Yes, England is good position in this test match because their current score is 252 runs by just loss of 2 wickets in first inning of match and trail by 106 runs. Day third first session is started and england will score lead today. England openers Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley scored a one hundred and fifty plus runs partnership. England openior Ben Duckett missed his well deserved century by 6 runs short but assisted his team to scored a good lead in the first inning. Ollie Pope and Joe Root is playing now this partnerships cross fifty run. Ollie Pope is playing at 30 runs while Joe Root is playing at 25 runs not out. India needs to picked some quick wickets in first session of day three if they want to win this test match.
The Indian bowlers have started the third day well. England have scored 305 runs in 68 overs. England have not lost any wickets on the third day yet. Ollie Pope is at the crease with 62 runs and Joe Root is at 45 runs. England are trailing India by just 53 runs. So it can be easily assumed that England is going to take a huge lead in the first innings.
If England is able to take a lead of 150+ then I would say that India has no chance of winning this match. They will have to try to draw the match in the second innings. Indian batsmen are not playing as well as expected. Now we are not seeing good bowling from Indian bowlers either. Even though experienced bowlers like Bhumrah, Siraj and Jadeja are in the squad, India is not able to give any advantage.
