England clueless on how to stop Kholi getting a single and keeping strike.

Root bowling stokes into the ground. Poor captaincy

Extraordinary effort from Kohli to reduce the lead

Root is not captain material. He is also a bit immature - bat drop, the high hip dab with woods. His counterparts are serious and intense people.

Benji should be the captain.

One down. That is what happens when you do not have enough first innings runs

Also a decent ball, pitch leg hit off same ball as first innings!

Most of that in the one dayers where he isn’t captain

Don’t mind him relaxing and having a laugh when he isn’t captain

Should have brought Curran back for stokes though

Well then we really did balls that up. True masterclass from Kohli yes but also 92 runs for the last 2 wkts! Sharma & Yadav contributing just 6. Surely we have to bowl better at those 2!!

Malan in the hole to the tune of 128 runs... who's backing him to make those up? Just shows you what proper batsman do they make you pay if you give them a life etc...

And after that ball from Ashwin I bet all our left handers are dying to get in!!

Rashid will need to justify his selection in the fourth innings with ball turning. Could silence the critics if he takes a few key wickets

Classy knock from Kohli in testing conditions. Disappointed he didn’t do the mic drop celebration for his 100.

Him and smith are a miles apart from the rest
Williamson?

This. We let Kohli score an extra 50 runs by poor game management.

Kohli, granted he gave a couple of chances and if you don't take them it tough sh..., displays that relentless pursuit of scoring runs. Once it essentially became a one day situation its game over as he's the greatest limited overs player of all time.

Kohli and Smith a clear margin ahead of Williamson, whom as great as he is will never take the game away from you like the other two. Root is another level below Williamson.

Rashid was pretty average, lucky to get a tail ender Ishant. Kohli had him covered easily and rather fortunate that Kohli put a long hop into Broad's hands. There's no fear factor when Rashid bowls.

Spot on with that. Big fan of Williamson and would back him on a green top but the other 2 are a class apart.
