I doubt if this sort of a pitch will help India's cause to level the series 2-2. It's an awful cricket pitch with no pace and bounce at all. If England can get past 250, then it will be the Indian batsmen who will be under more pressure.

When the series started, England were considered sitting ducks, the proverbial underdogs who had little chance of surviving Indian spin. Now, midway through the four-match contest, Cook's team is in happier space and having aced India in Mumbai, the momentum is with them.
Amrit Mathur reports.
I have always wondered in my 17 years of sporting career as to what role the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has played in the development of sport in the country, apart from forwarding the entries of athletes for major competitions.
