India vs England: Jeetan Patel says 200-plus score in first innings of third Test could have given different result

Firstpost  

Ahmedabad: England did not expect the third Test pitch in Motera to spin so early but despite that the outcome of the match could have been different had the visitors scored more than 200 in their first innings, new spin bowling coach Jeetan Patel said on Monday. England scored 112 and 81 in the two innings after opting to bat and they fell to the guile of Indian spinners, led by Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel, who took 19 England wickets among them, to lose the first Test by 10 wickets inside two days. Sportzpics “If we had scored 200 or 230 in the first innings, the game could have been different.” Patel said England expect the fourth and final Test pitch, starting on Thursday, to also be a spinning track but said the visitors are eager to “punch back” from the two straight losses. He said the pink ball also did not behave the way England thought it would “in terms of the pitch”.
