There are some who might not agree with what Brad Hogg is saying.

The former Australian spinner believes Cheteshwar Pujara seems to have rediscovered his mojo and must be retained by captain Virat Kohli for the fifth and final Test in Manchester.

"Pujara, you need him in the team. But he's playing a little more aggressively as well and with that aggressiveness, his defensive game has become more potent, more positive. The footwork has created in him being in a better position and harder for England to bowl to him. Pujara's authority and attacking nature has worked well," Hogg said on his official YouTube channel.

India batting 'world class'

India have a 'world-class' batting line-up and bowlers will have to be right on the money to avoid being punished, England pacer Mark Wood said. "I think it's (India) a world class batting line up. You go throughout the whole line-up and you think, well he is a great player, he is a good player. Rohit Sharma is being brilliant, he is tough to bowl at in any conditions," Wood said at a virtual con-call.

India are 2-1 ahead in the five-match series, having won the second and fourth Tests at Lords and the Oval by 151 and 157 runs, respectively.

The hosts defeated the Virat Kohli-led side in the third game at Leeds by an innings and 76 runs.

"KL Rahul, I have been really impressed with him, he has left the bowl really well early on and played really solitary and when he gets in, he has played quite beautifully. The openers are two big wickets for us," said Wood.

The 31-year-old speedster, who has 64 wickets from 21 Tests, said England have plans and back-up plans for each opposition batsman.
