Fantastic sportsmanship at the end from the England team, each of them went up to both Indian batsmen, reminiscent of Edgbaston 2005.

Whilst it was getting tight I never lost hope and that was a fantastic test match.

Great Test match, well done to India for a great  fight today but Siraj can do one. Glad he was the one feeling like a muppet at the end.

Their slow run chase fucked them over in my opinion. We were getting stressed not getting the wickets but they were still miles away at the pace they were going.

It’s a tremendous Test match, and fair play to India for the resolve shown.

Lovely to see Archer back and at express pace.

A great advert for test cricket which is what is needed to ensure the best format of the game survives.

It’s not shit bowlers, demonstrably, but they’re not bowling well enough.

Its been 3 matches and 6 innings now. This is just the level they are.

This is like calling Bronte to the thread.

What a fantastic match that was.  Lovely to see Archer getting back into test cricket.

What a marvellous game of cricket, fantastic from both sides. Love the bit of needle during the game, you only get that as rivalries build over a 5 Test series. Equally good to see handshakes and respect at the end.
