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
England's victory looks a bit tough at this stage of the match. After the first innings, it looked like there wouldn't be much runs on this pitch and we might get a result by the start of the fourth day. But India are going to prove that wrong. After the first innings, the Indian batsmen have made a great comeback in the second innings and are fighting for big totals. They have already reached a stage where they are capable of giving the opposition a tough time. But they are fighting for more.
It is getting tougher every day. It will be tougher when England also make a great comeback and start chasing India's target well. I will be looking especially at Joe Root's batting. I predict that the series is going to be drawn.
