I think that if Nair finds form, India could make something out of it: Bumrah's comeback timing was great, and he should help knock off those that remain.
Well.. partnership is broken now. Jamie Smith has departed for 51, with Mohammed Siraj picking up his first wicket of the match. Now he has figures of 64/1. Looks like India will be able to wrap up the England innings at max 370-380. Brydon Carse is still there, but he has been joined by Jofra Archer at the other end. And they have Shoaib Bashir (who is neither good with bat or ball) to come next. With the wicket of Smith, England has lost the psychological advantage they enjoyed till now.

Not a bad collection... England lost Smith's wicket just after the lunch break. If Smith could have added another 20-30 runs to the scoreboard, it would have been easier for England to collect 400+.
Brydon Carse is unbeaten on 54 runs. England's total is now 380/9. Adding another 20 runs to the scoreboard is a tough task for Carse and Bashir. Even if Carse can play well, we cannot expect much from Bashir's batting. Even then, it is a big collection considering the condition of the pitch. After England lost 7 wickets for 271 runs, we do not expect England's batsmen to collect another 110+ on the scoreboard.
