After three days of chastening cricket, India's onerous task of keeping up with England has become an impossible one. England batted 190.1 overs to post a massive total of 578 with Joe Root playing a captain's knock. In reply, India found themselves six down at 257 runs, still 321 behind and no recognised batsman to come. The Chennai top, which looked perfectly docile during England innings, somehow started to behave like a nagging granny asking uncomfortable questions and the famed Indian top-order had no answer. If not for a 'flambouyant' 91 from Rishabh Pant, India's score would certainly look shambolic, to say the least. Now India will play for a draw. But, again, a lot will depend on how much India make in their first innings. Early wickets in the morning and England will not shy away from imposing follow-on in a bid to engineer a result.
