1st Test: India Are In A Bit Of Control At The Moment, Says Broad Ahead Of Day Four’s Play
Tendulkar Trophy Test: Ahead of a highly anticipated day four’s play in the first Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test set to begin at Headingley, former fast-bowler Stuart Broad believes that India has some degree of control over the proceedings as compared to England.
On Sunday, Jasprit Bumrah’s magnificent 5-83 gave India a slender six-run lead, despite Ollie Pope's fine 106 and Harry Brook's swashbuckling 99 taking England to 465. KL Rahul then mixed cautiousness with elegant cover drives to be not out on 47 and swell India’s lead to 96.
"I don't think, with two days left, that India can get into a position to completely bat England out of the game and give themselves enough time to take 10 wickets. England will go for the win even if that risks a loss - but India are in a bit of control at the moment as the surface is more cracked and worn than I expected from a day four-pitch.
