THE WICKET AND BOWLERS

The wicket was expected to produce a lot of runs, but the bowlers kept things tight and never let the batsmen run away with the advantage. They picked wickets at regular intervals, Jadeja produced a few brilliant deliveries and was well supported by Ashwin too. Joe Root was the only flash in the pan for England, he looked steady until he fell for a false shot. 155 should not be such a pain to chase down. But the indians must not be complecent and underestimate the english attack which is more than capable of dismissing india below 150.The must look positive and not pressurise themselves and play freely if they do that they can run away with the game and lead the series 2-1.THE local boy dhoni also played his part by taking 3 catches
