Indian bowlers are not able to bowl well on this pitch. England bowlers bowled quite well. Especially Ben Stokes and Archer bowled well. Stoker was able to take 5 wickets and Archer was able to take 3 wickets. But we are not seeing any better bowling from the two experienced Indian pace bowlers Siraj and Bhumrah. England lost their fifth wicket for 499 runs. And the team lost their sixth wicket for 515 runs. England team took a big lead of 158 runs. Probably England will declare the innings after securing a lead of 200+
Getting to a lead of 200 is easy from here as they already have the lead of 165 runs and with four wickets in hand they must be eyeing at 250+. England is in a very strong position in this match. Ben Stokes is retired hurt unfortunately for them but still England really enjoying the batting at Manchester, having crossed the 500 runs milestone and still batting.
Indian batting will be tested once again in this match too. With the pressure of the big lead by the England team, fear of losing not only the match but the series, will add too much pressure on the Indian batsmen, and I wonder how they will handle this situation.
