Pant and Rahul both played a brilliant innings. Rahul scored 100 runs and Pant scored a chiselled 74 runs. India lost two wickets in a row at 248 and 254 runs. But Rishab Pant was run out. This is annoying. There was no need to take such risks in a Test match.
Nitish Kumar and Jadeja are batting very carefully. India want to take the lead. The team has managed to score up to 311 runs. India is behind by 76 runs. If Jadeja, Nitish and Washington Sundar can bat a little better, India can take the lead. Only scoring 76 runs is not difficult. Jadeja is unbeaten on 37 and Nitsh is unbeaten on 23 runs
Two good partnerships make this match balanced for both teams Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja and Reddy have good day on pitch now Washington and Jadeja are having stable batting which can give physical edge to India because now this is important if they want to have advantage.
India trailing by 47 runs, but this deficit is going to be ended 50+ runs lead can make good difference because most chances this match is going to be had result and India is going to chase target which could be not easy on this slow pitch on last day next 15 to 20 overs are going to be important because both needed to have some runs which can make difference then giving batting to England for last few overs surely give chance of early breakthrough for India.
