England will be pleased how the last session has gone for them, as they would like to decrease the lead by as many runs on day 4. If Joe Root and James Anderson are able to get 35-40 more runs for their team, then they would be back in the game. On the other side, India would not like to lose the grip after doing so well in this match.
However, the day’s highlight has been performances from Ishant Sharma and Bhuvneshwar Kumar who displayed some amazing fast bowling on a dead track. I won’t be surprised if this pitch gets a bit more slower from here and starts assisting the spinners, and that’s when the role of Ravindra Jadeja would be crucial. But before that, it is important for India to take the last wicket of England, so that they get enough time to post a sufficient score on board on day 4 of this test match in order to look for a victory in this test match.
