Broad and Plunkett have done the trick for England – Kiran More on 1st Session, Day 5 at Nottingham Test

Making full use of the overcast conditions, the England bowlers have given their team an opportunity from where they can sense a win in this Test match. Going into the first session of the last day, Stuart Broad and Liam Plunkett gave their team the perfect start of the day by taking crucial wickets of Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane and MS Dhoni, within a span of 16 runs. With Ravindra Jadeja and Stuart Binny at the crease, pressure is now clearly visible in the Indian dressing room who are now desperately looking for a draw in this Test. India has lacked consistent performances from its middle order in this Test match and it quickly needs to regain its form in order to do well in the remaining Tests.

Whatever be the result of this game, I believe the English side will be very happy with its performance given in this match; considering at one stage they were on the verge of losing the Test. They have already taken the mental advantage over India by pushing them on the back foot in the second innings and we can expect more such comeback from the home team on this tour.

The post lunch session is going to be crucial for both the teams as few more quick Indian wickets in this session will tempt the English batsmen to chase the given lead.
