4 key takeaways from the third Test match between England and India

#1: England's Pace attack lacked the spark

After seeing the first two Test matches, no one would have thought that the Indian batsmen would actually dominate the England bowlers.

Let us find out how the pacers of both the teams performed.

Jasprit Bumrah was outstanding in the second Innings for India

In the first innings, England's pacers took a total of 9 wickets conceding 264 runs. In comparison to the first two Test matches, this looked a slightly disappointing performance.

Indian pacers, on the other hand, took all 10 wickets conceding just 150 runs. For India, Hardik Pandya's outstanding spell of 6-1-28-5 was the turning point in the game.

What is also important here is to see the strike rates of both the teams. Indian bowlers had a superb strike rate of 22.6 compared England bowlers' 57.2
