India win by 151 runs and they deserved to win after completely out playing a plucky England on the last day. Excellent match. Bring on the next test.
Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!
It worked a treat for Bumrah and co to provoke England (England players lost their minds on the final day)... but if you're deliberately bowling no balls, that's crossed the line.K wrote:Why so many no balls from Bumrah?
It's not deliberate, is it??
The umps in this match are among the best in the business. But they should have told Bumrah that if he's doing it deliberately, they'll force him out of the attack.
It brings back memories of Ambrose's deliberate no balls in that WACA Test, when Oz were certain to lose. They "didn't work", i.e. they just leaked runs without hitting the batsmen, but it was shameful.

Third Test starts tonight, our time.
"India captain Virat Kohli has suggested England "provoked" a match winning reaction from his team in their emotion-charged second Test.
The tourists took a 1-0 lead in the five-game series after claiming a 151-run win at the recent Lord's Test, earning bragging rights following an extended war of words in the middle."
