IND vs ENG: The English team should have given some competition to the hosts on the fourth day of the third Test: Owais Shah.

Former England batsman Owais Shah also presented his side regarding this matter. According to Owais Shah, England should have given a little competition to India on the fourth day of the third Test. During a conversation on Color Cineplex, Owais Shah said, ‘I was a little disappointed that we batted very poorly on the fourth day of the third Test. I did not expect at all that we would lose by a margin of 434 runs. I felt that on the day of today’s game, at most three to four wickets would fall for the England team. They should have given some competition to India and taken the match till tomorrow. I think the way Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum think, they must be thinking at this moment that today was a very bad day and they must be thinking in their mind that the way the team batted in the first innings, there must be more. A better performance could have been done. If he had batted the same way in the second innings, perhaps the team would have given a little competition to India: Owais Shah Owais Shah further said, ‘If the England team had batted the way they did in the first innings, then perhaps the team would have given a little competition to India. England played a lot of maidens in the second innings. Whereas we do not get to see this. When we ask the England team to play a Test match, they play it like T20. I think they have to think again about this. There is no use in just playing baseball, it is very important for you to win the match. 3 biggest wins recorded by India in terms of runs in Test cricket These 5 bowlers have sent Virat Kohli to the pavilion for a golden duck in IPL.
