Ind vs Eng 2nd Test Day 3 Live Updates: England All Out on 407 runs; Siraj Picked 6 Wickets

As Indian Cricket fan your emotions would be skyrocketed at the moment, swinging in distinct direction like Pendulum, where one second You are Up with wonderful momentum on the other side it seems everything can go possibly wrong for you.

This is exactly the scenario of 2nd Test, where India after posting 597 runs Humungous total thought they could easily control English batters, which Indian Bowlers successfully managed to do that by picking few early wickets in 2nd day of 2nd test match, little they would have thought in their nightmare that English Batters in the middle including the likes of- Harry Brook and Wicketkeeper Jamie Smith would post 303 run stand for 6th wicket.

Brook and Smith scored all over the park and ensured that no freebies are given to Indian Team, and the moment these Indian bowlers were toiling hard in the middle little they would have thought they would badly miss Bumrah who have been rested from this match considering his workload management.

Akashdeep have been phomenal for India, till the time I am writing this Akash Deep have managed to pick 4 wickets by giving away 77 runs in 20 overs complemented brilliantly by Mohammad Siraj who also picked 4 wickets in 19 overs where he gave 70 runs only.

They certainly needed support from Prasidh Krishna who is most likely struggling on these English pitches, where he need to work on his length.

Brook and Smith partnership was commendable in itself, where Akash Deep picked Brilliant wicket for Brook whereas Smith has been exceptional as wicketkeeper batsman Jamie Smith scored 180 unbeaten runs from 206 balls so far at a strike rate of 87.38 is amazing.

India needs to pick 2 more wickets quickly as cementing lead around 150 runs would play and important role in extending their dominance in 2nd innings.

India should try Arshdeep Singh and Kuldeep Yadav go in Upcoming Test matches as these two could certainly bring difference in India’s squad.

Overall India has shown tought fight against England in their own backyard, once they manage to pick 29 wickets have bowlers in these conditions, they could certainly bring difference in the middle.

India could have cemented lead around 300 runs, but you need to give margin to them considering they are young bowling lineup, and they are bound to make mistakes going forward.

Also Indian Cricket is going through transition, where the likes of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have retired from the Sport.

This Indian team if they somehow managed to win series against England, they would be extremely proud of themselves.

The biggest shift you would see in current Indian team, is the mindset change where they are giving time to opponents in their own backyard.

The only time where they need to work extra hard is gripping key moments, falling that would mean you would not be able to win test match on foreign soil.

India and England are gearing up for 5 match test series where Men in Blue despite putting solid fight have lost against three lions in order for them to stay in hunt they need to win this game and the way all things have worked for them in this ongoing test match, they could certainly bring huge difference on the table.

The ongoing Tendulkar- Anderson Trophy is the resumption of new cycle of World Test Championship form 2025-2027 where India needs to make a mark by winning the series against England.

England have certainly changed the way their batting is concerned , as they are playing with calculated bazball approach.

Talking about the latest updates of the match, India have managed to clinch all English batter conditions where Mohammad Siraj Picked 6 wickets followed by 4 wickets from Akash Deep.

India are leading in this test match by margin of 180 runs and their batters needs to captiliaze this momentum in order to extend lead around 450-500 runs so that they could possibly win test match against England.

If Indian batters could managed to do that, It would give them huge confidence heading at Lords considering the series on line, Men in Blue could capitalize that even further.

Credit should be given to Indian team for the way they have approached, at the end of the day sports is all about producing results so they need to produce winning momentum otherwise all these efforts wouldn’t be remembered.
