The match was completely under England's control until they lost the first wicket. They were later in a sudden terrible batting disaster. No one could have imagined that even after collecting 100 runs in the first wicket partnership, he would be defeated by 157 runs. I want to give full credit to the Indian bowlers. In particular, the outcome of the match would have been different if Bumrah had not been able to catch two quick wickets from Pope and Bairstow.

Actually the first wicket partnership looked more like a surprise, because if you analyze you can see that England has batted very poorly in their second innings (in all the matches so far). Burns and Hameed gave them a head-start, but the remaining batsmen (including Joe Root) couldn't utilize it. And for India, it's just the reverse. So far they have performed better while batting second. And in India's case, the lower order have contributed massively to the total. In the second test, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Shami put up 89 runs for the 9th wicket, while for the 4th test first it was the 63-run stand between Shardul and Umesh for the 9th wicket, and then again there was a 100-run stand between Rishabh and Shardul for the 7th wicket.

What a great team performance from team India today just loved that after 100 runs behind in the first innings to winning the test match in the 5th day is some thing excellent. Specially on a flat wicket taking 10 wickets in a day was a good achievement.

Through this match, India proved that they have the potential to be the best team in the Test format. However, the future outcome of the match cannot be predicted when two strong teams play against each other. Any miracle can happen at any time in the match. It would not be surprising if England won this match.

This might've got turned to be the match of England, because England lost its first wicket on 100. Further it has lost 9 wickets for 110 runs. None could've predicted this match to turn this way. Also they've got the home ground advantage. We don't know what exactly made the batsmen end with such worse performance. From the bowling side everyone gace the best and thats the reason for this match winning.

Holy Jesus! England went from 100/1 to 210 all out. That is an insane batting unit collapse. Addition of players like Stokes, Archer etc would still probably not be enough to save this weak English batting line-up.

I expected this result after India's epic 2nd innings score, but I didn't expect England to lose by a huge margin. If India wins the next one too, it would probably be regarded as a historical achievement.

Brilliant bowling by the Indian bowlers. Everything went as planned by the Indian team. All thanks to Rohit Sharma that the team was able to score 466 in the second innings. The pressure was on the English side and they collapsed while chasing the target. After 35 years Indian won a match at the oval.

Congratulations indian cricket team for victory because I don't believe myself with the victory. How could this possible to win the match because england has 10 wickets collecting only 290 runs with 90 overs last day but India destroyed their batting line ....

On the 5th day, even a target of 200 can be challenging. On top of that, the Indian pacers were in excellent form. A lot of eyebrows were raised when the playing XI was announced. Kohli faced a lot of criticism for excluding Ashwin. But in the end, everything worked well for him. It was Shardul Thakur who made the most contribution, and if Ashwin had to be included then he would have been dropped. Another controversial selection was that of Umesh Yadav, but he also picked up crucial wickets and justified his inclusion.

India is the best team in Test cricket for the past few years, they went to Australia and despite having a terrible first match and with a depleted team due to injury they turned to series upside down and won the series even without having the best playing eleven and they are continuing that same performance in England. If India can win touring Australia and England, India can literally beat any team touring.

I thought Shardul Thakur will be the Man of the match as he played an instrumental part in this match with the bat and ball in India winning the match.

The lead for India was 213, and no one expected them to get a lead of more than 250. But the partnership between Rishabh Pant and Shardul Thakur changed everything.
I disagree. I expected a lead of 300 due to the top order batting performances and some others expected a lead closer to 350. However, I do agree with you regarding Pant and Thakur's partnership changing everything.

We don't know what exactly made the batsmen end with such worse performance. From the bowling side everyone gace the best and thats the reason for this match winning.
Didn't you watch England's recent batting performances? They have consistently proved that they are over-dependent on Root and some of them only perform now and then. The reason India won this match is due to the combination of their batting and bowling units.

Good come back by Team India in the second innings which made the things little difficult. Though England still had a good lead and should have being able to draw the test match if cannot register win, but just failed to it. A draw is what India requires in last test match to win the series else if England register win it will be a tie.

After a poor performance in the first inning, their comeback in the second inning is admirable. Every batsman on the team has tried to play well. And then they collected a huge one in the second inning. Moreover, the performance of their bowlers is commendable. It is mainly for them that India has been able to win. And England's first wicket pairing played very well. Since then, the Indian bowlers have not given a chance to any England batsman to partner. This is the only reason India has been able to win.

LOL.. it has happened multiple times in this series for England. And this time, they had a lead of 100 runs in the first innings, but wasted that completely when India came to bat for the second time. The England bowlers just can't find a way to get the lower order Indian batsmen dismissed cheaply (especially Shardul, Mohammed Shami.etc). In the second innings, at one point India was struggling at 312/6. The lead for India was 213, and no one expected them to get a lead of more than 250. But the partnership between Rishabh Pant and Shardul Thakur changed everything.

Is anyone else discovered the outcome magical! After India's epic second innings, things are just happening. The win is not an accident, rather it is a collaboration between the Indian batsman and bowlers. The batting momentum of England was threatened by the bowling attack of Bumrah and Umesh Yadav. So that's it. Congratulations to team India on their well-deserved victory.

Congratulations to the Indian team. All they need to do now is to draw the last match. A win would be even better and make it 3-1. The difference this time was the stellar display by the Indian lower order batsmen. The middle order failed completely (including Pant, Rahane and Jadeja), but the lower order added crucial runs in all the matches so far. The England bowlers allowed emotions to overcome them and were ineffective against the lower order Indian batsmen. This was the main difference between India and England.

England lost the game in the same way as they did it in the second test of this series. It was the last day of the game. England had all of their wickets remaining, but their batting lineup collapsed again. England could easily make it a draw if their batsman played with responsibility.

It's nothing new for England they have history just check this hopefully this will clear your all doubts anything can happen in cricket. https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/england-tour-of-bdesh-2016-17-1029813/bangladesh-vs-england-2nd-test-1029827/full-scorecard

Virat Kohli and the coach is getting off with their terrible performance because they have an incredible bowling lineup and Jasprit Bumrah is bowling tight line and length at a good pace and they are able to pick wickets despite the absence of Mohammed Shami and Ashwin.

Edit: Another wicket gone.
One more wicket and India wins the match, if the Indian batsman could score runs then the rest will be taken care by the bowlers and even with the team shuffling its bowlers they are able to dominate the opposition is incredible and they have the best bowling line up in world cricket. I still think Ashwin would have played this match but the bowlers have done an incredible job that the coaching team will get away with any criticism.

We just saw some beautiful falling wickets after lunch since the Indian bowlers are on fire right now. The spell from Bumrah after lunch is absolutely magical. Changed the match within a few overs. Such a classic Test match. India's fastest bowler to 100 wickets in Tests. It will take two more wickets for India to win.

This has been a big turn around in the match by the Indian bowlers. Initially when the England 4th innings started, i was favoring the Indian team but then the initial batting performance by the England openers changed my mind and i thought England may win this, but i was wrong.

The big question now is whether England will be able to save their wickets in this last session and save the match.
