The Pakistan vs South Africa match is turning out to be a very interesting one. The advantage is still with Pakistan, as their opponents need another 245 runs with 9 wickets in hand. But the partnership between Aiden Markram and Rassie van der Dussen has made 92 runs, and has given hope to South Africa. And they have Faf du Plessis and Quiton de Kock to follow.. IMO, right now it is like 50/50. The match can swing either way.

South Africa needs 243 runs to win. They still have 9 wickets. If they can start tomorrow well, they will win the match. I think the team that plays well in the first session will win the match. But I am optimistic about South Africa's victory.

Scoring close to 400 runs in the last innings is an uphill task, especially for a team that has a fragile middle/lower order such as South Africa. Pakistani bowlers are in fine form and all it takes is just one good spell from either Hasan Ali or Shaheen Shah Afridi. I still believe that at this point Pakistan has a 90% chance of winning the match. The first session tomorrow morning is going to be very crucial. If the Pakistani bowlers can get one or two quick wickets, then South Africa is done and dusted for good.

^^ yeah and seems right way, still 180-190 overs left in this match. 120-130 overs should be enough to get 10 wickets during the last inning on the 4th-5th day pitch.

Lower order and tailenders can only delay the outcome, unless both Sunder- Ashwin produce some blinder.

......
England should use Archer-Bess combination for last spell.

Last pair who can play longer innings, if one wicket goes down then it won't take more than 5 overs to wrap the tail.So far Ashwin and Sundar is playing very patiently, but morning session will be more crucial to bat on so I don't think they can pass the 1st session. And even if ENG started with 250 runs lead they can simply score 150+ with fast scoring rate and ask their bowlers to do the remaining work because 4th and 5th day not going to be very easy for betting.

Windies won!!!!

Pakistan vs South Africa match is also going to 5th day chase.. incredible for test cricket.

Today we have really beauty of Test and cricket as Bangla tigers was in full control for first 4 days but in last 2 sessions West Indies won this match with the help of two debutants they done one off greatest job for cricket and West Indies 395 last days is never been easy but happen.
Pakistan vs South Africa still both have full chance to win this match most chances Visitors will win because Markram and Dussan solid so they need to stay for level the series and good win in Pakistan.
India vs England is also very interesting still all three results wide open any thing can happen if tail enders stay some more and frustrate England then most chances we are going to have draw otherwise England done very good job for third consective win in Asia.

I did not see that coming, West Indies pulling off an unexpected upset chasing a huge total in the 4th innings, two unknown players taking the West Indies home in difficult situation and Kyle Mayers was making his debut and went on to score a double century and that too in crucial situation, Bangladesh players also did not expect this coming and hence they declared the second innings.

Will be see another upset by South Africa as well. England also can win the match as they are in a really strong position. This will be the week of upsets Cheesy

.

Both Bangladesh and Pakistan have a habit of losing matches in which they have an advantage. No one really expected West Indies to win this match, as they needed close to 400 runs in the second innings. But after taking three quick wickets, the Bangladeshi bowlers allowed the situation to slip out of their hand. The captain also showed lack of maturity. All credit to Kyle Mayers and Nkrumah Bonner though.. they saved West Indies from complete humiliation.

England dominated the match and it is great to see India getting dominated from visiting teams and the bowlers were able to pick 6 wickets and now the tail end players are in the crease, Sundar and Ashwin can only delay the duration of the match and they are playing a patient innings and they still trail by 345 runs but i doubt England will enforce the follow on because the bowlers are tired and they might play a couple of session if that situation arises.

I think rain interference is the only way India can survive this one since the match could possibly end up as a draw. This is a dominating performance by England in the first test in every single aspect.

You cannot expect rain in Chennai during this period, so that is out of the way Grin

. Rishabh Pant is counter attacking and playing as if he is playing the shorter format with a strike rate of 143. He is looking to disrupt the line and length of Leach and if he gets out in this period it will be disaster but if he gets through and score a big hundred it will be great.

Still 16 wickets (6 + 10) are left in the match for Indian and being a number one team, someone should step up and save this ship.

If India bats longer then the match will end up in a draw, it all depends upon how much runs India will be able to put on the board in the first innings. India needs to build partnership and they can save the match.

The first target for the india team is to save the follow-on and the exact target for that is 378. India still have to make around 170+ runs to avoid it. For this to happen the rest of the batsmen need to support Pant who is looking good at 85 not out. If he could stay and avoid the follow-on, india could think of saving this match.

Horrible batting performance so far by the Indian team. Kohli is struggling these days just like Smith. 4 wickets gone for just 80+ runs when chasing a target like 550+ paints a bad picture for India.

Indian team always need a wake up call before any big series so consider this blessing in disguise. I am positive that Rohit/Kohli both going to get big runs soon and Team will come back hard at England.

Draw would be too bad for this series, England played excellent cricket and they deserve to win if they are able to maintain the momentum.

578 is all they have managed to get and believe me i think this is enough for the victory.

Virat Kohli is back in the pavilion and wonderful bowling by Bess, with the top three removed it is a possibility that India will struggle to avoid the follow on.

James Anderson is getting the reverse swing and Dom Bess is getting purchase from the wicket and it looks like the pitch is showing its true colors and India will be struggling.

Ajinkya Rahane is gone, splendid catch by Joe Root. India is struggling now.

Won't be easy to draw the match unless someone from the Indian team play the innings like Joe Root played for England. Indians are already two wickets down with only 59 on the board.

Pujara and Rahane can be the one who can play long innings which is important of they want to draw this match.Rohit Sharma again failed even in the subcontinent ground?! that is hard to accept. Still 60 overs are left in today's game, can Indian batsmen play throughout the day and give some fighting spirit to their visitors.

England is cruising along nicely and they are just 33 runs away from the psychologically important 600 mark. Once again shows how crucial the toss is. If India had won the toss, then they could have easily piled up 600-700 runs and put England under pressure here. But the luck favored England, and now India need ~400 runs just to avoid the follow on. Right now there are only two possibilities for this match - a boring draw, or a win for England.

Edit: 600 level just got a bit more difficult for England. Dom Bess, who had played so well till now is out LBW to Bumrah.

578 is all they have managed to get and believe me i think this is enough for the victory.

It is high time that Kohli should himself step down like Tendulkar did in the past. No doubt he is good batsmen but he has lot of issues as a captain. India will try to draw this match.

it will be interesting to see if India lose the series, what will happen with Kohli remaining captain.

Even if England manage to draw the series, voices against Kohli are going to be very loud but i doubt if management want to change him at all and Virat is in no mood of stepping down as captain by himself despite failures.
