England captain Joe Root said on Sunday that his bowlers could have created an opportunity against Indian batsmen if they played at least 40 overs on the fifth and final day of the first cricket Test that ended in a draw. Not a single ball was thrown on the fifth and final day. Chasing England’s 209, India were 52 for one wicket. “From our perspective, maybe bowled 40 overs at a time, we thought we could create a lot of opportunities on this kind of pitch,” Root said at a post-match press conference.
