The last match of the Test series between England and India is being played in which both the teams are playing evenly and this last match is very interesting because both have victory one match each. This is the first day of this match in which the England batsmen have played 83 overs in an attempt to play first in which they have played well and at this time the match has been stopped and the again will be played tomorrow but the efforts and hard work of England so far are quite good. But I think India has become weak because they have taken only 4 wickets and if they cannot weaken England soon then the target of the first innings will become quite difficult for them. At this time no complete result is known in the match but according to the prediction England is playing well and the decision for India will be that they can somehow control England and make them tough. If they do not try hard then this match and the series will be a defeat for them.
It's a five match test series and two more games to follow after this test match. English team scored 251 runs at the end of day 1 and it's surprising because England usually don't score runs with 3 rpo even in test cricket. Root is just one run away from his 37th test hundred. It looks that English team will score 350 runs in first innings and it will be more ideal if they can score 400 runs. Indian bowlers didn't gave away too many runs on first day but they also were not able to pick wickets.
At the end of the first day's play, England managed to score 251 runs for the loss of four wickets against India. I would say that this is definitely a good total and today England might bat a little more aggressively because their run rate should increase a little. If England can score another 250 plus runs before the end of today, then England's first innings total will cross 500 runs and that is good enough. Along with scoring runs, England also have to be careful about the time because if they take extra time to increase their first innings total, then the result of this match can go to a draw because India is also a good team and their batting lineup is quite strong. So India will not want to lag behind England, as a result of which time will pass but the total of four innings of both the teams will not be over.
If England can set 500 then they can be said to have a good collection in this match. Joe Root's batting may have raised that hope, but there is a doubt whether he will be sustainable or not. He adapted to the pitch on the first day but there is no guarantee whether it will be sustainable on the second day. That is why it is difficult to expect England to score 500 runs. On the other hand, India is doing quite well now and there is a high possibility of winning the match as there is confidence among the players. Shubman Gill has been performing well consistently, if he can maintain this consistency and bat, then India may win the match.
