Uphill task for India

India is dithering, with England scoring 456/3. Cook is undefeated with 182. Stauss was out for 87 and KP for 63. Eoin Morgan scored 44.

Indian bowlers were made to look ordinary before the might of English batting. India is at a big psychological disadvantage, having lost both Tests.

India's rating is bound to suffer because of such lack lustre performances.

As we have outlined in our columns before, adverse Jupiterian transits have affected both India and Dhoni. We hope the Indian team will come out of the impasse with flying colors.
