The next england team scored 407 runs. After this, the indian team declared its second innings by scoring 407 runs for the loss of six wickets. With this, the english team has set a Himalayan target of 608 runs. At the end of the fourth day's play, the english team had scored 72 runs for the loss of three wickets. england are in a position to win if they score 536 runs on the fifth day of the match. If india wants to win, they need to take seven wickets on the fifth day of the match. These seven wickets are the only thing standing in the way of India's victory.
Although there is a common perception that taking 7 wickets is easy, the events that happened in the first Test match come to our attention. On the fifth day of the first Test match, england were in a position to score 350 runs. At that time, india could win if they took 10 wickets, but they took only 5 wickets. Due to this, england won by five wickets. With a target that is currently set for england, england will try to 'draw'. england will try to finish the match without wickets falling and level the match. That could be a challenge for the indian bowlers. If the english batsmen do not make mistakes, it will be difficult for the indian players to take wickets.

While the indian bowlers had taken five wickets on the fifth day of the first match, there is still a chance to take seven wickets. akash Deep and mohammed siraj bowled well in the first innings. Siraj had taken 6 wickets and akash Deep took 4 wickets. When they both bowl together again, they can make the same impact. Therefore, the indian team has a high chance of winning this match.
