Kohli doesn’t know what is happening to him. He is just not able to control his Poking habit outside off. His shots are a repeat of 2014, which is once again letting him down. Kohli got out in the bowling of Curran simple ball outside off Kohli could not control his shot got out Poking. 

Rahane and Pujara showed their class after a long gap. Both played extremely well. The partnership between Pujara and Rahane helped India come out of danger. Still, we believe 154runs are not enough in today’s time. One good session England can take this match.

Rahane got out in the bowling of Moeen Ali simple outside off bowl. Pujara got superb ball length ball jumped up against Pujara, took the edge and went to sleep.

Indians are not able to play spin well. Moeen also got the wicket of Jaddu. However, Jaddu got the classic ball from Moeen pure off-spinner delivery. Giving hope to Jadeja that you too can enjoy bowling on day 5.

Pant is on the crease. India should cross 200 atlist which will give a psychological advantage. Score onboard definitely India should go hard against England batters. However, England batting lineup is not so strong, and lack of experience, the only Root can spoil the party.
