There is no escaping Brian Clough’s legacy in Nottingham. There is a bronze statue of the late football manager in the centre of town, Clough in his familiar pose, arms aloft. A part of the A52, a busy road that cuts through the region, is called the Brian Clough Way. The City Ground, just across the road from Trent Bridge, has a stand named in his honour. Clough is revered in these parts because he took little, unfashionable Nottingham Forest from the Second Division to European Cup glory. Not once but twice. And in successive years. It was beyond unthinkable. Virat Kohli’s men will seek to channel some of Clough’s spirit as they attempt what history tells us is a nearly-impossible turnaround. India arrives for the third Test at Trent Bridge 2-0 down, a position from which only one team has ever won a Test series — Don Bradman’s Australia in the 1936-37 Ashes. India left Lord’s battered and bruised, having been thumped in — effectively — two days. Its two innings lasted a total of 82.2 overs, the batsmen undone yet again by high-class swing and seam bowling. The scoreline and the manner of the defeat in the second Test has triggered a torrent of criticism: as much as Kohli and his lot say they do not read the news, they cannot but be aware.India will make changes. Young Rishabh Pant looks likely to make his Test debut, replacing Dinesh Karthik behind the stumps. Karthik has struggled for runs, making scores of 0, 20, 1 and 0 in his four innings. To be fair, none of the other batsmen — Kohli excepted — have covered themselves in glory either, but it is worth giving Pant a chance.
