Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]
It looks difficult for England to win this game because they already have lost 3 wickets and still a whole day left in the test. To win the game England still need 536 more runs on last day. Akash Deep who has played just 7 tests for has done a good job in this test by picking 4 wickets in first innings and 2 wickets before close of play on day 4. Shubman Gill is now the second batsmen after Australian Allan Border to score more then 150 runs in both innings of a test. The batting performance of Shubman Gill is extraordinary in both test matches and this will help Gill in silencing the people who are criticising him.
Well, we know that England cannot win this game but is there another twist in this game? The match is delayed by rain and it seems that England has been waiting for this interruption to kill as much time as possible. India has to get the remaining seven wickets if they are to win this match. The rain was quite heavy sometime before but not it is reduced to drizzling. Another thing that comes to my notice is that Edgbaston's drainage system is very well built so as soon as the rain completely stops, we shall see the play.
