In the rescheduled 5th test match, England made a brilliant comeback and now they are only 119 runs far from the victory. In the second innings of India, English bowlers picked up the wickets consecutively and stopped India to set the massive target of 400+. After the impressive partnership between Pant and Pujara, none of other batters stayed on the crease for long and India got all out on 245 but because of their lead in first innings, they set the big target of 378 in front of England.
England begun well because of the 100-run opening stand as Alex Lees scored fifty whereas Crawley made 46. After that, they faced a mini collapse when they lost 3 wickets in only 2 runs. Then their former leader Root, rescued them again and he got help from Bairstow, who hit ton in the first innings. They both are unbeaten and have made 150 runs partnership.
If India does not take wickets quickly, England will end this match in 2 sessions on day 5 and India would not be able to win the series.
