India is not batting in the second innings, India is batting in the first innings. So far India has collected 201 runs losing 3 wickets. KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant both batted brilliantly and put on a partnership of 96 runs. KL Rahul remains unbeaten on 79 and Rishabh Pant remains unbeaten on 47. This pair is important for India because if the pair does not last long then the pressure will be on the next batsmen. So KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant have to make their partnership bigger. However, India are trailing by 186 runs so far. I think if the Indian batsmen can bat patiently well then they can meet this target and lead. Now let's see how many runs India can score in the first innings.

The Indian team is batting well despite that unnecessary run out of Rishabh Pant. We don't often see a run-out in a test match. He was batting on 74 runs and had he not been run out, we would have seen him make his century. Earlier, KL Rahul was out after making his century. India bats deep down the order and hence they would not only make 387 runs but maybe make 40 to 50 more runs. Ravindra Jadeja and Nitish Kumar Reddy are looking set. However, the only concerning thing is that we are in the 3rd session of the third day and we may not have much time left in this test match to see both the 2nd innings of India and England.

The target given by the England batsmen is getting weaker because the Indian batsmen are scoring more runs to achieve their efforts and victory and so far they have lost 6 wickets due to which they will succeed in this first innings by completing 70 runs from the next 5
5 wickets. England should have done anything to control India and increase their chances of winning but they will not succeed in it in any way. If India scores more runs after completing the target, it will become difficult for England to win more. This series is getting more interesting and this last match will decide the victory of this series. Therefore, England should play with full effort in any way or else they will regret their defeat later. A strong team like India will never disappoint us because they seem to win every match and the same will happen in this match.
