Uff 3 quick wickets and middle order failed one more time.
No hope left for India now and it looks like inning defeat is just around the corner. We can't expect many runs from the lower order, the best they can do is try avoiding inning defeat which looks tough task.

It is a good comeback for India they have lost only two wickets and are now trailing by just 139 runs. Pujara is on 91 and I am sure he will score his century on day 4. India has to utilize day 4 completely if they want to win this match. The chance of wining is bleak but there is no harm in giving a try.
LOL.. you really believe that India has a chance to win the match? India still trails by 139 runs and there is still some doubt whether they will be able to avoid follow on. Yesterday was a good day for India. The English captain was so frustrated that he decided to bowl himself. But things may change today. Both the batsmen at crease (Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli) have struggled to get runs recently and a good spell from any one of the England pacers may create trouble for them. And the remaining batsmen also have been in poor form.
Its second inning for India so there is no follow on situation for them. New ball is due and if Pujara and Kohli manage to get pass by Jimmy's first spell in the first hour then i'm expecting good things from the Indian perspective. Pitch is also going to get better for the batters when sun comes up.

When India started the second innings it was trail by 354 runs which is a big score and I came across news sources stating India is on hard fight to avoid innings loss to England. End of the session has showed the potential of India's top order making a big innings and now trail by 139 runs. This itself a big thing, and this time I believe the top order will make miracle same as the one did by the bottom order in the previous match.
India will loose by an innings, scoring 78 runs in the first innings and then failing to restrict England means we need to see some sort of miracle if England comes out to bat for their second innings which is highly unlikely. Even if they bat throughout the day tomorrow how many runs they are going to get and their game plan is to extend the England win as long as possible to save face.When India started the second innings it was trail by 354 runs which is a big score and I came across news sources stating India is on hard fight to avoid innings loss to England.

Well looks like India took the insult of 78 runs very seriously and today once again you can see a whole new team batting in front of English bowlers, I don't know if it's about the pitch or what but India has bounced back slightly, at least they are giving signs that they won't give up that easily. Top Order has performed really well, but the problem is for even drawing this match India has to bat at least 120 more overs and make at least 300 more runs to at least give England a target of 200+ and just two sessions to bat. But this is very hard, India has to spend the whole day tomorrow batting in the middle, I still think this match is 90% in England's pocket unless we can do a miracle just like Shami and Bumrah did in the previous match.

This pitch is absolute road so far. I don't know how its going to play for the last 2 days but the bowling and all the stats i'm seeing about movement its pretty clear to me that its a dead pitch. One can argue that its worse than you see in subcontinent, at least you see spinners comes in the picture some time when pitch is dead but here its like you're batting against the bowling machine. Indian batters were shitty with their poor shot of selection in the first inning tbh. Having said that Rohit was looking was looking extremely good in the second inning, bummer for him that umpire's call went against him, which i have noticed in this series. lots of calls went against the Indian team, some of them reversed due to DRS ofc.I'm only praying for 2 daddy hundreds. Hitman is down so it all comes down to Pujara and Kohli. If by any chance these 2 manage to get big 100s then i won't rule out result in India's favor. Even if they draw the match it will boost their confidence.

We are looking at a innings defeat for India in this test match . England already got a huge lead and with 2 more wickets in hand England may not need to even bat again. A lot of time left in the test match as well and only some miracle can save India otherwise an innings defeat for india is inevitable.
If England can give a leave of 400 runs, they will no longer have to bat in the second innings. Moreover, the way England put pressure on India in the first innings, India will bat under some pressure. If India cannot get out of this pressure, it will not be possible for them to lose to England except for one innings. England has a lead of 345 runs still they have wickets in their hands and this lead will increase. This match is being completed dominated by the English team. India's chance of winning or drawing this match is very bleak. Indian batting was pathetic, what were they thinking? James Anderson completely destroyed the Indian batting order and now the bowlers are not able to take wickets.
Only top order is in form for India and what Anderson did was to get the top order batsmen out in his opening spell itself. And that doomed the Indians. Apart from a occasional 50s and 60s, the Indian middle order is not performing for some time. On top of that, players like Rishabh Pant want to bat in T20 mode and just throw away their wickets. If the Indians want to remain alive in this series, then they need to make some tough decisions. Players who are not performing for a long time, like Pujara and Rahane needs to be dropped.
India's all nightmares came true in this test match, 2 extremely dominated days for England with the ball and bat. This time English team meant only business, guess all criticism worked pretty well for them and why not every bowler chipped in for them, even out of form Sam Curran took the wickets. In the first 2 tests their batting was all Joe Root, who is in his career best form but here their top 4 came back in top notch form.
Atm big defeat looking very clear and odds are against Indian team but in last 8-9 months we have seen some fine comeback from this Indian team be it MCG, Sydney, Gabba or The lords. So Indian fan must be dreaming about 2 daddy hundreds and couple of 100s from the top order and their celebrated middle order Puji, kohli, Rahane. Seems impossible task for out of form middle order but that's a only way they can draw the match and redeem themselves as batting unit.
Or they can move directly to Oval.

LOL.. England is already having a lead of 345 runs. And they still have two wickets remaining. I am sure that they will try to add another 30-40 runs on the third day as well. And given how brittle was the Indian batting lineup in the first innings, I would be really surprised if they manages a score above 200 in the second innings. Anywhere close to 300 would be a miracle, especially with their low and middle order completely out of touch. Everyone is targeting Pujara and Rahane. What about Kohli? The last time he scored a test hundred was in 2019.

England 423/8 which england lead to 345 runs within two days duration. I am sure if England can lead more than 400 runs in their first innings , it would be highly possible to beat India with one innings rest.
it looks as if there were different Indian and English teams in the previous match and are absolutely different in this one.
Exactly. The first innings collapse was demoralising for the entire team due to which their bowlers bowled badly. Bumrah was the most economical bowler, but he didn't take a single wicket.One thing I noticed in this series is England's over-dependency on Root who keeps scoring centuries consistently like a boss. The other batsmen need to perform on a consistent basis if they want to win this series.
On the other hand, majority of the Indian batsmen are out of form too. Kohli's bad form makes matters worse for them. They need to step up if they want to win this series.
The way India celebrated the last win and the way England is going to celebrate this wins will be hilarious. What the main stream media will be discussing now, now they will be trashing India till the next match. What ever be the situation, this is the second time they are getting out in double digits this year and Rahane and Pujara has failed on all of these situation and they are struggling for many matches and India having the young talents needs to replace them.
The first two session determines the tone for the next few days and India getting all out for double digits is happening too often, ride the highs and then ride the lows as well 
. England put on a century partnership for the opening wicket and there is no way India could make a comeback in this match. I will be surprised if this match goes to the 5th day.
Still two wickets left for the end of England first innings. I think India will be able take those wickets within the first session of day 3. England has already made a huge lead. It's clear that Indian team has no possibility to win this match. But they will try to play slowly and make a good total in their second innings. If they become successful to do it, then the game will continue on day 5. Otherwise England will get the victory within day four. . England put on a century partnership for the opening wicket and there is no way India could make a comeback in this match. I will be surprised if this match goes to the 5th day.Jump to:
