5th Test: Spin Could Play A Part On Day Four If Fast Bowlers Don't Strike Early On, Says Karthik
Tendulkar Trophy Test: Former India wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik believes spin might come into play for the visitors’ on a decisive day four of the fifth Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test if the fast bowlers fail to take early wickets.
With England requiring 324 more runs to complete the chase of 374 and secure a 3-1 series victory, India need to take out the remaining wickets to get an improbable victory and tie the series score line 2-2.
England will resume day four’s play on 50/1 after Zak Crawley was castled by Mohammed Siraj on the last ball of day three’s play. "India will have to do what they did in England's first innings and bowl a lot of pace consistently - but I do think spin will play a part. "Will it be a big part? It could be forced to if the fast bowlers don't strike early on but ideally the pacers should take 60-70 per cent of the wickets.
