Four wickets in the post lunch session has suddenly changed the approach with which team India was playing this Test a while ago. You now see a more aggressive body language from the Indian bowlers and they are now looking to pick wickets. This intensity was missing in the Indian bowlers before Varun Aaron and R Ashwin brought them back into the game.

One can say that the post lunch session has belonged to India and now they will have some hope to make a comeback in this Test match as the top English batsmen have already returned to the crease, and the lead is only of 93 runs.

Varun Aaron, who is playing his first Test on this tour, has been at the thick of things for India and the crucial wicket of Alastair Cook by him has been the turnaround point for the visitors. At the same time, R Ashwin has looked sharp in his bowling and he is someone who has the knack of picking wickets.

Team India should now look to restrict the English first innings as soon as possible as a lead of anything above 150 could again put them behind in this Test.
