England need another 28 runs to win, with 5 wickets in hand. They should be proud of this win, as they managed to defeat one of the strongest teams in test cricket currently. Also, let's not forget the fact that they did this despite the absence of their strike bowlers. Mark Wood was not there in the squad, and so was Jofra Archer. But the younger England players rose to the occasion and gave strong support to the more experienced players. This was in sharp contrast to what happened with India, who were dependent on Bumrah and the top-order batsmen.

Np doubt England batsmen batted with consistency in both innings and didn't showed any sign of weakness. However i want to throw some light on the Indian bowlers in this innings.

Starting with Jasprit Bumrah who took five wickets in the first innings, he remained wicketless in this innings. Mohammed Siraj also took two wickets in the first innings but here he was unable to get a breakthrough. This suggests that Indian fast bowling had no impact in this match. Yes, two wickets each were taken by Prasidh Krishna and Shardul Thakur.
