England vs India: 5 reasons why India can win Test series in England 

#3 Over dependency on Anderson and Broad

The two Englishmen have been the backbone of this English attack for quite some time now. Both complement each other very well especially in home conditions which suits their style of bowling. Anderson, highest wicket-taker for England in Test cricket, has over 300 wickets to his name in England and is arguably the world’s best when it comes to bowling with the Dukes ball in those assisting home conditions.

While Broad has been the perfect foil for Anderson from the other end, there is still a lack of an ideal third seamer for England. The bowling attack depends heavily upon the two old horses despite many chop and changes that have happened for that vacant spot for the third seamer. In the past, the likes of Mark Wood and Chris Woakes have been considered for the job but none has shown enough promise to be named as a permanent third choice seamer. With both Anderson and Broad already being on the other side of 30, it could pose a threat for Root and Co. to ensure that they both last long enough for the entire 5-match series to give the hosts a real chance in the Test series
