I turn the commentary on 20 minutes late because I am collecting Motörhead videos for a thread and 2 wickets have gone!

Tendulkar might still get his 100th century but I am beginning to doubt it!

And Laxman trots off. 56/4. Come on India. It's not that hard a pitch to bat on. England seemed to manage! :nono:

Raina departs and that is half of India's wickets for a paltry 87. Sachin Tendulkar is still there on 38 but running out of partners fast. The Indian tail hasn't done a lot of wagging this tour.

And Sachin is off as well. By far the Indian's top scorer with a meagre 40. This is no contest at all.

Unlucky Sachin, but it's looking as if England's 700+ was just about enough...

And another one gone and another one gone another one bites the dust!

Mishra is out, caught off Swann's bowling. 4 more to go. Let's wrap it up by tea lads. :tea:

Kumar caught. A spirited innings but it couldn't last. 205/8

Kumar makes his 50 - something for the Indians to (half-heartedly) cheer at last. 217/8

India still require more than they have scored in either innings to make England bat again!

All out for 244. England are officially the No. 1 test playing nation - until the Sith Ifricins slaughter the Aussies in a few month's time, at least!

If we make it 4-0, which seems likely the way India has been playing, I don't think SA can overtake us even after they thrash the
hapless Aussies, who will soon be competing with Bangladesh for bottom spot. :dance:
