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.
