India's total is 378 runs for the loss of 7 wickets. The team is trailing by only 9 runs. Now Washington Sundar and Akash Deep are at the crease. Although they are not very experienced batsmen, they have the ability to collect at least 50+ runs. India can probably take a decent lead of 60-70 runs

India didn't get any lead, in fact both teams ended up making the same exact score of 387 runs. Now we have 180 overs left in the game's play and unless England started to lose quicks wickets and all out under 250, thats the only way we can have the result in this match.

If, on the other hand, England do not lose wickets they will take way too long to declare (to be on the safe side) and therefore there won't be enough time for them to all out India and also India wouldn't be having time to make 300+ runs in 50 to 60 overs. That's how i foresee this match and the probabinbilty of a draw is way higher than any team winning this match.
