However, England faces multiple challenges, primarily with their bowling attack. Jack Leach's injury limited his contribution to only 16 overs out of the 87 bowled on the second day. This setback, coupled with the overall performance, has left England in a precarious position, with the match slipping away from their grasp. The visitors are in deep trouble, struggling to counter India's commanding presence.

As the match progresses, England pins its hopes on spinners such as Leach, Joe Root, Tom Hartley, and Rehan Ahmed to dismantle India's batting lineup. A strong bowling performance is crucial for England's chances to make a comeback. The situation demands a resilient batting display from England in the upcoming sessions to turn the tide in their favor.
