Kohli really does never believe he�s out does he

Anyone notice him walking off slowly checking back hoping for a no ball or some other saving grace 😂😂

This is why Stokes is the best allrounder in the world.

I�ve banged on long enough about batting test match time despite being classed as a one day player
Butler is doing brilliantly for us, it�s great to see how he has played this series

Yes he has he's shown if your good enough you can adapt to suit formats.

Problem is though is its a different game at the top of the order

We will never know till it is tried. He has shown decent technique against a potent attack with both new and old Duke doing a lot.This innings was certainly not played on a flat track.l remember Ganguly's couple of decisions which changed the fortune of couple of Indian players.Sending Sehwag to open and sending Laxman one down in that famous Calcutta test. A lot is broken with this English lineup which is being patched by the lower order time and again. England is 3-1 up and most likely 4-1 up not because of it's batting, it's simply because Indian batting failed miserably barring Kohli. Buttler opens in shorter format as well and if given an opportunity, he can be key in Srilanka and Westindies.

Neither does root. Root�s turned into the new Watson, reviewing plumb lbws this series

Ishant Sharma is the worst one. Smashed one onto his pad and got caught last game and then stood there like the umpire had told him he was about to kill his family.

I think Kholi knows with his wicket goes the game for India. He had to stay in for them to get close to England's score.

Dunno what anyone else thinks but he has been head and shoulders above any other batsman on either side. He is a superb player.

Root has had a poor series and without Cook the pressure on him is set to increase in future matches

Yep Kholi had his share of luck but showed why he's number 1.
As for Cook surprised Root and management haven't tried to get to him to stay until after the 2019 ashes and tell him he could take the winter off.

Yes me too, I still think he is our best. Can't see any ready replacement for him in the next few months.

I think it's a shame myself, I'm a huge Cook fan.

Broad was saying this morning he�s never seen the ball move this much. Said it might be down to the batch of balls.

Have to agree - not seen the ball move this much in a 5 test match series. It�s made great viewing. Time they get the dukes ball all around the world.

Rashid finally getting a bowl

Listening to Nasser although Cook is the fittest member of the England squad his decision is due metal tiredness 160 plus tests in 12 years

Something they've just showed on Sky Sports. Does this disprove the angle theory?

Don�t see the point of bowling spin to jadeja, get stokes and Curran on. Rashid just isn�t good enough for red ball cricket

Great knock from Jadeja that, no idea why he's not been playing this series, quality player and proved his ability in England back in 2014
