Well Joe Root seems to have a special liking for India. He has had big scores against India. Now he scored 218 against India in the 1st test at Chennai.
This and other players' contributions took England to mammoth 578.
India did not had a good start. Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Rahane fell with low scores.
Cheteshwar Pujara and Rishabh Pant steadied. Pant in fact played aggressively with 91 of 88 balls and Pujara scored 73 of 143.
India are at 257 for 6 and would need to play very well on the 4th day to come back well enough in the match.
And well, so many news analysts had predicted India dominating England quite easily. That does not seems to be the case.

Yes very unpredictable. Plus the same English team making 578 in the first innings got out for just 178 in the second innings.

India has 3 more matches vs England in India. So chances are there but a lot of scope for improvement.
I am still to follow the Australian Open.
Will check soon.

Some of the key Indian batsmen failed miserably.
Others lacked consistency.
Plus the bowlers allowed England to make 578 runs in the first innings, which was a very big score.
