But eventually over the course of the series, the England batsmen will get better because of being at home and all. India's bowling wouldn't be able to sustain it beyond the 3rd test. So as long as the batting doesn't come in good shape, India are staring at 3-0 or 4-0ish.To be fair it's not like England's batting outside of Root has been that much better against the new ball in these conditions. ABC just use the ball so much better than India do, and they can sustain this quality longer than India can. Plus it helps having a strong lower order.
Unless Cook or Bairstow or someone has a big series too, this could easily boil down to Kohli + Bowlers Vs Root + Bowlers with the rest just being supporting cast. Admittedly England's supporting cast seems a lot stronger now.
I know it's unfortunate losing to a **** team and England are a **** team, but meh!
