India might be in an advantageous position after the end of day 4 at Trent Bridge but that was not the case when the day started. India wasted all their reviews very quickly and skipper Virat Kohli did the mistake of using them wrongly. Kohli used up the review on his gut feeling and all of them were turned down by the television umpire. At the end of the day, Kohli’s mistake allowed England to post a 300-plus total in the second innings.
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli’s mistakes with the DRS allowed the England fans to troll him during the match. A section of the England fans started booing and making DRS signals after Kohli wasted them one by one.

Joe Root’s 109 took England to 303 in their second innings. Jasprit Bumrah’s second fifer on English soil helped India to pull things back with the ball. He was helped by Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami from the other end as well.
The Indian openers them added 34 runs for the first wicket before KL Rahul was dismissed late in the day. Rohit Sharma (12) and Cheteshwar Pujara (12) are unbeaten with the Men in Blue needing 157 more runs to win the first Test.
Trent Bridge has been India’s most lucky ground in England. It was at this venue that Rahul Dravid’s side won their first Test series in England back in 2007. India won the Trent Bridge Test in 2018 as well.
The cricket experts including England skipper Michael Vaughan is backing India to win the Test match from this position. The Indian middle-order which failed in the first innings will need to do the job in the second innings to help India get the lead in the series.
