Handy team for sure with a few excellent players but Australia would murder them

Holy shit. India went bananas against the Bangles. Days 2 and 3 got rained out, so they rolled Bangladesh for 233 early on Day 4. Then in 34 overs scored 285 runs! That's insanity

Not at all ominous...

Sophie Devine made 57 runs off 36 balls.

Another wicket. India 102-9

What a spanking!

[sparky]

All over. The number 11 didn't last long. India 102.

New Zealand win by 58 runs.

A superb win by the White Ferns!

Controversial non run-out of Amelia Kerr will be in the news - run out trying to sneak a 2nd when umpire had passed cap to bowler making it a dead ball. She was out very soon after anyway so no real difference to the game.

[Chris B.]

That's a crucial win.

Oz and India were the favoured teams to qualify from our pool and we've really put India on the back foot. If we can avoid slip ups vs Sri Lanka and Pakistan they'll have to beat Oz or go home.

Well done

( KW would have done it if he’d played as many tests, grumble grumble…..)

Worth pointing out that years ago Martin Crowe predicated KW, Root, Smith and Kohli would be the premier batsmen of their generation. How right he was !! Sad he hasn’t seen his prediction come to fruition, that’s some eerie foresight!

Test cricket's young Fab Four

Kohli, Root, Smith and Williamson will take turns as the No. 1 Test batsman. So far each has shown only one technical weakness

[MajorRage]

Astonishing season for Joe Root and worthy of all the plaudits coming his way.

Been watching him bat all morning and he's really struggling with exhaustion out there, but has still managed to get 150 off 230 balls.

Pitch is clearly a doddle, but not all pitches he's played on this year have been as easy. A true legend of the game.

England have clearly shown us in this match how not to be intimidated when batting second after conceding 500+.

[MajorRage]

This pitch is an absolute road. 431 current partnership. England on an astonishing 680-3!

@MajorRage Baz balling hard baby

[MajorRage]

Root finally out for 260 odd ... Smith, new batsman whacks second ball for 4.

Don't really know wha you do now ... 150 ahead ...140 overs left in the test. I guess try bat for another 30-40 overs and take another 200 runs (900!) and then spend an hour seeing if you can do anything?

[MN5]

Brook may as well go for 300 I guess.

[MN5]

Got it. Amazing effort.

Loads of legends never got a triple at test level.

Maybe a declaration at 800 ?

Then maybe the groundsman needs to be fired for creating such a road ?

[MajorRage]

Declaration on 823.

[Donsteppa]

Cricket can be a brutal individual game. Ollie Pope opening with 0 (2) in that total of 823/7d.
