We review the second Test between India and England in Visakhapatnam – where Jasprit Bumrah powered India to a 106-run win.
Talking Points:
- A celebration of Test cricket
- A series with echoes of the 2016-17 home series v Australia
- Are England really playing Bazball?
- India's decision to play five bowlers even with an inexperienced batting line-up
- Does anyone think of drawing a Test match these days?
- Jasprit Bumrah: an artist operating on a different plane to the rest
- James Anderson's spell and the mystery around how little he bowls in India
- Did England pick one spinner too many?
- Yashasvi Jaiswal's crackling double-hundred
- Shubman Gill making the most of his luck to a fine Test hundred
- Do these pitches give India the best chance v England?
