Even india lost their four wickets and as well the Rishabh pant get retired by hurt I don't think they can't able to score over the four hundred run.
Because there have been many times when the Indian team has lost four or five wickets and still finished the innings with a huge score. Although I was expecting a better performance from Shubman Gill, he got out for just 12 runs. Even after that, Even after that, I hope that the Indian team can cross the 400-run mark with their next 4 wickets.

If Rishab Pant had not been injured, it would not have been difficult for India to score 400 runs. Pant managed to score 37 runs on the scoreboard before retiring hurt. It is unfortunate for India that an experienced batsman like Pant retired hurt.

Jadeja and Shardul Thakur are at the crease. Jadeja is very skillful. And in the past matches we have seen better performances from Jadeja. Even then it is quite hard to score 400 + runs. If india does not lose wickets in the beginning of the day , Jadeja and Thakur can stay at the crease for a long time , then India has a chance of scoring 400 runs. But if India loses wickets in the beginning of the day, then maybe it will not be possible for India to score 400 runs.

If India’s tailenders had managed to score a few more runs, it could have really strengthened their position in the match. Still, putting 358 on the board isn’t a bad effort. But it’s hard to call this a match-winning total. England has a very strong batting lineup, even their number 11 can bat. So, 358 feels like a middling score. If just two English batsmen manage to score centuries and get a small lead, that alone could put lot of pressure on India in the second innings. To make things harder, India is struggling with injuries. Rishabh Pant, in particular, may not be able to replicate his first-innings heroics due to the injury he picked up.
