Pitch did ease out a bit in first session, England also did good in first session yesterday so this might be a reason Akash feasted on English bowlers, he was even defending like a proper batter.

Indian batsmen have also done well in the second session of day 3. The 5th, 6th and 7th (currently running) wicket partnership pair has added a decent run on the scoreboard. Now the match is pretty much in favour of India. They should take the lead to 350+ runs to put some pressure on England players. I'm wondering whether the pitch is turning in favour of batsmen as the time is passing by. England will have plenty of time to chase the target. So, everything will depend on the pitch condition.

Test matches should be competitive like this. Every Test match between India and England has been very competitive. Both have strong squads and both teams are performing well. India's total in the first innings was only 224 runs. In the second innings, India's total was 342 runs after losing 7 wickets. India has secured a lead of 319 runs. There are two experienced batsmen like Jadeja and Washington Sundar at the crease. So India can probably add another 50/60 runs on the scoreboard. Jadeja's total is now 45 and Washington Sundar's collection is 10. India is going to give a big target
