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.

Two complete days left in this test and second innings is in progress. If England can play their typical bazball cricket today and can score 350 runs today then pressure will be on India to save the test. Both teams have strong batting lineup and it's difficult that any of the batting lineup will collapse. Both teams won't take any risk in this match because the series is 1-1 and a draw won't hurt any of them. India could have an edge if they have got some lead in first innings.

When England were batting in the second inning, Bumrah was being very hard on English players, he got only two wickets but the pressure he made that was absolutely amazing, he was giving the ball that was so hard to play and if batsmen would play then surely go for big shorts and then out meanwhile the ball would catch by the fielder.

However, right now India team need just 135 runs to win this match and I think this would not be a hard challenge for them. Akash Deep out already and today Pant will come on his place.
