First Test - India v England

Brilliant from England and especially Joe Root. A masterful piece of captaincy and one in the eye for all those naysayers who couldn’t understand the logic of the decision to keep some of the new ball for a day 5 pitch.
 
Fantastic bowling by Anderson.
One of the great overs in Test cricket.
Will be talked about like Holding to Boycott over in 1981 at Barbados
 
Root was just setting game up yesterday, they where still in control. He wanted 2 goes with new ball, last night and this morning.
 
What an unbelievable all round performance.

Once again, Root showing why he's the captain with the timing of declaring. Incredible.

Even England Cricket's admin team are having a pop at the bedwetters wanting us to declare far too early!

1 more win and we match Australia's record of 7 straight wins in the sub-continent by a non-asia team.
