AN Cook the opener of the English team scored 147 runs off 286 balls. He completed his last innings with smashing fourteen boundaries.

When his wicket fallen then it happened like this (94.2 Vihari is on a hat-trick. Would you believe it? He has dismissed two centurions in two balls. Cook looks to cut, the ball skids through, and the edge settles in Pant’s gloves. Every single Indian fielder shakes his hand. The last walk back for Cook. A big applause from the stands. Another generous reaction from the crowd. Cook takes one look back, raises his bat, waves it overhead, and walks off. Bairstow pats his back too. What a career. The old batsman has left the crease. And we know that he is done 321/4).

England won the toss and elected to bat.

He smashed twelve 4s and a maximum in his beautiful innings, JM Bairstow † contributed 18 runs, BA Stokes 37, JC Buttler has gone with duck this time, SM Curran 21 and AU Rashid 20.

GH Vihari scored 56 runs off 124 deliveries on his debut when his wicket dismissed then it was (76.4 stretchings forward, a snick off the edge as the ball turns back in from a tight fourth-stump line and up goes the finger! But hang on Vihari reviews. His bat and pad were very adjacent … but so too was the ball. UltraEdge confirms a medley of noise at the moment of impact, and the third umpire has ‘no reason to overturn’… England have their wicket! 237/7).

Ind v Eng highlights today – fifth test day three from Kennington Oval, London (England) Sunday 9th September 2018. Yesterday England started their play from 198 with seven wickets down and reached 332. It was the brilliant performance result by JC Buttler and SCJ Broad. SCJ Broad scored 38 runs off 59 balls and out.

When it was (117.3 KL Rahul is not dropping anything here. This is a sensational catch. A catch that is not quite appreciated enough when watching on TV. Broad tries to drive a length ball over mid-on, gets too much under it and hangs it up in the air, but it looks like it will clear Rahul. Rahul, though, sprints back, keeping an eye on the ball, sees it fall over his shoulder, and then dives full length to catch it. Rahul has had a great catching series 312/9).

England won the toss and elected to bat.

JC Buttler faced 133 deliveries in his beautiful innings and scored 89 runs. He completed his innings with the help of six 4s and two 6s. When his wicket fallen then it happened like this (121.6 and Jadeja ends the innings. India refuses to give him the easy single to manipulate the strike, and it works for them. Buttler looks for the big shot to a length ball, it is not on, the ball turns, and takes a thick edge to slip where Rahne takes a good catch. Buttler ends on 89 and walks off to a big applause 332/10). RA Jadeja took four wickets, JJ Bumrah and I Sharma took three wickets each of them.

The opener of the Indian team KL Rahul scored 37 runs and gone, S Dhawan 3, CA Pujara 37, V Kohli (c) 49, AM Rahane duck, RR Pant † 5. GH Vihari 25 not out and RA Jadeja 8 not out. Till stumps day two India trail by 158 runs with 4 wickets remaining in the innings.

Ind v Eng highlights today – fifth test day two from Kennington Oval, London (England) Saturday 8th September 2018. JE Root won the toss and decided to bat first, England scored 198 runs in day one’s play with seven wickets down. The opener of the team AN Cook played very good innings with scoring 71 runs off 190 deliveries. When his wicket dismissed then it was (63.2 there will be no hundred for Cook unless he gets it in the third innings. There is a disappointed sigh at The Oval but then the crowd rises for Cook as he goes off after playing one on for 71. This is on a length, just outside off, possible with the switched seam position to send it back in. Cook is surprised by the movement back in, and gets the inside edge as he looks to defend 133/2).

KK Jennings contributed 23 runs, MM Ali scored his fifty and out when it was (82.3 edged, gone, Moeen snicks one at last! A carbon-copy of pretty much anyone of the 30-40-odd plays-and-misses that he has totted up in his innings. Lifting off the deck, arrow-straight line on off stump, and demanding a stroke. The end of a diligent, self-denying knock. And India’s hard-working day of toil gets better! 177/6). JE Root (c) gone with duck same as JM Bairstow † and SM Curran, BA Stokes scored 11 runs. JC Buttler 11 not out, AU Rashid 4 not out. I Sharma took three wickets, JJ Bumrah took two same as RA Jadeja who also took two wickets.

England lead by 233 runs with 2 wickets remaining till the end of day three. AN Cook scored 12 runs off 39 deliveries and out, KK Jennings contributed 36 runs, when his wicket dismissed then it was (31.5 pitched up, this nips in to hit the back pad – given! Jennings looks ruefully to his captain, then decides to review, but I don’t think this is going to save him… Yep, that’s plumb, Hawk-Eye projecting the ball would have crashed into leg stump! It stayed a touch low, which might encourage England’s bowlers when it comes to the fourth innings but will be no consolation for Jennings. What a moment to strike! 92/3).

MM Ali has gone with just nine runs, Captain of the team JE Root scored 48 runs, with the help of six boundaries, when his wicket dismissed then it was (45.6 tapped to the leg side, Stokes calls him through… and there’s a direct hit at the striker’s end! Has Root been run out here?! He doesn’t look happy, but he waits for the third umpire, who confirms the dismissal! That’s a shoddy way to go, though well played Mohammed Shami, who was quick to move from mid-on and fired in a direct hit! Looks like Root hesitated and Shami picked the right end to throw to. England’s captain stalks from the field, and India has dragged the game back their way once again 122/5).

JM Bairstow has gone with duck, BA Stokes 30, JC Buttler † 69, AU Rashid 11, SM Curran 37 not out. Mohammed Shami took three wickets, I Sharma two and, R Ashwin and JJ Bumrah took one wicket each of them.

Ends up edging to third slip, where Kohli takes an excellent catch, falling to his left and catching it with both hands, low, by his toes 36/4).

England have won the toss and will bat first.

Joe Root tosses, Virat Kohli calls heads, and it’s tails. England will bat first. “Looks a good pitch, sun out at the, moment, hopefully we can take advantage of a good pitch. I wouldn’t say [we’re making too many changes]. We’re playing a five-match series, so we’ve got to rely on a squad. It’s an opportunity for Moeen to come in and prove the form he’s been in over the last few weeks. [Bairstow] will be fine at four.”

Kohli says he would have batted first too. “It’s a good grass covering, but the surface is nice and even, probably the best surface of the series. Good thing is, it’s hard, and we’re looking forward to that.” India, for the first time in Kohli’s captaincy, are unchanged. “Rightly so as well,” Kohli says. “Looking at the conditions, and Ashwin is fully fit as well.”
