It's all on this partnership. Woakes managed it against Pakistan last year, and Root is, well, Root. Bumrah in particular is on fire though, England need to get through this, and then there's the small matter of the new ball.
Both gone by tea, 8 down and only Overton, Robinson and Anderson left.

Anderson goes after a tiny edge ... India win by 157 runs. A quite incredible turnaround considering they were a poor 191 after their first innings. Whichever way you cut it that's a total bottle job from England once the openers went. Root offered resistance but he can't be carrying this lot in every single match.

As for India, after that first innings nonsense they were quite magnificent. An absolute top drawer series so far.

A magnificent performance from India today. I did not see that coming, however England did not cover themselves in glory. To put it mildly, that was a poor effort with the bat. Bring on the 5th test.

Burns, Pope and Bairstow were got out, the rest got themselves out, unfortunately. Take nothing away from India though, they were superb today.

A bit of shameless self promotion here. If you like cricket, and like podcasts, then check out my cricket podcast. It's working it's way across the different platforms at the moment (should hit Apple podcasts in the next couple of days), we're on Spotify though

You can find us on Twitter as well

cheers folks 🙂

So Root has said Buttler will play the 5th test. Wonder if Pope will drop out? They'd be mad to in my opinion but given Ali is already likely to drop out for Leach would leave them pretty light on batting

My bet is Bairstow. Pope made a score in the last game, which Bairstow hasn't really looked like doing (he looks good until he gets to around about his average, then gets out). I reckon Overton drops out for Leach, and Wood comes in for one of Anderson or Robinson (probably Robinson).

There's been a lot of chat about Anderson not featuring as he's played 4 tests on the bounce. He obviously wasn't intending on playing all five before Broad's injury.

I don't get like Jimmy would be posting this if he wasn't going to be playing.

I don't think he should feature (well, actually, I think he should have missed the fourth test), but I think he will.

England name their T20 world cup squad. Only 1 specialist spinner seems to be a bold call. India named 5 in the their squad yesterday.

The continued absence of Joe Root from the England T20 setup absolutely baffles me. I'd have had him in the 15 instead of David Willey.

Still no Ben Stokes, as he continues his indefinite break. I hope he is able to get himself in to a space where he can play in Australia, the test team really needs his batting.
