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
Great come back from India in second innings as England need 374 runs to win this final test. Both England and India are top test teams and it was expected that this five test match series will be competitive. Indian batsmen have done a great job in setting a fighting target and now it's up to their bowlers to win the game and draw this series. We saw England team chasing similar target in first test at Leeds, so Indian bowlers need to work hard from initial overs otherwise things may get out of their control.
India batted in the second innings and set a total target of 374 runs. England came out to bat and scored 50 runs for 1 wicket in 13.5 overs. If England wants to win the match, they will have to give a tough test to the likes of Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep. Although cricket is an uncertain game, the match can turn at any time. The England team has less experienced batsmen than in the previous match. For example, players like Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer.
