INDIA had three great days in the just-concluded fifth Test match against England at Edgbaston but an ordinary fourth day saw them losing to a power-packed batting line-up that the home team has.
Chasing 378 to square the series, the Three Lions had no problems whatsoever apart from a brief phase when they lost three quick wickets. Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow slammed unbeaten centuries to add 269 runs for the fourth wicket to seal the game by 7 wickets. They overhauled the target in less than 77 overs.

My maid, who is preparing for Judicial Services Exam, said Nupur Sharma is single handedly responsible for India's loss to Eng in the 5th test.
As per her, Siraj and Shami might have been mentally disturbed by her statements, may be that's why couldn't perform to potential. Sad!
