India has lost wickets quite quickly. But the team is still in a good position. India's innings will depend on the first session of the upcoming cup. If India does not lose any wickets in the first 10 overs, then India may be able to take the lead. The Indian team will be able to collect close to 400. But if India stumbles early in the day, then it may not be possible for India to collect 350+.
This match will not be one-sided like the second match, that is for sure. Both have the possibility of winning

India felt some pressure in the beginning where Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed early but KL Rahul & K Nair helped India to reach 74 runs from that pressure but it was thought that Shubman Gill might give India something special in this match but Shubman Gill could not do well in this innings. However, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant are both trying to build a big partnership and if India can build a big partnership in this case, then it can be said that they will be able to give a run lead in the first innings. So far, India have lost three wickets but have scored 143 runs, while India are currently trailing by 242 runs.

India is still not out of the danger zone. When KL Rahul and Karun Nair built the second wicket partnership, I thought that they maybe able to get India to a secure position. But when it mattered the most, Nair got out and then within a short interval India again lost the wicket of Shubhman Gill. Now Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul are there, trying to stabilize the Indian innings. As of now, India may not be too much worried. They do have depth down the order, with Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar yet to come.

^^ I am not feeling good with the Indian inning and afraid they might fumble with the bat as well. To feel secure need couple of 100 runs partnerships or 1 big one with someone scoring daddy hundred. Also, don't forget pant is injured.

If they somehow manages to bat throughout the day with 6 down then they will have some chance in this match.

Speaking of Italy, heard that they qualified for the 2026 t-20 wc? Now waiting for India vs Italy in the final and #Melody taking selfie in the stands.

England were batting first and got the lead of more than 350 so that was a really great job but then when India came to bat, I was expecting so see some good performance by the early players including Jaiswal and others but when Jaiswal came, he got out early but it is not a big deal because obviously each player doesn't need to perform in each game or each day.

However, on the other hand, I was looking for Shubman Gill batting but he also disappointed me by being out early at just 16 runs. However, India are at 145 for three wicket down. The innings is at a critical stage as the remaining batsmen's performance can make or break this game.

There is still a possibility that India may lose the game or may face some difficulties in the coming days because they have already lost their wonderful opening players, Jaiswal and then Shubman Gill as well. Still KL Rahul is on batting but I don't think so he could manage the situation, he is batting at 53 runs but max to max he will make more 20 to 10 runs and then got out, as if you analyse the game, it seems it could be hard for KL Rahul to stay more at the pitch and he is playing in defensing manner but if he gets a partner then he could score a century and help to the team in this situation.

India lost some quick wickets earlier in the day so it is easy to say that the team will definitely be under pressure now. Especially the fall of the one who was expected to be the best will make the match difficult. But I can personally guess that I am still confident with the players who are still in the India team. One of these two, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, will definitely stay in the match if that is not possible then one of Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja will take that responsibility.

They started well but later they were under some pressure after losing their wickets, although India lost only three wickets, they are still facing a lot of challenges. If these two KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant can stabilize the game, then it may be possible for them to meet the target of 242 runs. And if these two do not have a cool batting performance, if the pair breaks, then there is a possibility that it may be difficult. Today, the Indian team must play according to their batting performance and meet the target. But I believe that since the Indian team's batting is still there, it seems that they will be able to meet this target and give a lead.

India is still in a strong position than England. England had a good start but their lower order failed them this time. This is the lowest score for England in these last three test and India looks in track to get over that. With just two days gone, there would still be enough time to decide the game even if India bats whole of 3rd day. KL Rahul and Rishab Pant are int the crease for some time now. They would come tomorrow refreshed.
It would still be early to decide as how the teams performs in 2nd innings mostly decides the results of the game.

The batting squad of the Indian team is very strong, among them, the Indian team has not been able to come away from the danger zone at present. If the current pair of Rahul and Pant get out, the next batsmen will definitely face pressure. So the current batting performance depends on the two batting partnerships of Rahul and Pant.
If their batting performance is good, then the Indian team will definitely be able to give good results for their fans, but I think the Indian team will definitely be able to meet the target given by the England team in this innings. Because the next batsmen have the right to be patient and perform well.

Whether India is in a good position or not will depend on India's performance at the start of the day . If India performs well in the first session and does not lose any wickets  then India has a big chance of taking the lead in this match. But if India loses Pant or Rahul's wickets at the start of the day then it will be tough for India to collect up to 350.

India lost their third wicket for 107 runs. On the other hand , we saw England losing their third wicket for 153 runs. So it cannot be said that India is in a good position. India will surely have to bat very carefully at the start of the third day.

Rishab Pant , Rahul, Jadeja and Reddy are capable of playing big innings. If these four batsmen are able to bat with  some responsibility then India will be able to  collect around 400. But I think england will take the lead in the first innings

India have started their second innings batting and have not lost any wickets since falling for three wickets for 145 runs yesterday. However, Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul have put on a 52-run partnership so far and are looking to extend their innings. However, the next batsmen for India are NK Reddy, Jadu, Washington Sundor, who can also bat. However, if KL Rahul & Rishabh Pant are the most reliable batsmen, this will be the most important partnership for India.
