckon

    Root is in pretty scary good form and the Wisden FB page is absolutely flogging itself as you’d imagine. He’s regained his spot in the big four.

    But we have Kane, and on the whole we’re better than them man for man....

    Kohli gone for a duck and England on top atm - he nearly went for a review after getting clean bowled but luckily the ump did it for him.

    Rohit playing well, but India 100-3 on a first day pitch playing as good as it's going to and Kohli gone.

    Surprised to see Anderson not playing but Stone already in the wickets.

    Rohit playing really well and has had good support from Rahane.

    Root brings himself on to try and stem the flow (wish Kane would do that from time to time...)

    India 225-3

    So who would you rather see us play in the final, England India or Oz? India for me. Although I'd have the least problem with us losing to the Poms
