The 5th and final test match will start later today and from all reports it will be Alastair Cook's final Test before the 33 year old former captain retires from international cricket. Its a shame that he lost his form over the past couple of years as he was a great run scorer for England, I believe he now holds the record for most runs score for England in test matches. It will be an interesting 5th test as England would want to win to send their former captain out on a high while India will be looking to bounce back after a hard loss.

The last match of a very interesting series is ending, both the teams gave it all, but in the end team England came out on the top in almost all departments. Alastair cook made his debut against team India, and it's sheer coincidence he's retiring against them, he's truly humble and one of the best captain I have ever seen. I'm expecting team India to make wholesale changes to thier team, with a series of Australia looming ahead, this is an excellent chance to experiment. I would yet mark team England as favourites and Alastair to score big, what do you'll think.

Even I want Cook to retire having a good score in the last test match. Cook is quite humble I believe and it's a beautiful time he is retiring, won the series, the team is in good form, everything is positive. And about India, I agree they need to change their setting completely, or like in this series, the result can be the same against Australia. Watching this test series, England at the moment is the best team I felt.

Alistar Cook got out at 71 and as soon as he got out their fallen more two wickets and England are now 134/4, still cook got 2nd inning batting to score 100 runs and hope to win the match.

Today fifth test and first day completely controlled by Indian bowlers they done great job for visitors and take 7 wickets with less then 200 on board now we can hope they will bowled out home team tomorrow in first session then on this beautiful pitch suitable for batting waiting for Indian battling what they will do now because they need to perform good for this last match and some good and suitable end of this series

India are in a very strong position in the fifth test match against England. England have been reduced to 198/7, in spite of a 60 run opening stand. But India must remember that they lost 2 tests from such strong positions, due to England's tail wagging. They must ensure that England do not score more than 20-30 runs tomorrow.

In this series Bowlers done very impressive job for India in every inning they stick Enlighten battling line up and not give them enough space for playing freely but every time main battling line collapse and they fail to produce good result even lost this series now in final test once again Ishant Bumrah and Jadeja all was on fire and bring them down now lets see what is response from battling line here as they need to give some good and positive result before departure from here.

England won the toss and elected to bat the first means on this pitch also may be a difficult bat in last innings. So India has to take a good lead in the first innings to avoid chasing the big total in the last innings. If India wins this match at least they will gain the confidence back otherwise they will go to the next series with a very low confidence level. With the new ball, I feel they can pick up the last three wickets quickly.

[onrise]

Probably in this test series this is the slowest start any team would have got that is just 198/7 in their 90 overs which means almost an average of 2 runs per over. Either England failed to make runs or their would be some excellent bowling by the team. But it is also a final test of Cook who made 71 runs and fans would be happy to see that.

Well its lunch on day 2 of the 5th and last test match between india and england and india are still not able to get them all out till now...again the lower order of england and butler are frustating them and this match is getting out of India's hand.

England are in commanding position as they have not lost a wicket today and playing well and already score has reached 310 runs on board. This is a good start to the team and their is a high chance they can win this test match as well.

Buttler and Broad done extra ordinary job for home team and bring back them in this match and Indian Battling line up as expected badly fail and lost all top order with 174 runs on board look like this match is also going in home way as now they can take some good lead and then in second inning if they able to done 300+ then surely its very hard for Indian Battling line up to come back in this match very poor performance from them in this all test series  is very serious concern for Indian management as they have very less time for preparing in Australian series.

England are in total control of this test match, if they can bowl India out for around 230 and take a 100 run lead into the second innings then I think they will go onto winning the test match. India really need to fight hard here with their lower order making at least 100+ runs and get as close to England's total as possible. If they can then its any ones test match to win but right now England are in control.

For England Butler and Broad gave a good innigs that is why they were able to make 300+ runs, Butler is proven success player to involved in this test series as most of the time in this test series he has come to rescue England from difficult time. Now India needs this pair to perform well and make some runs. 3rd day first session is important as if one wicket also fell then India will get all out before 250 score. Now this last test match is in 50 50 position with England having slight high chances of winning it.

India's new batsman Hanuma Vihari has made quiet an interesting start. First he was not declared out by the umpire while it was actually out, and English team didn't take the review, then he was declared out by the umpire while it wasn't actually out, and he took the review. He seems to be settling up finally and currently sitting on 25 runs overall. I've a feeling he'd score a lot more tomorrow, continuing his at-the-end-of-today momentum.

India on the wings to collapse again in this innings unless somebody in lower order help India to inch towards the England score mark which seems to be difficult now as India is behind 158 runs and only 4 wickets left.  Also England may start to feel the smell of the success in this test match itself form now.

[jjacob]

Yet again, the lower order English batsmen frustrated the Indian bowlers. India needs somebody like Shane Warne or Waqar Younis, who can polish off the tail. The Indian batsmen seeem incapable of producing big scores on these seaming pitches.

Standing ovation as Cook walks out for last England innings

https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/45466021

I'm sure retiring at the age of just 33 years wouldn't feel good.

[hubballi]

AS usual India got allout for 292 and England are leading in 2nd innings above 154, Tommorrow if they take lead above 300+ then their winning chances goes more, Cook is batting for one last time and will hope that this time will make century.

[vella85]

I thought India did pretty good to get as close to England's first innings total as they could but now they must bowl well as they don't want to be chasing 350+ runs batting last on this pitch. Cook looks in good form and wouldn't it be nice to see him go out on a high with a century which he has a huge chance at getting on 46 N/O. With Cook and Root at the crease India could be in big danger if they don't get one of them out early on day 4.
