A mountainous target in front of England

The Indian team scored 364 runs in the second innings thanks to a crucial 195-run partnership for the fourth wicket between KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant. The short but important innings of Karun Nair and Ravindra Jadeja made the target of victory a little bigger for England. No team has achieved such a big target in Leeds after 1948. In 2019, the England team scored 362 runs against Australia.
