The Indian batsmen had a brilliant outing against England in the second innings of the fourth Test at Kennington Oval after the visitors took a lead of 367 runs to hand the home side a target of 368 runs.
In reply, England were off to a good start after openers Haseeb Hameed and Rory Burns put 77 runs on the board before the stumps were called on the penultimate day.
Chris Woakes has said that the pitch is “good enough” for batting but it would take some effort to chase down the target.
"We felt like it was a good enough wicket to be able to chase any score," Woakes told reporters.
"To go all the way and chase down that score would be an incredible effort. It would be a great, great chase,” he added.
The right-hander further lauded the openers’ efforts and hailed them for keeping things in control for the hosts. Woakes said.
The five-match Test series is presently levelled at 1-1. The first match at Nottingham ended in a draw while India won the Lord’s Test by 151 runs to go 1-0 up. Later, England made a comeback in the third Test at Leeds after winning the encounter by an innings and 76 runs.
