England vs India third ODI 2026 part 2

 I just caught the final five overs of the England innings whilst waiting for my bus home, incredible batting by England and finished on 387/3. The total confirms that India cannot live without Jasprit Bumrah, who didn’t play today.  It was fun listening to Jos Butler playing twenty/twenty style at the death. Someone in the Indian team needs to hit a near double hundred to even have a chance of making the total.  

England vs New Zealand 3rd test day 5

Congratulations New Zealand, well played.  Good luck for the future Ben Stokes, thanks for the memories. 

England vs New Zealand 3rd test day 3

I'm listening to BBC Test Match Special as I write this, England are all out on the first innings. This final test has swung from one side to another.  Dare I say that test cricket is more exciting and absorbing than the football world cup?

England vs New Zealand 2nd test day 5

This test match proves that England currently cannot live without Ben Stokes, but at least England managed to limp into the last day, leaving the door open for an unthinkable miracle.
