Missed Opportunity: England's Collapse Hands Advantage to India in Test Series

England’s struggles in the third Test against India started with captain Joe Root attempting an unsuccessful reverse scoop shot against Jasprit Bumrah. Root’s dismissal triggered a collapse and England lost eight wickets for 112 runs ending the day 322 runs behind.

Despite India missing a key bowler Ravichandran Ashwin, England failed to capitalize on the situation. The aggressive approach of England’s Test side led by Ben Stokes has been both entertaining and criticized for lacking ruthlessness in crucial moments.

The third Test may result in India taking a 2-1 lead in the series.
