England are 35 runs away from closing out a 3-1 series win over India, thanks to Harry Brook, Joe Root and an Englishman in a Bangladesh ODI top. England went all in while we were popping feathers in the letterbox for some reason.

More offensive personal milestones by India. Statistically one of the flattest summers on record. This is starting to look familiar for cricket in England. India’s lost 15 tosses in a row. Shubbers looked regal again before being involved in one of the worst runouts in cricket. Punter loves the sound of Shubmans bat on ball. Josh Tongue hits some very interesting areas before taking 2 incredible wickets. English bowling attac...

England lead by too many. Today the series is over. England bat India into the dirt. India’s 9th defeat in 12 test matches. The wheels have fallen off. Joe Root is now the 2nd highest run scorer ever. They’ve flown Punter in as a human punching bag. 

Can India secure a heroic draw?

It was a slow-burn of a game that burst into life every now and then, it was only befitting that it would go into the final session and end like that. Some are calling it the worst close game in history, but we would never say that.
