Well, that was quite something! England absolutely thrashed by India on Day 4 of the Third Test in Rajkot. A brilliant 214 not out by the brilliant Yashasvi Jaiswal was the highlight of India's second innings, leaving the tourists 557 to win... However, being bowled out for 122 in less than 40 overs, gave the home side a 434 run win, their biggest of all time. Dan and Toby try to make sense of the day. India 445 (Rohit 131, Jadeja 112; Wood 4-114) & 430-4 dec (Jaiswal 214*, Gill 91,...

India 445 (Rohit 131, Jadeja 112; Wood 4-114) & 196-2 (Jaiswal 104, Gill 65*) England 319 (Duckett 153, Stokes 41; Siraj 4-84) India lead by 322 runs Learn...

India 396 (Jaiswal 209; Anderson 3-47) & 255 (Gill 104; Hartley 4-77) England 253 (Crawley 76; Bumrah 6-45) & 292 (Crawley 73; Bumrah 3-46, Ashwin 3-72) India won by 106 runs; series level at...

Is it Mission Impossible? England are chasing 399 to win the Second Test but need to beat a multitude of records to succeed..

India 396 (Jaiswal 209; Anderson 3-47) & 255 (Gill...

A compelling first day of the First Test between India and England in Hyderabad. England winning the toss and electing to bat, with Ben Stokes smashing 70. The India reply was brutal. A chastening debut for Tom Hartley whose first ball in Test cricket was dispatched for six, Yashasvi Jaiswal racing to a half-century from 47 balls and ending the day 76 not out and England having used up all three of their reviews. Dan and Toby look back on the day. England 246: Stokes 70; Ashwin 3-68, Jadeja...
