In the 3rd Test match of India vs England, England team came to the field to play the 2nd Innings today. They scored 72 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in 29.4 overs. Ravindra Jadeja of India team took 3 wickets with 11 runs in 10 overs. Kuldeep Yadav 11 runs in 5.1 overs.  took 2 wickets with .England team still need 483 runs to win this match.

Has India unearthed a gem? At the age of 22, he makes a world record in Cricket and has a long career ahead of him. He might have also tied for the most sixes in an innings, in a test match(12 sixes). Could've broken it if he kept on batting. India are cruising into a comfortable win with England still need 475 runs and all they are left with is 3 wickets.

England are out of this test match. They are 50/7 in the fourth innings, chasing a humungous target of 557 runs. Indian spinners come to the party in the 4th innings. I think today will be the last day of this test match.
Jaiswal played a blinder in the 3rd innings; what a talent. Unlucky for Gill, he got out after scoring 91 runs. Sarfaraz also did well and played with positive intent. I think this is the first time an opponent declared the innings since the start of the Baz-Ball era.

The England team has faced a batting disaster. After India set a huge target of 557 runs, I was sure that England would not win. Even then I thought England would be able to collect something like 2500-300 runs. But scoring 100 runs is challenging for England right now. England lost the ninth wicket for 91 runs.

Jadeja is bowling very well in the second innings. The pitch is also helping the spinners. Jadeja bowled 11 overs, conceded only 20 runs, and picked up four wickets. Kuldeep Yadav also picked up 2 wickets and Aswin took 1 wicket. England will probably lose their last wicket today.

Bairstow needs to sit out, he has done nothing in this series. I'd say same for Root too but he can get important breakthroughs, and his name may give psychological assurance to the teammates so I guess it's alright. Anderson on his way to 700 wickets, but ineffective in this match.

Hoping to see at least one game with full 5 day play in remaining matches. England disappointed so much today.

England team managed to collect only 122 runs in the second innings. The match was over in four days. England team conceded a humiliating defeat by a huge margin of 434 runs. Despite being able to score 319 runs in the first innings with the help of Duckett, none of the batsmen in the squad could play well in the second innings.

Bairstwo and Root have been erratic performers for a long time. But both are one of the most experienced and important players in England's squad. So the England management cannot keep these two players out of the squad. England management has many more talented batsmen. They should rest Bairstwo and Root and give a chance to a new player.

I think England finished the fifth day's play a day early. If the game ends a day early, you get a full day to rest and practice for the next test. Ha ha lol!!
I present this because the Test match ended a day ago after being defeated by a huge margin of 434 runs. Couldn't have imagined that it would be all-out in one session, so it happened in today's third Test match.
England's innings was for Jadeja, Ashwin and Kuldeep. These three spinners have collected eight wickets out of ten wickets.

In the 3rd Test match of India vs England, England team came to the field to play the 2nd Innings today. They scored 72 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in 29.4 overs. Ravindra Jadeja of India team took 3 wickets with 11 runs in 10 overs. Kuldeep Yadav 11 runs in 5.1 overs.  took 2 wickets with .England team still need 483 runs to win this match.

The second innings of England did not show the performance as expected, England played the second innings completely badly. I thought England would not win the match chasing the target of 557 runs but I thought the match would be played on the fifth day. India stopped England by just 122 runs. England kept losing wickets from the star. India's spin bowling attack Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravichandran Ashwin completely destroyed England's batting line-up. Ravindra Jadeja in particular bowled brilliantly and took five wickets in the second innings. India got a historic win in today's Test match, the biggest Test win for India by 434 runs. India lead the five-match Test series 2-1.

[Haunebu]

England should be happy that they won at least once against the Indians on their own turf because I was expecting them to get whitewashed pretty comfortably considering their current form.

Bazball has proven to be an overrated approach which works only under specific conditions. England needs to adapt better to different conditions.

[Patrol69]

I was sure that India would declare an innings against England, but I did not think that India would be able to all out England so quickly. I thought if India gave England a target of 450 to 500 then on the fifth day England would be all out before reaching the target but every time India declared the innings and when England came back to chase the target in the second innings they lost one wicket after another. England lost wickets one after the other and the Indian bowlers pressed the England batsmen harder and thus bowled out the English batsmen for just 122 runs in the second innings. India secured a big win by 434 runs against England.

The second innings saw individual bests for India by Yashasvi Jaiswal, who hit a double century and Ravindra Jadeja took 5 wickets off the bowling.
Congratulations Team India Congratulations to all Indian team members including Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ravindra Jadeja.

I want him to play as he is an asset for the Indian team 

Whether he is out of form or he is out of shape getting his wicket is the easiest thing that India can accomplish. He is a gem for the Indian side as he is only in the team to bat and I do not expect him to field well with his shape.

BTW, this non-experienced Indian batting lineup won the third test, and the retired players from England are not happy with the way the third test ended. Why would they as England's whole team get out on a pitch that is supposed to be batting-friendly? They never expected the Indian bowling unit to be so strong as they forgot that India was playing in India.

Today, England's batting lineup has been crushed by India's spin magic.Ravindra Jadeja gave a solid performance today and managed to lead his team to a great win. Many of us thought England might not win the Test match but they would bat well but in the end they failed to do that too. Ravindra Jadeja's brilliant all-rounder has given India a 2-1 lead in the Test series already.In this Test match, Jaswal completed his second double century of his career, which is even a record for an Indian player. Ravindra Jadeja was adjudged Man of the Match for his impeccable performance in this Test match.

India was able to win pretty easily in the end. England was trailing from the very start of the match. They could not get anywhere near the score that India was able to put on in the first innings. And after that, the score was just snowballing out of hand for England. and let's be honest the second innings from England was absolutely miserable. England was unable to do anything in the second innings. Jadeja was absolutely unplayable in the second innings for England. I guess that did a good thing by choosing him alongside Kuldeep Yadav.

India vs England 3rd Test match India batsmen performed brilliantly as they beat England by a huge margin of 434 runs. The only reason why England team lost their third test match was their poor batting against India England players did not perform well which led them to lose by 434 runs against India. England's batsmen could not bat and bowl very well. India's batsmen have performed exceptionally well especially Ravindra Jadeja who has taken 5 wickets.

Both India batting and bowling have been very good. India's batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal surprised everyone with his brilliant batting, not doing well in the first innings but scoring an unbeaten 214 in the second innings. Yashasvi Jaiswal played only 7 Test matches out of which 2 scored double centuries which is commendable.

Ravindra Jadeja did very well both batting and bowling scored a century in the first innings but did not get a chance to bat in the second innings but bowled brilliantly taking 5 wickets alone which is commendable. As India has won 2 out of 3 matches it is expected that India will win the series.

Bazball has proven to be an overrated approach which works only under specific conditions. England needs to adapt better to different conditions.

India would have won the first match too, but their batting lineup collapsed unexpectedly. I was also thinking that India will whitewash England in this test series. England batting style was standard in the first three test matches. They couldn't follow the Bazball strategy in this condition. Although I thought that England might get some success through the Bazball method in the second innings of this match as the pitch was looking good for batting. But the failure of their top order batsman has proven me wrong.

India improved their batting and bowling performance in the second and third test matches compared to the first test match which enabled them to win these two test matches. The way India gave their performance in the first test match, many thought that maybe India is going to lose this test series to England. But from there all the Indian players have come back well and they are constantly giving good performances.One batsman of Indian team to talk about is Jaswal who scored double centuries in two consecutive innings. Looking at the performance of the Indian players, it looks like India is going to win the Test series 4-1.

After the very poor performances in the World Cup in England cricket, there has been no improvement in England's cricket, instead it has continued to deteriorate.
Today, England's cricket is called into question when a Test playing team like England gets all out in just 39 overs. What actually happened in England cricket was a huge defeat of England by 434 runs in a highly competitive Ashes series against the one-time World T20 champions.

It is once again proven that there is no competition at least in the test format for India. Australia is the only team that can trouble them, at least occasionally. However, I am not sure whether they will be able to perform at the same level once the golden generation retires (Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin.etc). The younger players like Iyer and Gill doesn't have the same consistency.

I disagree. India is a powerful team across all formats for sure, but saying that they have little competition in the test format is inaccurate. They haven't won a single WTC trophy yet which speaks volumes.

However, I am not sure whether they will be able to perform at the same level once the golden generation retires (Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin.etc). The younger players like Iyer and Gill doesn't have the same consistency.

The younger players are inconsistent now, but they might improve and perform way more consistently in the future. Also, Pant might return too which would be a big boost.
