Looks like the pitch is aiding the batsmen since Akashdeep is actually trolling the English bowlers now which itself says a lot. Jaiswal should reach his century as long as the opponents keep gifting him life after life.
If India scores above 350 on this track, they would hold the advantage. If not, advantage England. This is the most crucial day of this test and series. Excited!
The way Akash Deep has performed like a top-order batsman suggests that the pitch may have been helpful for batting. But later, Shubman Gill and Karun Nair did not perform very well, which suggests that the pitch bowling was helpful. However, Yashasvi Jaiswal is still unbeaten with a century and India's total is currently 254 runs but has taken a lead of 231 runs and if Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ravindra Jadeja can build a big partnership then India's total will definitely go above 350 runs.
