With Pant out of the picture, it totally seems like England will win this series now in my opinion. Really didn't like the decision to drop Nitish in favor of Shardul though choosing Sai over Nair was a good one.

400+ won't be enough against this English side. 450+ would be much better though I don't see India scoring those many runs with only a couple of proper batsmen remaining. Advantage England.

Official announcement already out about Rishabh Pant he is not going to stand behind the wickets and Dhruv Jurel is going to do this duty but if India needed then Rishabh Pant can come out for batting but after first hour play I am feeling India can touch 400 figures which could be good for them.

Ravindra Jadeja gone early but now Shardul Thakur and Washington Sunder doing their duty while England take new ball but still fail to have another wicket which is frustrating for them in these conditions 44 runs partnership making things interesting. From here 50 to 60 more runs make good difference for team moral which is down due to Rishabh Pant injury run rate is also good which keeping all things interesting, but England is desperate for having wickets which are not coming.
