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.
The way England is batting suggests that the entire pitch is batting and the batsmen are batting in a T20 style. Ben Duckett is unbeaten on 84 off 90 balls while Zak Crawley is out on 84. The two batsmen put on a 166-run partnership from the start, with England batting aggressively. India's batting average in this Test is that India could not score the score they needed to win. The way England are batting aggressively, if England can bat for a full day except today, then England will definitely win this match too. England are currently trailing by 175 runs and there are about 18 overs left to play today and if they can bat the way they are batting then I would definitely say England will go very close to the lead. And if England can take a 200-run lead before being all out then I would definitely say England will win this fourth Test match.
