“Very surprised England haven’t declared yet & why aren’t they trying to get 400 asap? England batted to long in the 1st innings too & now letting the game drift & showing no urgency at all. Surely they are better of bowling now than wasting overs not scoring any runs,” tweeted Warne. 

“England’s mindset is let’s not lose this test match – rather than, what’s the best way to win this test match and how many overs could we need ! This batting on the decision is now putting a lot of pressure on England’s bowlers and particularly their spinners !” he additional added.

Former England captain Michael Vaughan defended England’s resolution saying, “If they Win they will have played it well … if they draw it will affect them for the rest of the Series … I still think they will win on this pitch.”
But Warne replied saying, “So you think @root66 is doing the right thing and not declaring ? Need more runs ? Surely should be bowling now….”

England batted for 190.1 overs within the first innings which is probably the most a workforce has batted in opposition to India in 1st innings since 2004 to attain 578 runs, batting throughout seven classes.
