If not played well, India fear a loss on Day 3 or 4 of the Test match. India will look to bounce back in the game but it looks very difficult that India will be able to stage a comeback from here. There is ample time in the Test match to pick up the 10 Indian wickets. India will have to show their old-school ability to defend and to defend well.
