That’s it, series to England. At 3-1 up England have won the series with a game in hand against the best ranked team in the world. England are currently ranked fifth, so all in all, a good summers work! They now head to the ‘Kia’ Oval for the fifth and final test of the series, should be an entertaining match.
Catch the TMS team live from The Oval at 11:00 BST on Friday the 7th of September.
Oh no, Joe! As soon as he mentioned dreaming of a 5-0 series win it was blown. England’s first innings collapse put paid to that and all credit to India who were resurgent, with some real hostility in their bowling and grace in their fielding. Whitewash aside, this is great for the series as it’s still all to play for as we head down to the Ageas Bowl in Southampton for the fourth test. From the England perspective, there are some interesting selection choices to be made, with Moeen Ali getting a double century and eight wickets for Worcestershire against Yorkshire in Scarborough over the weekend and James Vince scoring 74 and 147 at the Ageas Bowl against Nottinghamshire. Either way, it’s game on.
Two from two it is! India look in complete disarray as we head to Nottingham for the third test. Bayliss has named the same squad, with a caveat that Ben Stokes could be included subject to the outcome of his trial.
England will be eager to get to Trent Bridge, but with Root already talking up the ‘dream’ of a 5-0 series win, they need to stay focused on the task at hand.
England held their nerve to complete a tense 31-run victory over India in the first Test at Edgbaston. Stokes in particular bowled aggressively and wisely but is set to unfortunately miss the second Test at Lord’s due to his court case scheduled for the same week.
If the hot spell continues as is forecast, India should feel quite at home in the parched outfield at Edgbaston. Virat Kohli, India’s captain, was in imperious form yesterday in the warm up game against Essex and Joe Root’s England team will have their work cut out for them.
The five match series kicks off Wednesday, 1st August and run’s through to the 11th September.
With so much sun already this year in the UK, chances of an Indian Summer are looking slim, let’s see if Kohli can change that!
