This is Moeen Ali's 6th man-of-the-match award in Tests. Since his debut, only one player has received more - Steve Smith (8 ) #EngvInd



Can't win you test matches, remember.

In this series the toss was the deciding factor, fortunately for Root he won it in every match - despite the brainless call in Nottingham. It's concerning that India ran such so close in Birmingham and Southampton. Once Anderson and Broad retire we'll be a fairly poor side even in home conditions.

Please don't be so nieve to say the toss was the deciding factor between the teams. Of course it helps if you win the toss but England were 86-6 after choosing to bat!! India let us get away in the 1st innings, they could easily have been chasing far less.

He is simply not needed and not trusted by Root.

14 overs, 3 maidens, 0-40 across 2 innings.

What more do you want from your frontline spinner on a pitch that's turning? ;)

So batsmen can't turn the tables on bowlers? 86-6 means nothing in the modern game where lower order players are expected to contribute with the bat. England's collection of 'all rounders' is the difference as India essentially had three 11s in Shami, sharma and Bumrah.

It's quite unusual for us to play two spinners at home. Swann and Panesar did not play many games together, I can only actual think of One or two.

We are in a bit of an unusual summer thou to stick up for the selectors. It's been bone dry most of the time and yet the wickets have favoured seamers most of the time.

At the rose bowl, it's was known to spin later on, so we did need two spinners...probably the right call...

Moeens cricket seems to be in his head, he's a xo fidence player. He's not the first to have a slightly unusual mentality and won't be the last.

He sees himself as a batsman who bowls , so will always be the second spinner if there are two picked...and then he bowls better.

But that's not the point you were making you were talking about the toss.
