Into the tail lads...ah

[Big Mac]

India bottling this big time.

Can't wait to see the pitch for the second test now

Cant believe Woakes hasnt taken a Fifer with his 4 overs. Drop him..

[rickjames]

YES YES YES! Come on!

Thought we did brilliantly and didn't think we'd be capable of outplaying India like that in their own back yard. Top and middle order stepped up with the runs and the spinners were in control for most of it. Shoutout to Hameed who looked exceptional and not out of his depth at any point.

Onto Vizag we go.

Kohli's ahead of Tendulkar for my money. Forget runs/averages/hundreds, Kohli's mental toughness saved the day for India, whereas Tendulkar went missing many times when India where in similar situations

[ScottParko]

That's a winning draw for England in village terms! Definitely us with the boost going into the 2nd test

[singapore rookie]

with the turn the Vizag pitch offered last one day against NZ, it will be very interesting

[uknsaunders]

As long as we bat first in the remaining games we'll be fine

I find myself asking increasingly frequently whether you're always high?

Are you ok??

One is the greatest batsmen of modern times the other is outstanding but not in the same league!!

No one is denying Tendulkar's ability, and he's one of the all time greats not just a modern day great. I'm talking about the disparity between Tendulkar's record in the first and second innings of a Test match. And in particularly the fourth innings. He often went missing. Whereas Kohli's fourth innings record is sensational

Perfect clarity in my mind...thanks for your concern...

I am not sure it is worth bothering to compare Kohli and Sachin.

Let's just accept that Kohli is an exceptional batsman who is also making a decent fist of being skipper.

[ppccopener]

quite right Buzz

Kholi is exceptionally talented, he's also a touch arrogant shown in his post match interviews..England were the only team going to win the 1st test

BUT.......I've no doubt the next wicket will turn big and that's a different challenge for us
