On the third day today, England did not lose any wickets in the first session, meaning England is in a very good position. At the end of the first session, England are trailing by 26 runs and if England can bat for two more sessions today, they will definitely give England a lead of around 300 runs. If England give up a lead of more than 250 runs, then it will definitely be very tough for India to draw the match after batting for two days with wickets intact.
England are very well positioned in this match before the lunch on day 03. However soon after lunch they lost Ollie Pope and Harry Brook. Are we going to see another twist in this match ?
Joe Root is still there on 76 runs and he along with Ben Stokes (who just came to bat), had to bat well so that England can get at least 150 lead. Remember that the longer the English batsmen can bat in this innings, the chances for them to lose become minimal. They can win this match too if they can bowl India out quickly in the 2nd innings.
