Indian skipper Virat Kohli cited that "There are no negatives for us in this games but England played better than us. We just need to take positives from the match. England's lower-order were braver than us and that proved to be the difference between winning and losing. We are not going to throw in the towel for next game, but come out with the same intensity".
Australia is up next in terms of touring and India will do well to try something different, with Prithvi Shaw and Hanuma Vihari available for some experimentation at the Oval. Apart from that, 3-1 loss in 4 Tests is pretty downhearted.
England in the ascendancy! Three wickets have fallen after tea, with Moeen Ali claiming Pant and Rahane. India are 153/7, still needing 92 runs to win.#ENGvIND LIVE ➡️ https://t.co/VUru4XV87u pic.twitter.com/uJ2ArVlgFD
