Trot said on Gehotstar, “The areas of Bumrah were very good, and their economy shows that it was just a little inauspicious. But the big issue is pressure from both ends.” “He is largely benefited when support is supported at the other end, and it was not so today. When you are slightly less as a bowling unit – as India were – control from both ends becomes important.”Despite Bumrah’s efforts – possibly in his final test of the series due to workload management – India’s seamers collectively bowled 83 overs for only three wickets, while Spin calculated four in just 52 overs. Trot questioned India’s bowling combination, especially in bringing Washington Beautiful and the absence of injured pacer sky.On the first tour of India’s captain Shubman Gill as a skipper, Trot was sympathetic but realistic.“Shubman is on his first visit to England and has been thrown as a captain at a deep end. He fought well in the first three tests, but the match seems a little beyond India considering challenges and limited resources.”Trot also praised the development of Route’s batting, given how he found a balance between Bazball Flair and traditional technology: “They used ramps and reverse scoops early, but he is now settled. His game is solid and adaptable. He is clung to the work he does. ,Meanwhile, Sanjay Manjrekar urged India to fight and seek positivity.“India will not think of a draw. If the sun remains out, they will look at the big score and flip the pressure. But the surface is showing signs of uneven bouncing – it can be a factor,” the Manjreker said.
