England 5/103 at lunch, still 156 behind India's first innings score.
Significant achievement here by the English, they stand on the precipice of their 3rd moral series victory in a row following their moral victory in the Ashes and the ODI World Cup. The fact that they ACTUALLY haven't won any of these competitions is clearly beside the point. They're playing their way, entertaining (and losing) and are clearly the Moral Victors.

Give me a real victory instead of a moral victory any time 🤓

England all out for 195, India win by an innings and 64 runs. Not quite the margin P4S was predicting, but we all know how well his predictions turn out.
So while the england team fly home, seated in first class on their inflatable donut cushions to protect their sodomised rectums, they can celebrate their moral victory.

So, I was wrong - but not by much.  |

Good test for Ashwin:
4/51 (11.4) & 5/77 (14).
But a 5-ball duck, bowled by Hartley.
Looks like FTB Bairstow tried to slog his way out of his form slump. Before the match, Vaughan said there might not be a Test #101 for him.
29 (18 ) & 39 (31). |

| ^ At least he was playing away from home. His series average of 23.8 away in India doesn't look as wonky as the home series average of 17.5 in New Zealand by the "World's Best Batsman". Still, maybe neither of them will play a 101st Test. |

Bumrah took 19 wickets in 4 Tests. He'll be all for the next 8 months... looking forward to destroying Smith's defective technique opening.
Bailey will have to live with his stupidity of letting Smith open. |
