Mohali: With a new-found aura of invincibility around them, a domineering India will seek to plot a second whitewash of England when the two teams clash in the last of the two-Test series in Mohali on Friday.
What now, then, for England? Chennai was the scene of some extravagant personal performances from their cricketers - most notably the twin-centurion, Andrew Strauss - but they have emerged with nothing to show for their efforts save a significant amount of mental bruising.
India, on the other hand, will saunter into Mohali with the confidence of a team that now believes that anything is possible. Tendulkar's 41st century is already being regarded as the crowning glory of his matchless career, while Yuvraj's unbeaten 85 could yet prove to be a watershed innings.
In the early hours of the day, the pitch will be helpful for the seam bowlers as ball will swing well. Conditions here are entirely different from Chennai as temperature is low and there are winds blowing in the morning that will provide an ideal condition for swing bowlers. It means in-form Indian fast bowler Zaheer Khan and Ishant Sharma are favorites of the opening day if England bat first.
