India is actually playing better bazball than England does or atleast in the final session with run rate over 5.

All Indians wanted Jaiswal to score a hundred this time. He was in great form but sadly he got stumped out. I hope Rohit Sharma completes his another century this time. He is already in great form and have crossed 50 runs, so if this form is carried today also, then definitely he can score a hundred. By the end of today’s innings, we can easily estimate who will win the test match. India did extremely well after the first match to be honest.

Batting failure of the New Zealand team in the second test match of New Zealand vs Australia. The New Zealand batsmen did not bat that well against Australia. In the second test, the New Zealand team was bowled out for only 165 runs. If you want to win the test match against Australia, New Zealand batsmen and bowlers must perform responsibly, otherwise they can never win the test match against Australia. Because of the batting failure of the New Zealand batsmen in the second test match, they are going to lose the second test match against Australia. Australia's bowlers bowled very well in the second test match as the Australian bolar  out a strong team like New Zealand for just 162 runs. Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood bowled very well. Mitchell Starc took three wickets and Josh Hazlewood took five important wickets for New Zealand. Today's game as the New Zealand batsmen could not bat responsibly so the bowlers should bowl aggressively against Australia from the start otherwise Australia team will give New Zealand a big run lead.

In the second test match between New Zealand and Australia, the New Zealand team has already lost 5 wickets in the first innings. New Zealand team's batting performance is very bad today, they did not score much runs. However, the bowling performance of the Australian team was excellent due to which they put a lot of pressure on the New Zealand team and caused the fall of wickets. In the first test match Australia team achieved a great win against New Zealand but in the second test match New Zealand team will try to win but their batting performance doesn't seem like they will win this match. New Zealand should play with the thought that it is not so easy to beat the Australian team, moreover, the Australian team will definitely bat well in the second innings. And the lead that the New Zealand team will give, I think the Australian team can easily fill it and the chances of winning the second test match are high.

Australia Vs New Zealand

Australia won the toss and sent New Zealand into bat in the second and final Test match of the series between Australia and New Zealand. Started well by Will Young and Tom Latham. I thought New Zealand would not lose any wickets until the lunch break, but three wickets fell within half an hour before the break. Their team score at lunch break was 71/3. Hazlewood took 2 wickets, Mitchell Starc took 1 wicket. Williamson will face a tough endurance test with Daryl Mitchell after lunch.

England messed up for like the umpteenth time while Barmy army are focusing more on the beautiful vistas of Dharamshala than their team which itself says a lot if you think about it.

Jaiswal's consistency in the test format these days is truly extraordinary. Am expecting the Indians to end up giving a lead of around 100 or more.
Madlad is scoring runs for fun, it's looks like a belter so would've been great if he had stayed there for a long haul with another daddy 100. Guess he'll grab the Man of the Series award.

...and he threw away his wicket for fun too, honestly I didn't find delivery any good, it rather seemed like a lapse in judgement on Jaiswal's part, possibly misjudged due to wanting to hit every ball.

Bashir's aggression was unwarranted as there was nothing impressive in the delivery but ok wicket is wicket  Grin

This is not an unusual thing though in cricket but he took a wicket somehow so celebrated as much as he can. I just want to talk about the quality of Indian bowlers which is not getting enough praise as they deserve. I would say Indian bowlers made the Englishmen is playing ordinary cricket so far with their performances and Kuldeep again bowled really well and proved his quality, remember this is where he made his debut and got Man of the match as well.

India is actually playing better bazball than England does or atleast in the final session with run rate over 5.

5th test match between India vs England is started where India already leads 3-1 matches. I wonder about england performance today. 218-10 runs isn't a good amount of runs when it is test format match. Without Zak Crawley(79), not found any other player who did good performance in batting. This is because Kuldeep Yadav and Ravichandran Ashwin have showed their magic again by gaining 5 and 4 wickets respectively. When its come to india, they made 100 runs without falling any wickets. And till now they did 135-1 runs where Jaiswal unfortunately out but did half century alone with Rohit. Hope india will reach 300+ runs in 1st innings
After going down 3–1 and having some good experience of playing in India against quality spinners I was having feeling today we will have good performance from the English batting lineup and as they have started my feelings were going strong for their target of 350 to 400 but suddenly after sometimes I came back and check scorecard life was not as I have early morning because all were bundled out at the 218 with no batsmen were able to give any resistance to Indian spinners Kuldeep having 5 wickets and R Ashwin were with 4 wickets making all story clear how they ruin this all English inning.

At the end of the first day play now we have 135 for 1 and most chances India is heading for the another 400 with things are going clearly for the end of this series with the score of 4–1 and India is surely going to lead the WTC league table as well after having this amazing win against Bazball.

England are performing the same way in the Test series against India as England did in the 2023 World Cup. England lost the series to India due to losing three matches in a row but in the fifth T20 match I thought maybe England can get a win against India but with the way they batted in the first innings it is not possible to win against India. England scored only 218 runs against India in the first innings. If India can bat like this then there is a possibility that England will lose this match by an innings. When England were batting it seemed that the wicket was very hard and the wicket was not helping the batsmen but the Indian batsmen were batting very well on the wicket.

England had terrible start of fifth test and Indians have performed quite well on first day. England had won the first test and since then its a dry period for them in the series. Zak Crawley was the only English batsmen to score a fifty and that's why England team was bowled out for just 218 runs on first test. Eleven wickets fell on first day and all were picked by spinners. Indians dressing room must be very satisfied as they are 135 for one on completion of first day.

The host India will take on England today in the fifth and final Test match of the series. Team India has already lost three out of four matches and won three consecutive matches to seal the series. The win-loss of the fifth Test match will not affect the series win as India has already won the series. Having won three matches in a row, Team India is much ahead of England in terms of confidence. Team India will look to perform in the fifth and final T20 match as they have done in the last three matches. If the performance is normal then the result of the fifth Test match is more likely to go in favor of India.
Yes today is the final match between host India and England in their Test series. When the Test series between England and India started England showed their strength by defeating India in the first Test match. But after that, the Indian team showed how strong they are by winning three consecutive Test matches and taking the series. Today's test match is just a formality for India as whichever team wins today's test match will have no bearing on the series win.

In the fifth test match of India vs England, England team's batting failure again, England team should have batted more responsibly as England team was bowled out for only 218 runs for the test match. England batsmen should bat more responsibly as we have seen England's batting failure in the fourth test match against India also so England team should have batted responsibly in the fifth test match. If the batsmen of the England team could have batted responsibly, they would not have been all out for just 218 runs. The lead of 218 runs is very easy for India. It is expected that the Indian batsmen will end the lead of 218 runs and give England a bigger lead. England's batting failure against India is not going away so England's batsmen should have batted more responsibly Zak Crawley top scored for England with 79 runs. The way the England team performed in the fifth T20 match, it seems that they are going to lose the fifth Test match against India by a huge margin.

BTW, Dharmshala outfield looks beautiful, it looks like it's decorated with boxes.
Ideally, BCCI should go ahead and pitch the idea of a similar kind of outfield in major cities and Stadiums. If not 15-20-ish then at least go for IPL cities. It will only improve the fielding standard for Indian cricket, even in the domestic arena.

An England squad actually cannot understand the bowling action of three Indian spinners. England lost every match mainly because of the dominance of Indian spinners. In today's match basically ten out of ten wickets are occupied by spinners which means that Dharamshala wicket is completely dependent on spinners.
However, the way England's wickets fell in the last period, it seemed that such a batting disaster might happen in the case of Indian batsmen, but such a batting disaster did not happen in the case of India.

Actually Indian batsmen are very good at playing spin ball not only India but we have all cricket loving countries in South Asia they all play spin ball better than other countries. This match proved that where England's batting line-up was disrupted by Indian spin, the Indians were batting well. I don't think the Indian batsmen will face any problem as they are used to playing on this ground which makes them very easy to deal with England bowlers. India scored 135 runs for one wicket in this match with both of their opening batsmen completing fifties.Indian team is only 88 runs behind England now with captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill batting patiently.

Unless batting collapse happens like it happened with England, I expect India to give easy 200+ runs lead, they don't have any pressure to win this match so they gonna play more freely — no fear, no fearful results.

India is in a very comfortable position after day 1 in the 5th test match between India and England. Indian spinners bowled beautifully and took all 10 wickets. Apart from Zak Crawley, no other England batter was able to read them and score some runs. England got out on a below-par total on this pitch, and they have to work hard to get a favourable result out of this test. 
India is currently scored 135 runs at the cost of Jaiswal's wicket. Sharma looks in great touch, and so does Shubman. By the look of it, India will win this match easily.

Jaiswal's consistency in the test format these days is truly extraordinary. Am expecting the Indians to end up giving a lead of around 100 or more.
Jaiswal's Test career got off to a flying start. Has played only nine Tests so far, batting in 16 innings. He touched the 1000 run milestone in his short career. Jaiswal has 4 fifties, two double hundreds, three centuries in his career. Jaiswal in particular has batted brilliantly in this series, he has scored 712 runs in this series so far.

India finished the first day very well, India are 83 runs behind England so far. India's team score is 135/1. Rohit Sharma will start next day on the field with 52 runs, Gill 26 runs. If India can maintain the batting performance we saw today, I expect them to take a lead of over 200 runs.

What a fail from England middle order once again, 100 for 2 and 218 all out. I thought England would play better due to Dharamshala having temperature like their home country but nope.

Crawley played good, he has played some good innings throughout this series but have failed to convert them to hundred every time.

IMO, there should have been someone with quick reflexes on silly point, Sarfraz dropped two catches there. In big matches it can matter a lot.

BTW, Dharmshala outfield looks beautiful, it looks like it's decorated with boxes.

The England team is going to face India today in the fifth and final Test match of the series. England started the series with a fantastic win in the first match. But even then England lost three matches in a row and lost the series as well. England lost every match due to poor batting. The batsmen are not able to do well against the Indian bowlers on this Indian pitch.

In the last match we saw that the England players batted well in the first innings. They collected 353 runs. But in the second innings England team lost all the wickets to collect only 145 runs. and gave a target of only 192 runs. It is impossible to win against India by giving such a small target. Naturally, India won very easily.

India team played against Australia on this pitch of Dharmashala in 2017. And India won the match by 8 wickets. It is difficult to bat well in the second innings on this pitch. If the batsmen of England bat badly in this match as in the previous matches, then the team will lose the series 4-1. The batsmen must play well if England are to win.
The host India will take on England today in the fifth and final Test match of the series. Team India has already lost three out of four matches and won three consecutive matches to seal the series. The win-loss of the fifth Test match will not affect the series win as India has already won the series. Having won three matches in a row, Team India is much ahead of England in terms of confidence. Team India will look to perform in the fifth and final T20 match as they have done in the last three matches. If the performance is normal then the result of the fifth Test match is more likely to go in favor of India.

England team is going to be defeated in today's match out of the last three matches. England's batsmen did not think that they would bat so badly in today's match. I was hoping that in the last match maybe England's experienced batsmen could play well and finish the series 3-2. But now it looks like the series will end at 4-1.

England lost their fourth wicket for 175 runs. And England's innings stopped at 218 runs. England lost 7 wickets to collect 43 runs. We never expected England's veteran batting order to bat like this.

Zak Crawley scored the highest for England. Besides, no other batsman could bat well.

  • Zak Crawley (79)
  • Ben Duckett (27)
  • Jonny Bristol (29)
  • Joe Root (26)
  • Ben Foakes (24)

Apart from these 5 batsmen, all other batsmen's batting was very bad.

Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav destroyed England's batting order today. Ashwin managed to take 4 wickets in 11.4 overs and Kuldeep Yadav 5 wickets in 15 overs.
