Damn, Root gone for 150
160 runs lead with 3 wickets + Stokes still to go. I’d say England are doing well. Gonna take a monumental task from India to keep this series alive.
Hopefully get to 600 but wickets starting to fall now
Good to see Stokes back out there
Stokes will be key.
Though one could say it’s advantage England already in the grand scheme of things given they’re almost 200 ahead here and 2-1 up in the series.
India showed a lot of fight and character, especially after being 2 wickets down for 1 run in the second innings, to draw the game, with 3 of the next 4 batters scoring centuries and the 4th getting really close to a century. All this on a day 4 and 5 wicket.
An interesting incident happened later on day 5 when it was clear a result was not possible. The English players got all testy with Jadeja cause they didn’t want to keep bowling just so Jadeja and Sundar could get to their centuries and confronted him about it.
He was all polite with them (Duckett, Stokes, Crawley) saying it wasn’t his decision. He should have told them to stop whining like little bitches and bowl their quota of overs.
38-2
224 all out
England looking to run away with the test
Just turned it on and rain stops play!
Looks like India gonna run away with it now! How the tables turn in test cricket, man..
Exciting morning ahead @Echoes @sunny310c
Feel like Smith will finish it in no time
Overton hits two fours and then Smith is gone. 27 needed with3 wickets left. Drama!
Oh dear
Shocking collapse
What a test and what a series.
India well worth the 2-2 and a draw imo, England 3-1 would have been harsh.
Crazy end to the series and it has been a blockbuster tbh. Great advert for test cricket at the highest level.
Have not been following the game, just the scores. Just saw the highlights of the last day and looks like it favoured the bowlers a lot.
A drawn series seems like the right result for this series which has been quite gripping, and has gone back and forth. Both teams will rue missed opportunities to win the series.
I think the match going fans in England have got more than their money’s worth and cricket fans in general have another memorable series to cherish.
One of the greatest series of recent times. Enjoyed it as a neutral. And great advert for test cricket too. All 25 days of the series played and hardly any boring days in there.
Really good series of cricket, that. Enjoyable at an Ashes/ODI level.
England
🏴 needing 35 runs in a day’s worth of cricket and 4 wickets remaining and still losing is
