ENGLAND LEAD INDIA BY 152 RUNS, DAY 4, TEST #3
Despite losing two wickets late on the third day, there's little doubt that you'd rather want to be in England's camp at the moment than India's. With an overall lead of 150, Andrew Flintoff will feel fairly safe if he can stretch that to 350. India's top order has been struggling for form all season, and with the pitch likely to become more bowler friendly as the match wears on, it's difficult to see a target that stiff being chased down.

For Rahul Dravid, so far it hasn't quite been the memorable match he would have hoped his 100th Test would be. However, India aren't quite completely out of the match yet. The two quick wickets last evening should have given their camp some cheer, and another heap of wickets in the first session could still put India back in the reckoning. For England, it will be crucial to bat through the morning losing no more than two wickets. If they manage that, the rest of the day will almost surely see India on the defensive.
