Indian team and England are currently playing the last Test match of the series at Edgbaston. The Test match has come to it’s end as England batters are chasing down a total of 378 runs. England batters Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root are in the middle of the pitch and dominating Indian bowlers.

Indian bowlers are finding it very difficult to dismiss any of these batters (Jonny Bairstow & Joe Root). Joe Root has also completed his half-century. This was his 55th Test half-century. He (Joe Root) stepped up for England cricket team when they required him the most as they put the team on the verge of a win. Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow stabilized the innings after India took three wickets in quick succession. England were 107/0 and after the tea break, they were suddenly 109/3.

Both these batters (Jonny Bairstow & Joe Root) made batting look very easy as they have now 100+ run partnership in the game. Bumrah and company couldn’t get them out. There was a chance of dismissing Jonny Bairstow but Indian batter Hanuma Bihari dropped him at slips. The ball is in the England cricket team’s net and it seems they are going to level this series by 2-2.
