Although the deficit for England currently looks enormous, they have won all three matches that they have conceded 500 or more runs in an innings during the Stokes/McCullum regime. Speaking after the second day’s play, England’s spin bowling coach Jeetan Patel has said the group are not fussed about any external noise.

India had reduced England to 25/3 after posting a mammoth 587 on the board, thanks to captain Shubman Gill’s majestic 269. Harry Brook and Joe Root, however, came to the hosts’ rescue with an unbroken 52-run stand that helped them reach 77/3 at stumps.
