The first innings for India and England test match ended in 387 for both. Which basically means, the first inning doesn't have any effect on the game at all except for the time it took. The time the two innings took is 3 full days which leaves just 2 more days for the rest of the innings.  Now England has just started its batting on second innings and they'll start the fourth day with no loss and almost no runs. This could mean it could move towards a draw unless one of them loses their wickets quick. England would want to make some 400+ runs tomorrow and the first session on the last day before declaring to try to make India all out.

England team was under a lot of pressure in the first match, and India team started well but later they could not perform well. However, England team is very close to the danger limit, if England team continues to perform like this, then they will definitely face a lot of pressure in this match. Test match mainly depends on the opening batsman pair, if they can make a partnership for a long time and score more runs, then of course the next batsmen can perform well.
If any team is under pressure from the beginning, then the top order attacking batsmen are definitely likely to get out quickly. The victory of England team depends on Duckett and Zak Crawley, because if they can perform well by batting in the beginning, then they will definitely be able to perform well later.
