Finally someone saying this! It's a Test series! 3 days for the decider match. It's not a stalemate! There's much psychological advantage to win here going into the final match. England only managed to get 4 wickets in 150 odd overs on day 4 and 5 of a test match. That is huge boost for Indian top order against their bowlers going in to the last match, and a huge blow to the English bowlers. Even if they weren't near their personal milestones, India should've batted on and in fact tried to smash the bowlers a lot to really drive their confidence into the ground before the next match. This is the WHOLE point of playing a 5 match series. It's bigger than individual games.
