The much-awaited day has arrived, the final day of the decider test between India and England. This match is little tint on the hosts side. Due to the bad light and poor weather the day ended early.
The current scenario of the match is, England need 35 runs to win the series by 3-1. On the other hand, India need 4 wickets (If Chris Woakes come to bat). This last day will be a nail-biting moment for the audience and most pressure less time for both teams.
England batters Harry Brook and Joe Root’s brilliant batting and much-needed partnership makes this match almost one-sided for the hosts. However, the Indian team still has a chance to control the things in their hand and put them under pressure with excellent bowling.
However, the day ended early due to the bad light and weather. Former England cricketer Stuart Broad finds this decision bad and called it a “Lazy decision“.
“Still 20 mins away from possible start time, everyone has their sunglasses on at the train station. Felt the supporters deserved to see a finish to that Test Match today. Felt a lazy decision to call it off at 6pm, in my opinion. I wonder who makes it?” Broad wrote this message on X.
