Former India pacer Ajit Agarkar has backed England to bounce back against India in the third Test at Leeds, starting on Wednesday, but said it depends on how their batsmen counter India’s bowling attack. 

“If their [England] batsmen play well, they have a chance. They cannot bat like they did in the first two Tests and expect Joe Root [386 runs in the first two Tests] to get all the runs. They [England] are just 0-1 down and it’s a five-match series, so they obviously can make a comeback,” Agarkar told mid-day during a virtual media interaction on Monday.
