Gambhir: 'India can still win'

Gautam Gambhir has said that India can still win the second Test against England, despite a poor start to their second innings with the bat.

India trailed by 86 runs after both sides had batted, and finished day three on 117-7.

The 31-year-old told Sky Sports News: "We have three wickets in hand. We have to be positive. If [Harbhajan Singh] and I can put on a partnership tomorrow, and if we can get 100-120 ahead, the game is on.

"If we can be 110 for 7, then there is no reason why we don't have a chance to bowl them out. The important thing is that we give the bowlers runs.

"We won't come here tomorrow just for the formality. Miracles have happened before and things can change quickly."

Gambhir ended the day on 53 not out.
