England are doing pretty well so far. Woakes, Stokes, and Dawson have each picked up a wicket and slowed India down. This is not an easy pitch like the first 2 tests, KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal batted well. It’s a bit frustrating for India as both set batters got out after getting good starts. In a must-win game, you can’t afford to throw away wickets like that. Losing Jaiswal and Rahul early is a big setback, especially when they were looking comfortable. India needs someone to step up now and build a big partnership to stay in the game.

India must win this match if they don't want to lose the series. And they must score big on this pitch. India must score at least 450+. Even if they can score 450+, it is difficult to say whether India can take the lead. I have seen teams score high many times on this Manchester pitch.

India lost KL Rahul's wicket for 94 runs. And the team lost their third wicket for 140 runs. At the moment, India's total is 190 runs. There are two experienced batsmen like Sai Sudarsan and Rishab Pant at the crease.

Sai Sudarsan is unbeaten on 40 runs. Sai Sudarsan has made it to the squad today in place of Karun Nair. And is batting quite responsibly. If he can bat decently today, Sai SUdarsan will be in the squad in the last match as well.
