Dread and Hope at Perth

Day 3 at Perth, Australia need 348 runs to win and India need a further 8 wickets to bring up a victory.

Had it been 525 runs and 4 wickets, an Indian fan would have slept well. This one is a neither here nor there score, guaranteed to give him a sleepless night.

A day he will welcome with mixed emotions where he will be at once looking forward to the days play anticipating an Indian win and at the same time dread watching it fearing defeat. A 'thrishanka' swarg state.
All said and done an Indian fan knows that by day end the victor will be known, unfortunately by then he will have died a thousand deaths.

Will he be spared? Will India romp home?
