England vs India, 3rd Test: 5 Indians who will need to stand up and deliver

Ishant Sharma

Sharma's contribution with the ball will be vital if India

are

to do well

The lanky seamer seemed at his absolute best in the opening Test at Edgbaston, where he took a five-wicket haul and after being penetrative in the early stages of the second Test at Lord's tapered off a bit.

In a career lasting over 10 years, it can be said with some conviction that it has been in the last three years that international cricket has been able to see him bowl at his best and one of the reasons for it has been the seam position and the adjustment he has made to it which has enabled to get extra movement.

The way he bowls at Trent Bridge will be important for India to restrict England.
