The only hope is if rain will come in rest of the two days otherwise no chance India defeat is confirmed

 

[Endgame]

Lots of mistake by Captain Kohli.
* Replacing Umesh with another Yadav, Kuldeep (It should've been done in Edgbaston test). Though Ganguly was saying 'You can't have perfect XI for tests, should utilize what you have', not fully agree with him.
* Looking at Kuldeep's very first over, it was clearly a BIG mistake. He wasn't even look like a club-level bowler, looking very uncomfortable and short of confidence.
* Bowling Kuldeep in short spells.
* Bring Ashwin too late (39th Over ). C'mon man, he's your best bowling weapon. In Edgbaston, he was given new ball in both innings and created immediate pressure.
* Field placing was very poor, it's not attacking, neither defensive. May be bowlers weren't able to bowl according to field.
But when you think aggressively, you ought to make occasional mistakes.
Other than the mistakes, India was in the wrong side of nature's favor.
Rain or no rain both helped England.
Rain before India's batting made the pitch lively for England seamers.
No rain before England's batting made the life easy for England batsmen specially after initial few overs. Here both Ishant & Shami faltered in the opening 6 overs (may be they were trying too hard).
As per the weather forecast, India will be in the same situation in 3rd innings too.

India going to 3rd test at 0-2 and most importantly without their best batsman.
Kohli's stiff back will rule him out of 3rd test if not rest of the series.

India is playing like west indies team. india should tell some reason and quit this series and come home to save some pride.difficult to see them playing the rest of the series.

Difference between both the teams is Tail enders batting where Bairstow,Woakes,Curran contributing nearly 70% of Teams Total in both the Tests where as Indian Tail Comprised of DK,Pandya,Ashwin,Shami is lasting max 6 overs without any contribution.

Don't expect centuries or fifties from Indian tailenders like England tailenders when main indian batsman were failed in both tests what tailenders can do?

Batsmen are the reason for loss.no confidence from these players.They are playing quickly like t20.test match need patience to build an innings.except pujara all are in a hurry to score runs in every 10 balls. Playing like chasing a target. 0-5 sure.
