If you are following the match you will 100% agree with me, it can only happen in test cricket the way driving team changes is awesome, one good session can put you right on top. Viru have setted up game very nicely for Indian Team as well as for England, right now there are more chances of getting out a result (unless Dravid decides that he wants to save this match - don;t get me wrong I love Dravid, but I don;t appreciate his current [did I say current it should last 2 years] form) and its very poised for both sides. Peraphs a little bit more in favor of English team as they managed to get Sehwag out on Day-4, if India wins this match then Sehwag’s last session on Day-4 will be the key of winning and if England wins no doubth Sehwag’s wicket and then Panesar and/or Swann have to make sure that they take 3-4 top order wickets. I hate ICC for keeping Day-5 on a Monday - I don’t understand the logic same thing happened around Aussie tour. Humm they may be thinking that Day-5 is going to be more or less a formality but I am sure that is not the case for most of the good matches and this match is sure a great match in either cases - If Engalnd wins that will bost there moral after 5-0 ODI team as well as they can be a bit relaxed and pat themselves for keeping a good Test record. If India wins it will be another big feather on MS Dhoni’s Cap that his team can fight from the dark woods and came back from the behind to hit England hard.
If you ask me, I might put my money on England because Day-5 pitch looks pathetic to Bat; Tendulkar, Dravid and Laxman are going to be the key with there experience on different freaky tracks. Ten good odd overs to Yuvi can also make a different. Overall its going to be great day for Test Cricket. I am going to tune Cricinfo all day
