Vineet : "Which team, you feel, will be happier at the end of Day 2?" India, but only just. They were cleaned up quickly and looked like they'd face a heavy deficit. It's been a heck of a comeback since then. You can read all about it in the day's report. On that note, it's goodbye for now.

Kaushik : "it's a pity this match won't be decided on the final session of the last day!" But there have been three games that've done that. This one promises to pack a lot of action though.

Vidya: "almost every game in this series had some needling at the end of the days that made this series what it is. THe Sudarshan-Duckett confrontation is one such thing "

7:16pm Chat on between Pope and Dharmasena with 15 minutes to go. Light-meters are out. Looks like Pope is being offered the option to bowl spin only but he won't take it. And since we're in overtime already, it'll be stumps. India will finish effectively 52 for 2. They lost another wicket, that of Sudharsan, close to stumps but this was on the back of some misbehaviour from the pitch. Rahul was beaten multiple times but the 28 balls he kept out were important. Tongue was unlucky not to have had his man earlier. Atkinson bowled well too. Jaiswal mixed his defence with boundaries. His drives were full-blooded, cuts were slashes and has seven fours and two sixes already. He was also dropped twice, once at deep fine leg by Dawson and once at slip by Brook which could be costly. With 15 wickets falling today, it's fair to say it's one dominated by the bowlers.

SamC: "Are we writing ...Sai out for the last time for a while?Do we really see him play more tests before playing a few more domestic games? " Fair question. He might have to with Sarfaraz also in the fray
