As far as the Test match is concerned, the visitors need 84 runs to win. They have five wickets in hand Kohli holds the key once again as he is looking invincible batting on 43. He has Dinesh Karthik with him in the middle and the duo will be tipped to bring laurels to the team. Meanwhile, England are hoping to take Kohli’s wicket first thing in the morning as they know that if he bats for 15-20 overs more, the game will be out of their grasp.
