Test match between Australia and New Zealand two teams performed so badly New Zealand team which I did not imagine. The New Zealand team had so much fall of wickets that they lost all their wickets to collect only 162 runs. Australia team won the first test match and Australia team can win the second test match. Test match wickets should be protected by long performances and score good runs to defeat the opposing team. But the New Zealand team's performance in that regard was very poor, Australia's bowler Hazelwood collected five wickets alone. The New Zealand team basically lost to him because there was so much wicket pressure that the New Zealand team could not score many runs
Again, when the tail starts wagging in test cricket, it's genuinely a treat to watch for the batting side and an extremely frustrating period for the bowling unit.
Kudos to the Kuldeep-Bumrah duo for stitching a valuable partnership. The scorecard and lead are looking good now.
Especially kuldeep and how he evolved his batting style like top order grinder, he always known for hanging around with a batter in the other end but in this series he took that to next level and really frustrated the opposition by facing more balls than half of their batting unit.
India already got enough runs as lead to go for an innings defeat.
Indian team players have performed well in the match between India vs England. In the 5th Test, England scored only 218 runs and lost a complete wicket. However, on the second day, the Indian team came down to bat and collected 473 runs with the loss of 8 wickets. Indian team batsmen Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill scored a century which made the fans of Indian team very happy. Shubman Gill scored 110 runs and Rohit Sharma scored 103 runs and they had a great partnership. Moreover, some other Indian batsmen scored half-centuries and their moments of play were more magnificent. Every Indian player has batted well and scored good runs, but the Australian team has neither bowled nor batted very well which is why they are in the current situation. However, the Indian team batted on the second day and gave England a lead of 255 runs, but the Indian team can collect some more runs on the third day. If the England team can put up a good batting performance going into the third day then surely they will be able to fill the lead given by India but England will have to improve their game.
In the test match between Australia and New Zealand, the Aussies are in complete control of the game and will easily win the match. New Zealand bowled out on 162 runs in the 2nd session. Another brilliant performance from Aussies pacers. Hazelwood took a fifer, while Starc got 3 wickets. Australian openers also went cheaply, but Labuschagne is finding some form back and is a positive sign for Australia. Henry took 3 wickets and bowled in good channels. Still, a lot of batting to come for Australia; they will be looking for a score over 300 to get a comfortable position in the match.
New Zealand vs Australia 2nd test match New Zealand team batting is really disappointing because New Zealand team is performing very well but they are not performing well against Australia. Especially their batting failure is showing up after the defeat against Australia in the first Test match. New Zealand batsmen should have batted more responsibly in the second test match. The New Zealand team was all out for 162 runs. In the second test match, Australia bowlers bowled very well as New Zealand bowlers bowled out only 162 runs. Josh Hazlewood bowled very well and took five wickets. Australia is batting with a lead of 162 runs, but although Australia is under a bit of pressure after losing wickets in the beginning, Australia will easily overcome the lead of runs given by New Zealand and give New Zealand a big lead. Let's see how many runs Australia can give New Zealand a lead in the end. 
India made 473/8 at the end of the 2nd day. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill scored hundreds, and the 171-run partnership between these batters provided the Indian team a solid base to launch a counterattack. Both of them bowled out on brilliant deliveries. Padikkal and Sarfaraz also scored their respective fifties but could not convert it to a big score. The lower order went cheaply, and now the tail is showing some resistance. At the moment, the lead is 255, and another 50 runs to this lead might be enough for an inning victory. Shoaib Bashir took 4 wickets. England's chances to win the match are almost over after today's performance by Indian batters.

India closes the day with 473-8, with 255 runs lead, I feel match has already slipped from England's hands.
England were all out for just 218 runs in their first innings compared to a lead of 473 runs i.e. 255 runs for India to win with an innings to spare.If Kuldeep, Jadeja and Ashwin spin properly on the third day, then England will be all out before 200 runs. Because the current England squad is not a big opponent for Kuldeep Jadeja and Ashwin.
India vs England Fifth Test match England team was bowled out for only 218 runs due to batting failure of England team. India started batting with a lead of 218 runs, Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma also batted well. Yashasvi Jaiswal did not score much and got out after scoring 57 runs. However, Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma both batted responsibly Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma both got centuries. The current score of the Indian team is 473 runs for 8 wickets. Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav if these two players can get some runs, then India will give a bigger lead to England.
India is killing it. Though the performance of the lower batting order had not been as good as the top ones but the real batsmen had done their job for India.
Sometimes top order plays good, sometimes lower order plays good but as long as either of them plays well, team is gold.

India would be trying to get quick runs on the morning session tomorrow either being all out or declaring at 300+ lead. And letting England bat trying to get some wickets in the day. It would be extremely difficult for England to win it or drag it to draw. This could even be the shortest test of the tournament if England performs similar to their first innings.
I don't think there would be any need to declare, Kuldeep-Bumrah may be able to gather 20-30 runs and one of them will fall, even if that doesn't happen, go biggie, at least have fun and get out instead of declaring at this point.
The fifth Test match of India vs England batting on the first day, the England team scored 218 runs and got all out. England team's batting performance was very poor in today's match due to which they could not score much, and they got out easily. But in the second innings on Day 2, India are batting and the way they are batting is really interesting. India has already managed to complete the target set by England to give them a huge lead, and they have lost four wickets at the moment. With India playing so well today they will be able to score 500 plus runs and if they score this England will never be able to complete the team and lose the match. We have seen that out of four matches, England won only one match and India won three matches. So the fifth Test match is also in India's possession, at the moment India has collected 377 runs with the loss of four wickets and has given a lead of 159 runs.
Indian team has shown a great response through his quality batters to be honest after dismissal of Jaiswal i wasn't expecting thier top order to scored such brilliantly after so many failures of thier top order in recent matches of the test series, anyway it's a great indication for indian team because thier few batters were facing trouble and now they regain thier form which will be a positive point for them in upcoming world cup. Anyway indian side scored a decent solid target and also they have edge on thier opponent through his quality spinners so I am sure thier opponent will not be able to chased down required target also thier opponent already lose the series so I am sure they will not take it seriously. Hope it will be 4-1 victory for indian team on thier home landJaiswal: 2 double 100s + 3 50s and a total of 712 runs
Gill: 2 100s + 2 50s (which include 91 run out dismissal), a total of 452 runs
Rohit: 2 100s and 1 50 and a total of 400 runs

England were all out for just 218 runs in their first innings compared to a lead of 473 runs i.e. 255 runs for India to win with an innings to spare.England's performance in every test match on Indian pitch was very poor. India has created a spin friendly pitch. They have been able to take advantage of home matches. But England is an experienced team. They really needed to come to India with full preparation. England's players have played badly in every match. The batsmen could not bat well. Every batsmen's performance is very erratic. At the same time England team is not getting good bowling from the bowlers. On this pitch, England lost 10 wickets and collected only 218 runs, and now India team lost 8 wickets and collected 473 runs. India took a huge lead of 255 runs.

In the first innings, none of England's batsmen could last long at the crease against the spin of Kuldeep and Ashwin. Zak Crawley scored the highest 79 runs for the team. Besides, no other batsman could collect even 30 runs. India can probably take a lead of 280 runs. I doubt if England team can muster up to 280 in the second innings.

Well, 5 down at the end of the day would've been great but lost 3 extra wickets, The 217 lead is healthy but India could've finished the game by out batting England completely.
The last 3 wickets of Jurel, Jaddu and Ashwin look bad here. Jurel should get the benefit of the doubt but Jaddu and Ashwin's dismissal looks bad and it felt like Ashwin forgot how to bat, not a good outing with the bat on his 100th test match.
Ashwin 0, Ravichandran Ashwin was dismissed for zero runs on the way to 500 runs in India's first innings, which is the only record of zero runs. However, the performance of the Indian batsmen in this innings is commendable.The last 3 wickets of Jurel, Jaddu and Ashwin look bad here.

However, Jaspreet Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav have been able to make a partnership of 45 runs so far. If India declares an innings of 500 runs then it is very likely that India will win by dropping an innings.

India is in lead of 255 runs in the end of 2nd day. A century from Rohit Sharma and Shubham Gill and a fifty for Yashasvi Jaiswal, Devdutt Padikkal and Sarfaraz Khan.

Rohit and Shubman Gill's 171-run stand for the second wicket led India to a big total. Shubman Gill could not stay on the pitch for long after Rohit Sharma got out. Sarfaraz Khan & Devdutt Padikkal added 97 runs for the fourth wicket. Debutant Devdutt Padikkal scored 65 runs in today's match, Sarfraz Khan also scored 56 runs. India team score is now 443/8 and India has lead by 225 runs. 13 more overs will be bowled today. The match is completely under India's control, there is a 100% chance that India will win this match. We may see England's second innings batting at the first station tomorrow.

Padikkal and Sarfaraz both made fifty and got out and after tea break. Padikkal got couple edges and got lucky but Sarfaraz Khan played good, I liked his straight lofted drive and upper cut, now names might not be correct but you know which shots I'm talking about.
Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for Anderson to complete his 700th wicket, it's been good while now, don't you think? Also i have observed that he's not been as destructive in other tests as he was in 2nd.

Indian batting unit has the complete freedom to go with what they really wanted to and the lead is over 200 so there has to be some miracle of India has to lose this match from this situation.
I expected Stokes to bowl but getting a wicket of centurion in the very first ball he bowled in years is interesting. And he almost picked another one too in the next over.
At this moment 8 wickets down and so far spinners are taking the wickets, Jimmy may aim the tailenders to reach the milestone especially Siraj can be a good candidate.

Team India is best suited to play cricket as they have performed very well so far in this fifth Test match today. The two batsmen Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill performed very well forming a partnership, both of them scored centuries. Rohit Sharma scored 103 runs off 162 balls and Shubman Gill scored 110 runs off 150 balls. Collecting these two batsmen has given India a 181-run lead over England so far. In today's match, the England team could not put any pressure in terms of bowling, the Test game is mainly about protecting the wicket and performing for a long time. Which the Indian team performed but the England team failed to protect the wicket and perform for a long time.
