During the fourth day of the third Test of the ongoing India’s tour of England in Leeds, England beat India by an innings and 76 runs to equal the series score to 1-1.
Resuming from their overnight score of 215/2, India registered their second batting collapse in the match after losing their last eight wickets for 63 runs. The fact that all it took for the English bowlers to dismiss India today was less than 20 overs doesn’t speak highly about the visitors’ batting performance at Headingley.
The biggest concern around the Indian batsmen’s dismissals lately is the consistency with respect to the mode of dismissals. Taking into consideration how Indian batsmen are committing the same mistakes on a repeated basis, captain Virat Kohli and his men would want to make amends in the next four days before the fourth Test at The Oval.
Given a couple of batting collapses on a surface which was expected to favour the batsmen, fans might see India making changes to their Playing XI especially in their batting unit.
Talking about the English bowlers today, fast bowler Ollie Robinson was the best of them all with bowling figures of 26-6-65-5, his second five-wicket haul in the series. Other than Robinson, Craig Overton was also among the wickets on his Test comeback picking bowling figures of 18.3-6-47-3.
