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.
In this ongoing Test match against India England finished for day at 251 runs for loss of 4 wickets. This came after difficult start where both experienced batsmen Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett were out cheaply. Luckily Joe Root played exceptionally well and is currently not out on 99 runs while Ben Stokes also contributed valuable 39 runs. For England to have strong chance of winning both Root and Stokes need to score much more runs tomorrow especially Root. Given that Indian batsmen have been in excellent form in recent matches England really needs to aim for total of over 400 runs to put enough pressure on India and prevent them from winning this match as well.
