Need two wicket taking balls - sounds simple like that!

Try to get as many at Bumrah as possible

Well, that job's done now. I think we're *probably* home ...

Massive hats off to Bumrah+Jadeja. I really thought they might grind it out; 50 runs off over 200 balls partnership.

. . . now only need 24! This is tight

We will win. Fact.

Told you!

What a great test match. Just like Headingley and really good 5 day pitch.

got to feel a bit for Jadeja, he nearly got the extremely improbable done.

That was one of the best test matches I can remember - brilliant stuff from both sides . . . and an odd wicket to end it

Told you!

Should have been won ages ago! I don't know about anybody else but this whole test has been torture.

I thought it was brilliant

That's a hell of a way to be out for the final wicket. Poor guy.

Don't suppose Duckett had much sympathy!

 

[Tashman]

what a match and a horrid wicket to wrap it up

 

[T4tomo]

On of the fringe benefits of putting a lot of spin on the ball, if the batsman doesn't hit it full square then it will keep spinning...so not really a horrible wicket. A tad unfortunate maybe, but the bowler had half beaten him already

A good day yesterday for Yorks in Scarbados.

England ask India to bat at a cloudy Old Trafford. If Woakes cant take wickets in these conditions he may not need his passport this winter....

Hmmmm England Not made the most of the firs hour and there isnt as much in the pitch as potentially there could have been,
