Can India win the Mumbai Test?

Can India win the Mumbai Test?
As I write this, Anil Kumble has walked back to the pavilion and India still need 292 runs to win.
Everything points towards an England win.
India was dismissed for 279 in the first innings when pressure was less compared to what is now. Can they now chase 313 successfully?
This morning England has succeeded in their initial plan. They sent back Kumble, who scored some runs in the first innings, in double quick time. That has brought skipper Rahul Dravid to the crease.
With Matthew Hoggard and Andrew Flintoff in full flow, Dravid and Wasim Jaffer will have torrid time out there.
Sachin Tendulkar is out of form and now, as we know, requires shoulder surgery in London. Virender Sehwag can bat only ant number seven, a real setback for India, since he was not on the field during England second innings for a long, long time.
Things never looked tougher for India.
In such circumstances, if India can hang on for a draw, even for the loss of nine wickets, it will be a victory.
Every ball that has been safely seen through, every over that has been played out without losing wickets should strengthen the spirit in the Indian dressing room, and it should be an encouraging thought for the next batsmen to come in.
Just fight it out guys.
