This could be a match-defining partnership between Root and Brooks. India needs to stop leaking singles and gifting loose balls.

Happy for you ☺️

Today’s beautiful cricket ground is the home of Patterdale CC in Cumbria

Poverty in India is not the fault of the BCCI—if anything they've built new cricket networks & training facilities. BCCI have managed the IPL quite sensibly & found ways to give poorer kids a lot of opportunity. I think they're doing a good job—a number of the Indian players are from poor families.

*I'm not a big fan of the money thrown around in the IPL but it gives a lot of young players the means to a livelihood & an opportunity to be seen. The BCCI has put in rules that stops young players from only playing IPL—which is a good thing—as is their growing focus on grass roots cricket.

My main bugbear is that 1. people comment on the BCCI without understanding the complexities of India 2. so much of the commentary is based on non-reflexive racist/orientalist tropes & 3. the mob of international ex-players who go where the money is but give little back to Indian cricket themselves.

Yeah. He did that post match presentation with such ease. Answered all the questions with great composure.

Edgbaston conquered! If we would have held those dropped catches, we would've been 2-0 in the series but 3 more matches to win if India would play with the same rigor. Well done bous.

Sharp patrolling 🚓!!

Yeah, Paul. This has been some intense stuff from Indian players. Captain leading from the front. There is a long way to go for Shubman as captain but he is having a ball right now.

WHAT A CATCH, DSP!! That's not a easy one for a fast bowler who is in middle of his spell. Splendid 👏

#ENGvIND

Super smart from Akash there. A slower one to trap Smith. Big wicket. Just 2 more to go to seal this match.

#ENGvIND

I reckon, the runs scored in the 2nd innings boosted his morale.
How are you doing?

Test cricket at its absolute best!!

He earned India an extra over before lunch and we got Stokes's wicket. Good show India in the last 30 mins. #ENGvIND

I never had a separate room in childhood. But we had a poster in our living room of a running horse with a quote written on it, which says : " each must find his own road".

Lord Shardul must only play in Lord's. What a waste of a spot in this test he is. Could have played Sarfaraz as an extra batsman.

Karun is yet to get off the mark.. 😒

Have you watched Goibibo ads featuring both of them on that stupid stupid stupid thing? That's nice too.

Only the second wicket keeper to score a century in both innings of a test match

The only time completed in England

The other Andy Flower against SA in 2001 in Harare (142 & 199*)

#ENGvIND

Not every day great Sunny ji comes to the balcony to applaud a century. Well played, Rishabh 👏
