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: The last team to win a five-match series 4-1 after losing the first match was Australia against England all the way back in 1911/12. It is the first time it has happened outside of the Ashes and just the fourth time it has happened in the history of Test cricket. The 4-1 scoreline might not really be a fair reflection on just how good England were for much of this series. However the result of an innings and 64 runs is pretty much the exact representation of how this Test went. India were miles ahead of England right from the first ball of this match really, despite this arguably being the best batting conditions in a series where there have been quite a few of those. India were missing a number of their senior players, a number of debuts were made, most of them could be called “dream debut”. Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel and Shubman Gill have blasted away fears of India's next generation of batters not quite having the patience to last Test match innings. This team is led by Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma and the batters played like both those greats whenever required. The bowlers did what they do best. Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja reiterated that they are arguably the greatest ever match-winners for India in Test cricket, Kuldeep Yadav may have done a lot to ensure that he is among the first names in this team in the future. Jasprit Bumrah showed that words like conditions and pitches are all void for him. India are a ridiculously strong Test team. And that is what matters at the end of the day. We had fun covering this series, hope you had fun following it with us. Ciao!

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: And finally, Rohit Sharma talks: “When you win a Test like this, everything has to fall in place. At some stage people are gonna and people are gonna come and we know that. These guys are maybe short of experience, they have played a lot of cricket and I can stand here and see that these guys responded pretty well under pressure. The credit goes to the entire team and it was pleasing to see. When you win a series like this, we talk about scoring runs and 100s but it is important to take 20 wickets to win a Test. The way bowlers took responsibility was pleasing to see. It was over a period of time that we had a conversation (with Kuldeep), he's got a lot of potential and when the chips were down in the 1st innings, he bowled really well and after his injury he came back and worked at NCA and he is putting a lot of effort and the most pleasing thing was his batting. He's (talking about Jaiswal) got a long way to go, amazing to be in this position. When a guy's got talent like that who can put pressure on the bowlers from the word go, there will be lots of challenges going forward. He is a tough guy and loves the challenges, clearly superb series for him and likes to score big.”

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: Two double centuries and three half-centuries in nine innings. A whopping 712 runs overall in the series. Here is what Yashasvi Jaiswal said: "Really enjoyed it, gave me a lot of experiences. Really happy with the way I played. [Sixes] Thinking to play my shots, if I think I can score runs, I will take it on. Trying to play one match at a time, enjoy it and do something to help my team."

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: 5/72 in the first innings and then 30 in 69 balls and then 2/40 in the second. Kuldeep Yadav's all-round brilliance is what has got him this award. This is what he said: "Yes (When asked if this was the best he ever bowled in a series). It is the hard work I did in the last couple of years and I am getting the reward. I really bowled well in Ranchi, the wicket was slow and the way I used the drift over there was fantastic. I liked the Stokes wicket in Ranchi and also like the Crawley wicket, that was a beautiful ball. I just focus on keeping it on a good length and that is very important for a spinner in a fomat and not thinking too much about what the batter is trying to do. I really liked my rhythm. Credit goes to batting coach, he helped me a lot. Not just the skill aspect, but also the mental aspect. Always backing me in the net sessions."

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: Here is a gist of what Ben Stokes said: "We have been outplayed by the better team of the series. We got so much cricketing coming up, so looking forward to it. When you look at the series as a whole, in those small moments we haven't been able to keep it going. We all know as individuals as to where it all went wrong. When India get on top with the ball a lot men come around the bat and you got to find ways to keep those guys out of play and you need to be positive enough to take those risks and sometimes it could lead to downfall. Crawley and Duckett continuing their partnership at the top and Bashir and Hartley have been really exceptional the whole series and Root coming into form at the backend is really exciting ahead of our summer. Amazing to be on the field with Jimmy. 700 wickets for a seamer is quite phenomenal, from the day he first started being a cricketer to where he is now, the desire and commitment is still there and he if the fittest cricketer I have ever seen."

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: Ravichandran Ashwin has taken his 36th Test five-wicket haul. He is now level with Richard Hadlee at third in the list of players with most Test five-wicket hauls and is just one away from equalling Shane Warne's tally of 37 above him. The list is led by Muttiah Muralitharan and Ashwin might not climb that mountain. The Sri Lanka legend retired with 67 five-wicket hauls.

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: Nine wickets in his 100th Test. Four wickets in the first innings, five in the second. To add to all that, he has joined the likes of Dilip Vengsarkar, Sunil Gavaskar, Allan Border and so on in being the players to record a duck on their 100th Test. Here is a gist of what he told the broadcasters: "Very happy, can't really put a wrapper on how I'm feeling. Lot happened, lot of talk about the 100th Test. Overwhelmed, a lot of well-wishers have come forward. Win the Test and take wickets, what more can a bowler ask for? Tried different actions, speeds, releases through the series. You need that skillset in India. Pleased with how the ball came out today, even though I went for a few. Cricket is a game played between your ears. Looks like a lot is happening because the new ball is biting off the surface. [Experimentation] Not insecure about what people feel about me. We have to get criticised. I take it on board, I lock away what I learn. if I'm confident of trying and executing something, I will try that. The amount of cricket we play, and the analysis, batters will line you up if you don't change. Sticking to one method won't work. From the far end there was more bite, from the other end more speed. With the new ball I got some bounce and kick today. The way the ball is coming out of Kuldeep's hand is unbelievable, I can't be more happy for somebody."

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: Root goes for the big shot first ball of the next over from Kuldeep and he holes out to stand-in captain Bumrah at long-on. Bumrah turns back to the stands and pumps his fist in celebration. Root falls on a valiant 84 off 128 balls, he had absolutely no support whatsoever as the rest of the England meekly surrendered in the end. They fought extraordinarily well throughout this series, did England, but in the last Test, they have been simply blown out of the park just the way visiting teams tend to be every time they play a match in the longest format in India. India have won a 17th consecutive Test series at home.

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: England down to their last two wickets and so the session has been extended. Root has been giving Anderson the strike off the last two balls and so far, Anderson has done well to keep them out.

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: Bashir plays off the backfoot, ends up being bamboozled by Jadeja and that is the end of his penance. Bashir actually does the T gesture for a review. Root laughs and points to the stumps, Bashir looks back and go “ohhhhh” in disappointment. He actually never realised that he had lost his stumps. England down to their last wicket and it will be Jimmy Anderson. A lot of chatter has happened around him between Gill and Bairstow, nothing new about that though, the veteran pacer has had words swirling around him throughout his career.

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: Sarfaraz's constant jabbering towards Bashir seems to be having an effect. Sarfaraz is asking Bashir to go for the big shots in Hindi, Bashir not really making too much an effort to show that he isn't listening to him and then goes for a big booming drive off the third ball of the 42nd by Jadeja, outside edge and it darts past Padikkal at gully to the boundary. No runs after that in that over, Bashir is on 13 off 19.

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: Shoaib Bashir may be playing for England but he is desi as well and Jurel and Sarfaraz at short leg know it. They are bantering in Hindi about six hitting and boundaries, not too clear what they are saying but whatever it is, is making Bashir laugh. Ah, the gold that drips from a stump mic during Test matches, how we are going to miss this with the T20 bandwagon rolling into town after this.

IND vs ENG Live Score: England 167/8

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: Wow Bumrah slips up once in the 39th over and Root puts it away despite having close calls of all the previous deliveries. Root was beaten on his outside edge off the first delivery with the old ball moving away from him back of a length. Then he punches the second delivery, which is full, square and then the third jags away from Root. It beat the batter but was quite far away from the edge. Root and Bumrah exchange smiles after that. Then the fourth ball is inside edged onto Root's pads, because of which he is not LBW. Then Bumrah overpitches and Root pounces, whipped off the pads through midwicket to the boundary. Bumrah finishes that off with a yorker that Root digs out. Extraordinary battle between the two battle-hardened warhorses.

IND vs ENG Live Score: England 165/8

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: Root shimmies down and flicks this length ball on the pads from Bumrah, a rare loose one from the Indian stand-in captain. Root has been an island of calm amidst the chaotic collapse around him. Applause from around the ground for him.

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: Tom Hartley looking slightly better than Duckett, Pope, Stokes and arguably Bairstow did in defence at the moment. He has got to 11 off 10 despite not really heaving for the Himalayas. Root has reached 40 off 68. Kuldeep and Ashwin sending them in at the moment, with Ashwin looking for his 10th wicket of this Test.

India vs England Live Score 5th Test, IND vs ENG: Five-wicket haul in 100th Test for Ravichandran Ashwin. It is his 36th and he has gone past Anil Kumble and is tied with Richard Hadley for most fifers in Test cricket. Foakes for a rather uncharacteristic hoick across the line, beaten comprehensively and the ball hits the stumps.
