Mohammed Siraj:

It was a batting wicket, and it was coming onto the bat nicely, so we planned to bowl patiently and keep bowling at the same spot. Virat bhai told me that we have only two fast bowlers so we will keep rotating, and we will be well-rested.


England only mek 205


lol

It would appear that the 205 got teeth. Brilliant stuff from the England bowlers so far. Let's see who stands up for India.

India 153-6 at tea.

Rohit 49

Aside from him, the rest of the top order have been disappointing this series.

Rishi Persad has been an excellent host on Channel 4.

Great contest here. A 50 run lead could very well turn out to be crucial.

 
Khaga 2021-03-05 10:38:01 

Rishabh and Sundar smacking the new ball

 
NYCGURU 2021-03-05 10:41:25

What a tremendous game changing partnership by these two youngsters. At 146 for 6, England had visions of a first inning lead.

A reverse sweep against Anderson armed with the new ball lol

Amazing how India has developed into a powerhouse Test cricket team in recent years. History will show you India was only good in ODI cricket and was easy beatings by other teams in Test cricket

WICFan 2021-03-06 08:28:33 

England batting all at sea.

Catching practice from Bairstow, poor stuff from Stokes and Pope.

Take these guys out of a seaming pitch with some swing and England are an average side.

 
mikesiva 2021-03-06 10:29:49 

In reply to WICFan

England 135 all out.

Axar 5-48
Ashwin 5-47

India win by an innings and 25 runs.

England are just not good enough.

The World Test Championship final is rightly between India and New Zealand.

England's scant regard for anything other than the Ashes serves these licks .a highly overrated team who want to whinge their way thru cutasses..

In reply to Khaga

They've added Trescothick and Lewis to the coaching staff as well. Instead of chasing money pots with The Hundred they should put more effort into improving County Cricket.

Time they got rid of Bairstow and they can't keep relying on Anderson and Broad.

 
Narper 2021-03-06 15:22:29 

IND 365

ENG 205 & 135

India won by an innings and 25 runs

 
mikesiva 2021-03-06 15:47:23 

In reply to WICFan

County cricket has been in decline since they restricted the number of international players taking part.

I've been to a few Surrey matches, and it's just dibbly-dobblers bowling to bits-and-pieces batsmen.

So, the next Ashes will be between two teams not good enough to make the World Test Championship final, both of which were beaten by India recently.

Sweet!

Not sure why WTC final should be at Lord's .we should settle the final with home and away between the finalists over 4 test series..

 
dayne 2021-03-06 22:13:26 

In reply to Khaga

Good idea, the fans of the respective finalist should have the opportunity to witness and participate, if conditions allow it.
Great win by India, they exposed the English weakness.

They need to play some more FC cricket during the English Summer and keep 3 divisions of 6 permanently without the second phase.
