Sachin on England's Batting Resistance

Sachin also discussed England's batting. He expressed that Brook and Smith batted aggressively in spite of being under pressure. They built an impressive partnership and took England nearer to India's score than what was anticipated.

Brook Still Hopeful for England

English player Harry Brook discussed his views about the match situation. He expressed that at present, India is in the stronger position.
