India are batting on too long here.

I don't really understand what they are doing.

It’s pretty obvious, no?

1) put the game out of reach. This England team is chasing crazy totals often
2) given that the old ball and tired bowlers have done nothing all game, give themselves 14-16 overs with the new ball tonight, then another stint with Deep and Siraj on fresh legs in the morning. They’ve got 2 very poor bowlers playing as all rounders and while Jadeja is good, barely a ball has turned.

It’s the perils of having a poor bowling unit that they have no faith in. Apparently this is the highest number of runs that any team has ever scored in the initial two tests of a series.
