Predict the outcome of the 2nd Test between India and England

[MenInG]

So we hear that the ball will spin from Day 1- does that put India on a huge advantage or will England also be able to take advantage of this?

Depends who wins the toss

 

[dravidthewall]

Why ?

England team is ruthless and confident. India is under pressure.

Still home advantage and India did well in Australia they are not a side lacking talent.

 

[Junaids]

If India lose, they are eliminated from the World Test Championship.

Toss is crucial, what I Would say is because of Roots mastery of playing spin I feel he could counter Indian spinners no matter what and England will get a competitive score either way by batting first or second as long as he gets good support, therefore lm backing England to win a close encounter.

India will win this one
No archer no anderson and no bess

Looks like a win toss, win match, type of pitch.

Looks like a win toss, win match, type of pitch.

Indian fans will start making excuses again if they lose the toss and a game again.

Not sure how effective broad and woakes will be in these conditions. I can see moeen Ali getting wickets if he plays.

 

[Shoaibbtt]

Best of luck to both. I expect a fightback from India.

 

[Geil]

Expecting India to win this if not then easily this will be actually a very humiliating defeat for India as they will not be able to qualify for the WTC Final and also they cannot win the series if they fail to win 2nd test

So a very important match from Indian point of view as lots at stakes
