India finished their batting, good effort from over all by most of the batters. So the score need to be chased down is 374 with one wicket less from Eng.

What are the chances of chasing down, I would say impossible because the record 4th inning chase in this venue is less than 300 which also happened about 70 years ago and around 220 is the successful chased score in the last 2 decades so it's India leveling the series and all they need is 9 wickets.

Ohhoo !!! India has scored a huge 396 runs. This is a very big score on such a pitch. India has managed to give a huge target of 374 runs. Jaiswal has scored a century. He has scored 118 runs. Also, Eksevan Jaadeja has scored a half-century. Washington Sundor has played an innings of 53 runs off 46 balls. If India loses even after giving a target of 374 runs, it will definitely be considered a failure of their bowlers. England has scored 10 runs in 2 overs. England's batsmen are under a lot of pressure, this is for sure. But England will try to win till the end. Even though the target is big, they will not give up.

England needs more 348 runs and they still have a full 10 wickets in hand. They have started the 2nd innings well and have made 24 runs without any loss. They have started the innings with a fast pace, maybe the plan is not to let the Indian bowlers settled. Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley are batting with a plan here.

From an Indian team perspective, they need an early breakthrough. If Akash Deep and Prasidh Krishna aren't able to get a wicket quickly, the Indian camp should change them quickly and try the combination of fast and spin bowling.
