“Indian batsmen failed in first two Tests. It is only in 3rd Test when they scored 300+. I hope batsmen carry it in the 4th Test to give bowlers something. With India carrying the momentum and England being strong at home, it would be an exciting contest to watch,” Gambhir stated.

England leads the series 2-1:

Currently, the five-match Test series is in the hands of the hosts Three Lions. They are leading the series with two victories while the visitors bagged one match to their name. The fourth test at The Rose Bowl will open the lock for many intrigues.
