India's 'timid' bowling still got a lead of 244 runs, Brook-Smith century; Siraj took 6 wickets

IND vs ENG: Despite five centuries in Leeds, India lost the Test match due to the poor performance of the bowlers, and in the second Test match at Edgbaston too, Shubman Gill's team did not learn any lesson from it. Indian bowlers once again bowled bad and short balls instead of bowling on the right line length. However, by taking wickets in the third session, India got a chance to make a comeback.
