It's not a good sign for India,” former England captain Mike Atherton said in the commentary, reflecting the concerns shared by Indian fans and team administrators.
Akash Deep's injury occurs at a delicate stage in the Test, with England earning 98/4 at lunchtime and the match is finely balanced after both teams post an identical first inning score of 387.Earlier in the day, Mohammed Siraj's fiery spell commanded India, quickly and in a row removing Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope. Nitish Kumar Reddy put pressure on him by rejecting Zak Crawley, but Akash Deep brought the confession by uprooting Brook's middle stump after being hit at the previous three boundaries.However, with Akash Deep feeling uncomfortable, India faces competition with time to assess his condition. Once the match and series enter the crucial stage, his fitness could prove important in India's bid to win a 2-1 lead in the five-match contest.
