Nepal was supposed to be the next team to emerge from Asia, after Bangladesh and Afghanistan, given that there is strong support for the game at the grassroot level. But they could manage only 95 runs against Hong Kong in a 50 over match. They have a long way to go!

Yes..this is really poor from india specially the lower middle order of india has almost done nothing in the batting departement for india...even if they have scored 20 or 30 runs each india would have won easily...india do need to make some changes now

The problem is that the Indian batsmen are so used to playing in flat tracks. There are only one or two grounds in India, that support seam bowling (Mohali in Punjab is an example). The BCCI need to improve its facilities, if it wants the batsmen to perform abroad.

Did you notice that in second innings MM Ali, right-hand off-spinner took four wickets? Pitch was supporting spin bowling more compared to seam bowling. Indians are good at playing spin bowling but this team failed to play against this bowler both in first and second innings. It is easy to blame on the pitch but the fact is this Indian team was not prepared well enough to play on England ground. The last match lost interest now and only India can try to reduce their losing margin to 2-3 otherwise it will be 1-4.

Nowadays BCCI is looking towards opening new grounds in highland areas such as Dharamshala and Siliguri. These grounds may be able to support pace bowling and may produce international quality fast bowlers. Also, from this year onward the northeastern states are being allowed to participate in the Ranji trophy. So there is a chance that highland cities such as Imphal and Gangtok may witness a few first-class matches.

This was a great test match as there were a lot of ups and downs through out and it was tough to pick the winner. England were just the better team at certain stages of this test match. For me it was Moeen Ali who was the game changer through this test match taking 9 wickets in the match and was the one to get the 2 danger men in Kohli and Rahane in India's second innings. After these to feel India feel apart and it was game over. Congrats to England on winning the series.

As expected, England managed to win this test match. The Indian bowlers have performed well this series, but were let down by the Indian batsmen. It was never going to be easy chasing a moderate total in the fourth innings.The minute India lost early wickets, it all went downhill.

The pitch conditions supported the pace bowlers and that is the reason why they performed so well. But the Indian batsmen (with the exception of Kohli) needs to perform in such conditions.

In this whole 4 test match Pujara played only one innings good but even then he was kept in the team, it was really bad to know that after good bowling performance Indian batsman after Kohli and Rahane partnership other were not able to stand and score some runs. It shows that This all batsman and all rounders are only good for T20 and odi innings , They are not fit for Test match. England well played and won the match, won the series and even took the no.1 spot in Test cricket

Indians do not have good test batsman replacement in this current team so they are keeping those guys who have failed for a long time. Everyone wants to score more runs in IPL to make money but no one interested in technical skills to play long in test matches. Look at the second innings scorecard, four guys got out for zero runs and another two guys for a single digit. The required total was not that really high but none of them tried to build a good partnership. Totally it was the worst performance from Indian batsman.

England won the match and with that they also won the series. Poor performance by team as they were 123/4 and finally all out in 184 runs. This is not unacceptable from the such a good team that get all out chasing a score where it had to defend the match to maintain the level in the series.

Bad performance by English team but even worse performance by Indian team. Even though England won this match, I'd still say they need to work a lot. They seriously need to include more young cricketers and get rid of their senior-most cricketers including Joe Root and Alestair Cook.

England played pretty well, enough to win a game. And about the senior member, even I feel the same. I guess its a great time for them to retire and new players should get chances. Indian team needs to take their test performances very seriously, Captain Kohli might show great performance in ODI and T20, but he needs to work on the test matches.

If England adds another 30 to 40 runs then they got an upper hand to win this match based on last innings batting performance by visitors team unless Virat (Indian captain) do some magic to chase those runs. I think we can take some risk to bet on England if one wants a bet on this match. If India wants to win this match then the rest of the two-wickets they need to pick up as soon as possible.

Hmm... as usual the responsibility falls on Virat. He now needs to make up for the pathetic performance by the other players such as Ravichandran Ashwin. For how long this will go on?
I think they can add 30-40 more runs and can stretch the lead around 270 runs as curran is still at the crease and he is a positive alrounder and broad and anderson also have the ability to hand around for some time and score some runs

India will need to get some quick wickets or they are going to lose this match and along with it this series as well. It will be very difficult to chase a total close to 300. They will have a fighting chance if they manage to take the remaining English wickets for around 20 runs.

India have lost 3 quick wickets on score of just 46 runs. Result is for sure of this match. India now require 199 runs and only 7 wickets left. this would be tough unless somebody stays on the pitch and make 50 which will help them to reach near the target.

England are already two wickets down now at the score of just 34...then need their captain root to step up now and play a big innings atleast a 50+ score is required from Hm now or England will be in trouble
England lost 6 wickets and they lead by 154 runs, Captain root played his role but now everything on Buttler hands if he sticks for a long time and tries to make target 250+ runs then there is a chance for England to win this match. Now it's 50 - 50 chance for both teams let's see India can make this series 2 - 2 each or not.
Now i think england are ahead after good partenerships between butler stokes and after that butler and curren...the later is still in the crease and i think he will get the lead past 250 tomorrow and that would  be very difficult for india to chase down
Now this match is balanced we can say any body game because England late order batsmen done great job for them and any score above 250+ is very hard to chase for any team Indian battling line is already struggling and just Kohli and Pujara in some good form Buttler play very positive role with Stoke and Curran these 106 runs could be vital and if Curran can manage nearly 30 to 35 runs with last two batsmen this could bring India more under pressure

If England adds another 30 to 40 runs then they got an upper hand to win this match based on last innings batting performance by visitors team unless Virat (Indian captain) do some magic to chase those runs.

This 4th test has been great so far as both teams are fighting hard for the win and still its anyone's game to win. If Curran can stick around and do what he did in the 1st innings then England could potentially get a 280+ run lead which I think will be tough for India to chase down. The key to England winning now is Broad and Anderson sticking around as long as they can with Curran to get as many runs as they can. India will need to bat a lot better if they have a chance at winning this test match. Its going to be an interesting 4th day.

England are 260/8 taking 233 runs lead, if india take down 2 wickets early in 4th day then i think their winning chance is more as from 4th day batting will be easy as swing in bowling will become low. So i hope that this game india will win and equal the series.
