England coach Duncan Fletcher on Tuesday gave equal chance to both India and England to win the third and final Test after an absorbing fourth day's play in Mumbai on Tuesday.

"The wicket is tough to bat on. But I feel both teams have an equal chance to win. If the Indian batsmen show patience, they can win," the England coach said.

Fletcher said his team had not drawn up any fresh gameplan for Wednesday and will stick to the one they had decided on before the match.

Asked about what target England had in mind to set for India, Fletcher said "around 350-360 in 120 overs".

The coach, who guided England to Ashes victory last summer, said his team had done well in the second innings even though they were shot out for 191.

"As far as we were concerned we wanted to bat patiently and we did so," he said.

"I have full faith and confidence in my team," he added.
