England is doing well, scoring many runs quickly.
Rishabh Pant, from India, played well despite an injury.
England's batsmen are playing well, and former player Ricky Ponting thinks England might bat only once.
If England keeps batting like this, they might win the game.
Joe Root is also playing well and could make cricket history.
India needs to take early wickets to get back in the game.
England scored 225/2 in 46 overs at stumps on Day 2, with Duckett and Crawley making a 166-run partnership.
Rishabh Pant scored a fifty despite retiring hurt on Day 1 due to a fractured toe.
Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting believes England may only want to bat once in the ongoing fourth Test.
