An "unbelievable seam attack and incredible batsmen" make India formidable but England will have the edge in the pink-ball D/N Test here as the tourists are more adept at playing in seaming conditions, feels batsman Zak Crawley.

With the series locked at 1-1, the two teams are set to take on each other at the Motera Stadium here on Wednesday.

When asked if England were favourites playing against a moving ball, Crawley, in an interaction with British media on Saturday, said, "I think it will play into our hands.

"We have grown up with those conditions, trying to play the ball late in seaming conditions, so you would say we would be more adept at it than the Indians."
