Even if they didn't how did Ashwin magically spun the ball to take 6 quick wickets and England getting all out on 178?
The pitch is the magician, the England spinners will also shine in the final day with the way Bess bowled in the first innings he will probably be the pick of the bowler for England and it is not an easy pitch to bat in the last two days.
Thirdly what the hell is Rohit Sharma doing in the team? taking a very important spot of some youngster who can perform way better? At this point of time, there is cut-throat competition in the team for a place you just can't get away by scoring any runs in 4 consecutive games. India might have to take a tough decision on him pretty soon.
Will the team take a decision to remove Rohit Sharma from the team after this match, i highly doubt that. He will be under pressure in the next match and if he does not perform then they will be forced to replace him
At this point, my eyes are once again on Rishab Pant. If we can do this in Australia where it was a pure bowling pitch against the world class Australian bowling attack with an India-A team we can definitely do it again with our mainstream team now. But I think India's first try will be for a draw.
Rishab Pant will try to attack and with the ball spinning too much i think he will not perform in the final day, it all depends upon how Pujara Kohli and Rahane perform as you need a solid player at one end if India needs to draw the match.
