Easy to say now and this not done yet - but in terms of the players and conditions - England have been great

You can, there's a way to be aggressive but running down the wicket to a turning ball against a man in the wickets just isn't it.
I agree with this. Yes you have to play faster, but running down the on this wicket against a guy with a 5 for..

What an incredible result after the first innings. Well done Hartley and well done Pope and well done to all of them.

Edit. Great win for the Barmey Army.

Good chance we see 2 day test matches in the remaining series. But scary thing is our batsmen can't play the spinners. And hartley looks more than decent.

Fun series this would be.

I have no idea why the pitches are like that because India have a fantastic pace attack and a pitch which utilises both spin and pace will be great for them.

One of the most incredible test matches for the extreme swings in dominance from both sides. Well done England. Should be a cracking series.
