Poms won’t have chased 277 against at least 3-4 Indian bowling combination on this track, 9 times out of 10: any combination between four pacers - Bumrah, Shami, Ishant, Yadav and three spinners - Jadeja, Ashwin, Kuldeep... probably Mishra or Chahal as well + Pandeya as all-rounder.
Apart from bowling skills and experience, another reason for that will be captaincy - there are at least 4 players in Indian lineup (Kohli, Rahne, Sharma, Ashwin) who can teach entire PAK management (Azhar, Misbah, WY) how to put pressure on 4th innings and defend a total with a combination of attack.
The target was 277, means first thing they would have done is to make sure ENG needs at least 89-91 overs to chase it, so that English tail has to face 10-12 overs of second new ball, just one example. There are few more, which we have discussed in match thread.
