England lost two wickets for just 44 runs. Two experienced batsmen like Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett failed to do well. Even then, at the end of the day, England managed to score 251 runs for the loss of 4 wickets. Joe Root is unbeaten on 99 runs. Stokes also scored 39 runs.
These two batsmen will definitely have to do well if they want to score big tomorrow. I especially have high expectations from Root. If England wants to dominate the match, they will definitely have to score a 450+. We have seen in the last two matches that Indian batsmen are in excellent form now. So if England cannot score big, India will win this match too.
It's quite difficult for any batter to played a recovery innings after two back to back early departure at such critical game but the way j.root absorb pressure at pressure mounting situation and then make a comeback was phenomenal, Now officially they scored 250+ before innings stump and still two big names were on crease and still smith has to go, so definitely before thier innings end I do believe they will scored may be 500 if root and stokes Atleast build 150+ more partnership and then it will be enough to keep Indian under pressure. Anyway it's too early to predict the winning side but honestly it will be interesting fight to watch as both will try thier best to get lead first.
