Where there is Virat Kohli there is hope. There are not many causes for Indian optimism as they chase a target of 444 but one of them ended the day unbeaten on 44, and for as long as he remains so will their belief. At stumps Mohammed Shami certainly seemed surprisingly relaxed as he smiled and declared: “We will win the match tomorrow.”
They are 164 for 3 overnight, with Kohli batting alongside Ajinkya Rahane, and must still score 280 if they are to win, on a ground where no Test side has ever successfully chased more than 262.
