England ended Day 2 on 119-3 and lost a set batsman in Rory Burns late in the day. Deep Dasgupta feels that although the pitch has slowed down, India will still be able to pick up wickets as the first hour will be difficult to negotiate for the new batsmen.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Dasgupta explained why he feels India will take a huge first-innings lead.
England’s hopes are alive as long as Joe Root is there at the crease: Deep Dasgupta
Joe Root has been in fantastic form this series and is on his way to scoring his third consecutive fifty-plus score. Deep Dasgupta shed light on how simple Root has kept his technique as compared to other England batsmen.
Dasgupta wants other batsmen to take a leaf out of Root’s book on how he keeps his technique so simple. He feels India will need to take Root’s wicket as he is once again looking in ominous touch.
Early wickets on Day 3 will hold the key for India as they will look to take a match-defining first-innings lead.
