According to Root, his team grew into the game very well and after the first innings, his team was well below par and 250 on that wicket was a strong first innings score and it would have made life a lot trickier for India

England skipper Joe Root on Sunday said that his bowlers could have created opportunities in case they had a shot for at least 40 overs at the Indian batters on the washed out final day of the first Test.
The match ended in a draw after India were 52 for 1, chasing 209 in the fourth innings. “I think from our perspective, at one stage, we could have potentially 40 overs, in that period, [I] felt like we would have been able to create many chances on surface like that,” Root said at the post-match press conference.
