I've got the iPad tuned into SkyGo. Going to be a tense hour.
I predict Woakes coming in at 11 with 4 needed. He'll nick one through the slips to win it for England

 

A sellout crowd to see what will likely be less than an hour's play!

 

Smith edges behind still 20 runs needed

 

Overton gone now

 

A very close umpire's call.

 

If that’s not going by leg I’m a chinaman

 

Not even close. Dickheads. Cost us a run.

 

Brilliant drama.

 

Bit much to ask the tail to drag us over the line, but what a great series

 

Ah feck it..... 6 runs in it at the end.....

 

Smallest winning margin in India Cricket history...

 

What a match

 

What a series, you have to hand it to India they looked done for in the 4th Test but batted it out for the draw and this Test ebbed and flowed both ways. You have to question the scheduling which clearly has contributed to the fitness problems of certain players on both sides. It seems The Hundred takes precedent over everything else for the ECB which is to the game's detriment...

 

Fair play to Woakes, he looked in absolute agony.

 

Test cricket's boring innit?

 

What a great series, real cricket played at a high standard by both teams.

The winner here is cricket!

 

Thoroughly enjoyed the whole series. Great cricket, bit of needle and some good humoured banter.
Test cricket at least in this country is alive and kicking.
Now we have the drivel that is the 100, which I won't be watching.

 

I think a series draw was fair, two very well matched teams.

More importantly a brilliant series involving two teams who respected the opposition and their own wickets.

However much I've enjoyed Bazball, this series is how I want to see cricket played.
