Did not realise it but this is the biggest (132000) stadium in the world. The overhead shots with the housing* so close is quite a sight.

Given it’s not full for this game when would it ever be full?
What else do they play over there that would attract that many people?

On both the ABC Grandstand podcast and the Wisden podcast it was mentioned that around 85,000 tickets have been given out to local families and students in an attempt to fill the stadium

At the end of the day every day of every Test in this series has had very poor crowds.
Ticket prices for this test range from $5.50 to $46.10

They talk about the Indians as being mad cricket lovers but a country of over a billion people can’t fill a stadium on at least one day of a test series.

Always possible, we have 3 blokes that would fit the no.11 role well in the tail.

Was mentioned during the first test that you can only buy tickets to all 5 days and many simply can’t attend more than 1 day so the seats stay empty. Not sure why they cant transfer the tickets to friends or rellies though

Haven't the pace bowlers just come on and released the pressure. Will be interesting if Yadav gets another over.

Well batted Usi. A well deserved soft drink awaits.
Holding the innings together. Three good first innings knocks in a row.
