England scored 387 runs against India for the loss of 10 wickets in the first innings, while Team India scored 387 runs for the loss of 10 wickets at the end of their first innings. There are only 2 days left in the game and whether the result will actually come in favor of either team during this time is also a matter of concern. Now, if the equation comes on the fourth and fifth days and both the teams have to complete 2 innings on these two days, then the chances of the match going in favor of either team are reduced. However, if a team can all out the other team in a short time, then either team can win that match. It is not clear at the moment which way the result of the game will go, maybe if any team completes their second innings, then it may be understood whether the result is going in their favor or whether the result is a draw.
Right now, the game is so interesting. England was batting first and secured the lead of 387 runs, and then the Indian team made the same score and then got all out, so England is on batting and having the lead of 22 runs already.
I think this time England should not take it easy and try to make a partnership as long as they can and shouldn't declare the innings until they get all out. Let's see Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley are batting and I am hoping they will make a good partnership and can England will convert this game into a win ?
Things aren't good for England at this stage of the game. Ben Duckett got out by Muhammad Siraj. Now Pope is on strike and hoping that at least now Ollie Pope and Zak Crawley will make a partnership, but still England have an amazing middle order including Jo Root, and Harry Brook.
In the last innings, Zak got out early and the top order were struggling to maintain the partnership. then Joe Root scored a century, we want this performance once again and England should target to score over 300+ because as we have seen Indian team reached to good scores in their innings.
