India showing grit and determination

England - 2 overs, 3 runs and 2 wickets down.........

Lots of aggro to boot between one or two of the players

Hopefully if Hameed spends sometime at the crease with Joe it might just give him a phycological boost. Time will tell.

Makes for very intriguing and fantastic watching. This is what they mean by "Test"

Looks like England's top scorer will be 'Extras', Currently at 28. Apart from Root there is no 'steel' in our batting.

At the end of day 4 and right at the start of day 5 it looked like England were in the driving seat and heading for a victory. Worst case scenario was that there'd be a drawn match.Best hope for India was to hang on for a draw.

India pulled off a stunning victory. What a flippin Test Match

Anyone that thinks cricket is boring should have watched this Test match. Brilliant from India who started the day as underdogs but won easily in the end.

Three reasons we lost.

1. Poor bowling at tail-enders.
2. Poor batting.
3. Poor captaincy.

We need to get them out for no more than 150 to give us the chance of a first innings lead.
