England India Daily, 5th Test, The Oval, Day 3: It was Yashasvi Jaiswal's day at The Oval, as India pressed home the advantage of a weakened and inexperienced England attack. What a knock from the opener. 50s from Akash Deep and Ravindra Jadeja, and late fireworks from Washington Sundar kept the foot on the throat of the weary hosts. And to top it off, a Mohammed Siraj yorker to castle Zak Crawley completed the visitor's superb day. How will England approach the chase with so much time? We all know the answer to that. But if any team can hunt a big target, roared on by a parochial crowd, it's the Bazballers. Daniel Norcross joins Ben Jones.

England India Daily, 4th Test, Old Trafford Day 2: Zak Crawley continued his love of the Old Trafford pitch as he and Ben Duckett set up a potential first innings lead for England, but can they arrest their aversion to centuries? India's bowlers shook off a sleepy start to finish the day strongly, however, and Jasprit Bumrah (who else) caused trouble as stumps drew near. It was the worst possible news for Rishabh Pant, who confirmed a series-ending foot fracture, but even that won't stop him from having a say in the Test as he bravely came back out to bat in the morning session. Earlier, it was Ben Stokes (who else) for England. Daniel Norcross joins Ben Jones from Old Trafford to dissect where today leaves the series.

England were all over on Day 2 of the fourth Test between India and England in the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy Test series. India started the day in a good position but were unable to capitalise, as poor cricket and good play from England wrapped the innings up, despite a cameo from Rishabh Pant.

However, after the spinners came on England struggled again, losing 5 wickets for 8 runs. Kuldeep did the damage again as he picked up Crawley, as well as the key wicket of Ben Stokes. Then Ashwin did his thing to help clean up the tail.
