The forecast for Day 3 is overcast and conditions might suit swing and seam bowling. However, VVS Laxman wants the Indian batsmen to bat responsibly and post a big total in their second innings.
Speaking to ESPNCricinfo, here is what VVS Laxman had to say:
The Indian bowlers looked tired: VVS Laxman
At one point, the Indian team had England reeling at 65-5. However, some important lower-order contributions and a brilliant innings from Ollie Pope ensured that they reached the score of 290.
VVS Laxman feels that after playing three back-to-back Tests, the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj looked tired and might be carrying some niggles.
The first hour of Day 3 will be crucial. The Indian openers will want to go unscathed and will need to build on the good work that they did late on Day 2.
