India vs England 5th Test, IND vs ENG Highlights: IND beat ENG by an innings and 64 runs, win series 4-1

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: Former England captain Nasser Hussain has said that there has been a concerning pattern that has been set with the visitors' batting in this series which is concerning. "Missed opportunity, definitely in the last two matches. They had the opportunities to win those games and they didn't. The second session between Lunch and Tea today was probably the most disappointing session for England on this tour. From 175 for three to 175 for 6, middle order blown away. It has become the repetitive nature of England batting and it has become concerning," he said on Sky Sports.

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: Keeping Ben Duckett quiet in the early part of England's innings has been a bit of a problem for India but they aced that task on Day 1. Rohit Sharma packed the leg side and asked Siraj to bowl very straight, which meant that Duckett was forced to hit it constantly to the heavily guarded side of the field. When Bumrah came around the wicket and seamed and swung it away from Duckett, Rohit left an open field, enticing Duckett to take the risk. It was Kuldeep Yadav who finally fell to while trying desperately to go for a big shoot, spooning one to cover and Duckett fell on 27 off 58 with a strike rate of 46.56.

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: Assistant coach Trescothick reckons that the England's batters' issues in this series are more mental than technical. One wouldn't have known seeing how Ben Stokes continues to try and play spin off the backfoot despite falling doing that throughout this series really. "What is it when players don't score runs? It's lack of form, confidence," said Trescothick.

"That's what happens; people go through spells where they don't score the volume of runs. It's not technical, it can be mental, it can be confidence -- all these different things."

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: Bumrah steamed in for 13 overs yesterday and swung the ball around corners. And yet, somehow, he had no wickets to show for it. How he didn't get one particularly in the first hour of play and really every time he bowled in the first session is a wonder. Both Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley were beaten multiple times and the batters looked quite clueless at most times when facing him. And yet, such is cricket, Bumrah didn't get a wicket in that first spell of his in which he bowled seven overs on the trot while Kuldeep got a wicket in his very first over after that.

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: After Rajat Patidar and Sarfaraz Khan we have a third instance of a batter set to make his Test debut for India in this series. Devdutt Padikkal became a household name due to his performances for RCB in the IPL a couple of years ago before injuries led to a dip in form. However, those who have followed domestic cricket would know the truckloads of runs he has scored in whites after putting his injury trouble behind him. He could walk out to bat next, unless India decide to send out Ravindra Jadeja at No.4 again.

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: Assistant coach Marcus Trescothick played down any concerns with England's batting after their collapse on Day 1. "I wouldn't say it's necessarily scars emerging, I think they've been tested -- and you know you always will be in this environment," Trescothick told reporters.

"It's a hard place to come and play, results show you that it's always tricky. Many of the players will look at the success, and how they've played to be able to build upon that -- and maybe the next time they come, they'll be better than what they are."

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: Among the more hilarious passages of play yesterday was Rohit not taking a review against Zak Crawley off the second ball after lunch despite Sarfaraz Khan pleading him to do so. Sarfaraz was fielding at short leg and put in a full length dive to catch a ball that had deflected off wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel's pads after passing the batter. Jurel himself was quiet during discussions and Rohit decided against answering Sarfaraz's pleas. The replays played in the big screen in the stadium next over showed that there was indeed a slight inside edge, leading to Sarfaraz having a laugh, Rohit smiling and acknowledging him and Jurel looking quite sheepish.

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: The seemingly unstoppable T20 tidal wave is going to hit these shores in a couple of weeks and so Ashwin gave a timely reminder as to why it is that the longest format of the game needs to be saved and cherished when he was presented his 100th Test cap yesterday.

“I would like to tell something to the entire cricketing fraternity in our country right now,” said Ashwin, his voice choked with emotion. “The IPL has been a hugely popular tournament. A lot of kids want to play T20 cricket, want to get into the IPL. I do really wish them well and hope they get there.

“But remember one thing, this format that we are proudly playing teaches you a lot of things that life wouldn't teach you. Test cricket is what life is. It is the closest synergy that you can find to life. It teaches you adaptability, dealing with pressure, so on and so forth. I can go on for weeks. All those things will keep you in great stead if you decide to go all the way in this game. This great game will give you a lot of dividends for whatever work you put into it. I really hope a lot more people take up this sport and keep this wonderful format flying really high.”

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: Kuldeep spoke about how he is making it difficult for England to read him. "Ben stokes I thought isn't picking the wrong 'un and that's a good thing for me. In general just keep it simple and focus on the areas. I am sure they are picking but the pace at which I bowl is the main thing. I think they understand what I am bowling but if they are not picking then good for me. It's (his bowling art) not magic, I have been bowling for a few years now. I hardly bowled the wrong 'un this game, probably 10 odd balls., Wind is awesome here and I love bowling when the wind is on, you can drift both sides. Flipper, top spinner, googly are variations. It's important to put more revs on the ball, sometimes I overdo and fall short," he said.

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: There was a little display of why DRS has been brought in the first place during India's innings yesterday - which is to do away with the umpiring howler. That is something which is forgotten amid endless debates on millimetres and umpire's calls. Rohit Sharma was given out off James Anderson for a catch down the leg side by Joel Wilson but the Indian captain was laughing as he reviewed almost even before the umpire had completely raised his finger. Sure enough, the bat was miles away from the ball and the noise had come due to the ball grazing the thigh as it went past the batter.

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: Root at No.4 is playing his 140th Test, Bairstow at No.5 playing his 100th and Stokes at No.6 in his 102nd match in the longest format. That is a middle order with the kind of experience teams can only dream of and yet, these three have been the lowest scorers for England in this series among their recognised batters. Root is averaging 29.5 in this series, with most of his 236 runs coming in a century that he had scored in the fourth Test. Bairstow averages 22.11 while Stokes has gone at 21.88 in this series.

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: Jasprit Bumrah was swinging the ball around corners all first session long but England somehow managed to survive that barrage. They even cashed in on the luck they had by scoring at a good run rate as well and it had looked like they might be making a good fist of it when they were 175/3 in the 44th over. Jonny Bairstow, playing his 100th Test, was doing a good job at counter attacking after Zak Crawley fell and had scored 29 in 18 balls. And then, England lost Bairstow, Joe Root and Stokes, their three most experienced batters, for no runs. They found themselves 175/6 and moreover, all three senior batters took all their reviews down with them. England's experienced middle order has hardly ever fired in unison in this series but they have tended to be bailed out by a tail wag. That didn't happen this time around thanks to Ravichandran Ashwin and England were all out for 218 runs.

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: We can have endless discussions on how good or bad Ben Stokes has been as a captain but the fact remains that he was playing as a pure batter in this series and it only seemed to have got progressively worse for him in that regard. Stokes started this series by scoring 70 and six, with his half-century filled with the typical bashing the ball around with the tail-enders. In the second Test, he scored 47 and 11, 41 and 15 in the third and then in the fourth, he was dismissed for three and four. Yesterday, he never looked capable of reading Kuldeep Yadav and fell for a six-ball duck.

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: Yashasvi Jaiswal's innings yesterday was pretty much how this series has been for him in a nutshell. He was quite brilliant for his 57 in 58 balls, especially when he hit Shoaib Bashir for two consecutive fours to get to his eventual scores. But then he gave into the rush of blood by stepping out to the next ball as well, missed it entirely and was stumped. Everyone from Rohit Sharma at the other end to the commentators to even he himself were absolutely stunned by that.

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: His figures on Thursday read 15 overs, 72 runs and four wickets. An extraordinary effort from Kuldeep. He bore the brunt of Jonny Bairstow's aggression, which went a long way in his economy getting a spike. "I am enjoying my game. To be honest I put a lot of hard work after my surgery in 2021. It's just the reward I am getting now. I worked on my pace, it's very important when you play a Test match in India. I am just enjoying my bowling. I liked the Zak Crawley wicket. He batted really well throughout the series, good player of spin. It's important not to think about the wicket and I am someone who relies on my skill and variation in length. Not to think about what the wicket is going to produce. Just focus on the areas. When I was very young I used to overthink how to get the batter out. Slowly, slowly I matured as a spinner and focused on length," said Kuldeep.

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: This is what Kuldeep had to say about the little game of catch he had with Ashwin. "He (Ashwin) is very kind and humble. Playing the 100th test for India is unbelievable. Lovely to have him around. I thought he deserved that (match ball to lead the side off the field). He said the same thing - I have 35, you keep this one," he said.

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: Yashasvi Jaiswal yesterday became just the second Indian after Sunil Gavaskar to score over 700 runs in a Test series. His tally ended at 712 in the first innings, which is the third highest an Indian has made in a series. Both the second and highest tallies belong to Gavaskar - 732 against the West Indies at home in 1978/79 and 774 in his debut Test series in 1971 against the West Indies. He also became the second fastest Indian in terms of innings to go past 1000 Test runs.

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: Kuldeep took five wickets to turn the tide in India's favour on Day 1 after which Ashwin ensured that there was no tail wag from England by taking all of their last four wickets quickly. After he picked the last wicket of James Anderson, Kuldeep Yadav handed the ball to him as the team walked off, asking him to lead the hosts off the field. Ashwin threw it back at him saying that he was the man with the fifer. Kuldeep proceeded to throw it back to the veteran spinner, who is also playing his 100th Test. This time it was Mohammed Siraj who caught the ball and gave it to Ashwin, who then walked back to Kuldeep and convinced him to take the ball since he had got a five-wicket haul. The latter agreed at last and Kuldeep led the team off the field with Ashwin right behind him.

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: India captain Rohit Sharma had said that struggling batter Rajat Patidar had pulled up with an injury the night before Day 1, which meant that he had to be left out. Devdutt Padikkal is making his Test debut instead. Patidar's scores in this series haven't done him too many favours and so it could be that this is the last time we see him in Test whites for a long time, if not the last time ever.

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: India: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Devdutt Padikkal, Ravindra Jadeja, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel(w), Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: India are 135/1 in reply to England's score of 218 in the first innings. Rohit Sharma is batting on 52 off 83 balls and he has Shubman Gill at the other end on 26 off 39. Yashasvi Jaiswal is the only man to have fallen for India, having been dismissed on 57 off 58 balls by Shoaib Bashir after a 104-run opening stand with Rohit. Earlier, R Ashwin took four wickets in his 100th Test while Kuldeep Yadav took five for India. Opener Zak Crawley scored 79 off 108 balls for England but there was precious little from others.

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: Welcome back y'all for what promises to be another defining day in the final Test match of this series between India and England in Dharamsala. Well, as it turns out, cold wasn't the only thing England had to worry about on Day 1 as their shaky middle order was once again shredded to pieces by India after a promising start. Bazball or not, England endured another collapse and need to do some serious soul-searching. With their first innings batting done and dusted, it is now up to their bowlers to stop this Indian batting juggernaut that seems to be firing on all cylinders. As Day 2 begins, India are on top. Can England displace them by stumps today? Let's find out.
