Foakes gives the team much more balance

This test team

Foakes gives the team much more balance

Think his keeping should be a touch better to be honest, he is the right choice to play in India though

Fantastic win. Can say I never saw that coming from Hartley after his first innings. Being a blue does build resilience.

Chuffed to bits for Tom Hartley, the Indians tried to ruin him early on in that first innings by really going after him. He’s stuck to his guns, been backed by Ben Stokes, and now hit a “five for” on Test debut, hopefully will be a seven for!!!

Pick

14-1 england were after the 1st innings.

Amazed that it's not on TV. Watched the last half hour on TS video

Hartley's apparently an Evertonian too. Even better.

Test Match cricket is very much alive and well.
That was an extraordinary game. Superb stuff.

 

[Walken]

India have never lost a home test with a 100+ 1st innings lead

I think they have only lost 3 tests at home in the last 10 years.

Most importantly it was pure entertainment, a generation of English cricketers who might have been thinking about franchise careers will now be desperate to play red ball cricket and that is down to two fellas, Baz McCullum and Ben Stokes. Positive, modern leadership.

….its on that BT Sports channel.

Why are the interviews like the 12 monkeys interrogation scene? Where are they?

It's on TNT or whatever it's called

Fantastic game, nail-biting end. Test cricket is really the real deal.
