<keyword id="238471" type="General" weightage="60" keywordseo="chris-woakes" source="Orion">Chris Woakes</keyword> and <keyword id="4120840" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="harry-brook" source="Orion">Harry Brook</keyword> put on an impressive display with the bat, supported by Mark Wood's crucial contribution in the final moments of the game, leading England to a thrilling 3-wicket victory over Australia on Day 4 of the third Test at Headingley Cricket Stadium on Sunday. Five years ago Ben Stokes scripted history by pulling off one of the most remarkable victories in the history of Test cricket against Australia. Now, five years later the result still favoured England, Australia was once again on the receiving end but the only difference was Woakes and Stokes switching their roles. England resumed the session with a score of 154/4 with Harry Brook batting (40*) and Ben Stokes (7*) on the crease. Australia tipped the balance of scale as Mitchell <keyword id="1596377" type="General" weightage="40" keywordseo="starc" source="Orion">Starc</keyword> dismissed Stokes and Bairstow in quick succession. Starc with his experience ensured Stokes didn't pull off another Headingler miracle on them. The ball glanced off his bat and went straight into the hands of Alex Carey. Bairstow was next to follow as he tried to go for a bid drive, found an inside edge and the ball crashed into the stumps. Brook held England's innings together after facing an unprecedented setback. Chris Woakes joined hands with him and they pushed England close to victory with a half-century stand. With the game slipping away from their hands, Starc was called back into the thick of the action as Harry Brook continued to carry the hosts towards the finish line successfully. He sent back the young England batter with the hosts needing just over 20 runs to win and leaving Australia just three wickets away from victory. But, Mark Wood hit a crucial six off Pat Cummins next over and then smashed a Starc half-volley for four in the next over to put all fears of an Australian comeback back to their place. Woakes finished off the game by finding the fence and the crowd let out a nostalgic roar which echoed the feeling of 2019. Earlier in the match, England ended day three at 27/0, with Ben Duckett (18*) and Zak Crawley (9*) unbeaten. They are chasing 251 runs to keep the <keyword id="45331" type="General" weightage="70" keywordseo="ashes" source="Orion">Ashes</keyword> alive. On Day 3, Australia was bundled out for 224 in their second innings. Important knocks came from Head (77), Usman Khawaja (43) and Marnus Labuschagne (33). Australia was once reduced to 90/4, but a 41-run stand between Head and Mitchell Marsh (28) and another 41-run stand between Head and Todd Murphy (11) took Aussies lead to 250 runs. Stuart Broad (3/45), Chris Woakes (3/68), Mark Wood (2/66) were the best bowlers for England. The pace trio helped England get a tight grip on the game. Moeen Ali also took two wickets. Also, England was in huge trouble in their first innings and was at 87/5 at one point with Zak Crawley (33) being a key contributor at the top. Another Headingley masterclass from Stokes (80 in 108 balls with six fours and five sixes) and important knocks from Moeen Ali (21) and Mark Wood (24 in eight balls, with one four and three sixes) took England to 237. England were trailing Australia by 26 runs. Pat Cummins, the skipper was the best bowler for Aussies, taking 6/91. Mitchell Starc took two wickets. Mitchell Marsh and Todd Murphy got one each. England put Australia to bat first and the visitors were bundled out for 263 runs in 60.4 overs. Australia slipped to 85/4, but with a 155-run stand for the fifth wicket between Mitchell Marsh (118 in 118 balls, 17 fours and four sixes) and Travis Head (39 in 74 balls), the Aussies were back on track. But after the dismissal of these two batters, Australia experienced another collapse and was bundled out for 263 runs. Wood (5/34) was the pick of the bowlers for England. Chris Woakes (3/73) and Stuart Broad (2/58) also bowled really well. Brief Score: AUS 263 &amp; 224 (Travis head 77, Usman Khawaja 43; Stuart Broad 3-45) vs England 237 &amp; 254/7 (Harry Brrok 75, Zack Crawley 44; Mitchell Starc 5/78).

Defending champions England failed to qualify for the World Cup semifinals in India, having won only three of their nine league games.

The six players who were part of England's ordinary campaign in India and are touring West Indies are Buttler, Gus Atkinson, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, <keyword id="3225018" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="sam-curran" source="Orion">Sam Curran</keyword> and Liam Livingstone. England will play three ODIs and five T20Is in the Caribbean. After England's final game in the World Cup, Buttler said there is no need for drastic changes in the team. "I don't think there will be a drastic change of plan like we had in 2015. There are a few things we need to change and build something new. Doesn't mean there'll be a huge clear-out but we have work to do to become a top team again," Buttler said at post-match presentation ceremony.

England captain Jos Buttler has won the toss and elected to bowl first against hosts <keyword id="3658" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="india" source="Orion">India</keyword> in league match number 29 of 2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup at the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium here on Sunday. India come into the clash on the back of winning five matches on the trot and are firmly in the frame to reach the semi-finals. England, the defending champions, come into the match after suffering three consecutive losses in the competition, leaving their semi-final hopes hanging by a thread. Both teams are fielding unchanged teams from their respective previous clashes. Buttler said the decision to bowl first was based on his gut call. "Not anything in particular, it's a gut decision. It's a great occasion and hopefully, today we bring our best. Today, we want to put up a good show. We haven't done ourselves justice, today we want to put up a show and play for pride. Playing in front of a full crowd and against India, it's a great occasion." It also means that India will be batting first for the very first time in the competition after acing five consecutive chases. Skipper <keyword id="13937" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="rohit-sharma" source="Orion">Rohit Sharma</keyword> said he wanted to bat first and that the team doesn't mind it at all, in what will be the test of the Indian team in posting a total first. "We had a good time batting second. It's a new surface relaid here, and it plays well all through. So we don't mind batting second. It's important to get those two points and whatever it takes to do that, it takes. It's always nice to have a break, you get the time to reflect where you stand," he said.

Men's ODI WC: Both teams unchanged as England win toss, opt to bowl first against India

Star Indian batter <keyword id="6354486" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="virat-kohli" source="Orion">Virat Kohli</keyword> on Thursday became the first player in history to cross the 4,000 run mark in T20I cricket. India's star batter accomplished this landmark during his side's second semifinal match of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup against England at Adelaide Oval. In the match, <keyword id="13410" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="virat" source="Orion">Virat</keyword> scored a delightful 50 off 40 balls. His knock consisted of four boundaries and one six. He struck the ball at a strike rate of 125.00. This was his fourth half-century of the ongoing edition of the tournament. He is currently the leading run scorer in the tournament so far. He has scored 296 runs in six innings at an average of 98.66. This also includes his instant-classic knock of 82* against Pakistan at Melbourne. With this half-century, Virat's run-tally in T20I cricket has gone to 4,008 runs in 115 matches across 107 innings at an average of 52.73. One century and 37 half-centuries have come out of his bat, with the best individual score of 122*. His strike rate in the shorter format is 137.96. Other top batters in the shortest format are Indian skipper Rohit Sharma (3,853), New Zealand opening veteran Martin Guptill (3,531), Pakistan skipper Babar Azam (3,323) and Ireland opener Paul Stirling (3,181). Coming to the match, India posted 168/6 in their 20 overs. Hardik Pandya (63 off 33 balls) and Virat <keyword id="6360637" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="kohli" source="Orion">Kohli</keyword> (50) were the stars of the match for India. Chris Jordan (3/43) was the pick of the bowlers for England. Chris Woakes and Adil Rashid took a wicket each.

Virat Kohli becomes first player to cross 4,000 runs mark in T20I cricket

Saturday night will see a clash between the master and the apprentice. MS Dhoni, who is on the last bend of his career and has been turning up only for <keyword id="13886" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Chennai-Super-Kings">Chennai Super Kings</keyword> (CSK) since his retirement from international cricket last year, will lead the three-time champions against Delhi Capitals (DC), who will be captained by Rishabh Pant, his long-term successor as India's first choice wicketkeeper. Pant has said in the past that he wants to emulate Dhoni but seems to be carving his own niche. While his power-hitting has already been well-known, his batting went a notch higher since the last Indian Premier League (IPL) as he helped India win the Test series in Australia and against England at home. His wicketkeeping skills came as a pleasant surprise during both series and now it will be his captaincy skills that will be put to test. Pant replaced the injured Shreyas Iyer, who is nursing a shoulder injury. The last year's runners-up have also added Steve Smith to their squad. Their pace bowling attack, comprising Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, <keyword id="149050" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Umesh-Yadav">Umesh Yadav</keyword> and Ishant Sharma along with all-rounders Chris Woakes, Tom Curran and Marcus Stoinis, is among the best in the league. Experienced and acclaimed spinners like off-spinner R Ashwin and leg-spinner Amit Mishra make up a very strong bowling line-up that will test the CSK batting line-up that performed very poorly in the last edition. The CSK batting will rely a lot on Faf du Plessis but the return of Suresh Raina, who missed the last season, will be a boost for the three-time champions as they look to do better this time than the seventh place finish they got last season. India's Test batting stalwart Cheteshwar Pujara too has been included in the CSK line-up for his first IPL in seven years. The India No. 3 batsman was seen using a higher back-lift and hitting sixes in one of the net sessions. CSK blundered last year by not reading the pitches well and not playing their spinners early enough. They realised their mistake and started to give Mitchell Santner and Imran Tahir matches. But it was too late by then. One man who could make a difference is Shardul Thakur, who has done exceedingly well for India since the last IPL. He would be leading their pace bowling along with Deepak Chahar or Aussie Jason Behrendorff, who has come in for Josh Hazlewood. But essentially, CSK's fate on Saturday will depend on how their batting stands up to DC's bowling. DC squad: Rishabh Pant (captain/wicketkeeper), Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Ajinkya Rahane, Steve Smith, Sam Billings, Shimron Hetmyer, Ishant Sharma, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Umesh Yadav, Tom Curran, Avesh Khan, Lalit Yadav, Pravin Dubey, Ripal Patel, Lukman Hussain Meriwala, M Siddharth, Marcus Stoinis, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Chris Woakes, <keyword id="3788898" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vishnu-Vinod">Vishnu Vinod</keyword> (wicketkeeper), <keyword id="128070" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Aditya-Tare">Aditya Tare</keyword> (wicketkeeper) CSK squad: MS Dhoni (captain/wicketkeeper), Suresh Raina, Narayan Jagadeesan, Ruturaj Gaikwad, KM Asif, Karn Sharma, Ambati Rayudu, Deepak Chahar, Faf du Plessis, Shardul Thakur, Mitchell Santner, Dwayne Bravo, Lungi Ngidi, Sam Curran, Ravindra Jadeja, Imran Tahir, Robin Uthappa, Moeen Ali, <keyword id="2102949" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="K-Gowtham">K Gowtham</keyword>, Cheteshwar Pujara, M.Harisankar Reddy, K.Bhagath Varma, C Hari Nishaanth, R Sai Kishore <h4 style="color: rgb(44, 44, 45);">SEE ALSO:<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/mobile/news/nokia-x20-specifications-nokia-new-phones-price-in-india/articleshow/81981039.cms">Six new Nokia smartphones announced – price, specifications and availability details you should know</a> <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/startups/news/founders-take-note-heres-why-most-startups-fail/articleshow/81981138.cms">Founders, take note: here’s why most startups fail</a> <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/apps/news/google-phone-app-now-lets-you-record-calls-automatically-from-unknown-numbers/articleshow/81982791.cms">Google Phone app now lets you record calls automatically from unknown numbers</a> <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/startups/news/adar-poonawalla-serum-institute-of-india-has-bought-stake-policybazaar/articleshow/81985425.cms">Serum Institute of India buys into IPO-bound insurance unicorn PolicyBazaar, as True North sells part stake in secondary sale</a> </h4><h4 style="color: rgb(44, 44, 45);"></h4>

LIVE IPL 2017, Gujarat Lions vs Kolkata Knight Riders: The opening pair of Kolkata just finished Gujarat

Head to head: England versus South Africa-- the first battle of cricket World Cup 2019 kicks off

In coloured clothing and with the white ball, Indian team is a transformed unit. Wednesday provided ample proof of that as they outclassed England in the second ODI at Cardiff by 133 runs to take 1-0 lead in the five-match series. 
 
Click here for <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/live-score/eng-vs-ind/enin08272014174401/quickview">Scorecard </a>| <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/live-score/eng-vs-ind/enin08272014174401/commentary">Commentary</a> 
 
Chasing 305, England's target was revised after rain delayed their reply. By the time the opening pair of <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/alastair-cook/3001/3056">Alastair Cook</a> and <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/alex-hales/3001/3110">Alex Hales</a> had walked in, their target was reset to 295 in 47 overs by Duckworth-Lewis method. They began well, swiftly going past 50 runs in 10 overs. However, the 11th over, bowled by <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/mohammed-shami/4001/30030">Mohammed Shami</a>, changed it all as England lost two wickets in it. First, Cook (19) was trapped in front, although he can consider himself a bit unlucky for the ball had pitched outside leg and then for some reason, Ian Bell (1) left a straight delivery that hit his off-stump. Next man in Joe Root (4) departed quickly after being cleaned up by <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/bhuvneshwar-kumar/4001/25023">Bhuvneshwar Kumar</a>. 
 
Hales (40), making his debut, unleashed himself as per his reputation and kept finding boundaries regularly early on. However, the fall of wickets in quick succession bogged him down as he went inside a shell as runs dried up – both for the 25-year-old and the England team. With the required run-rate climbing, someone had to open up and in his endeavour to look for quick runs, Hales was caught by <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/ravichandran-ashwin/4001/26007">R Ashwin</a> off <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/ravindra-jadeja/4001/32004">Ravindra Jadeja</a> in the 21st over with England sliding to 81/4. 
 
Those that followed failed to make any impact with the Indian bowlers calling the shots, striking at regular interval. The team that dominated their guests in an imposing fashion in the longer formats, submitted meekly losing by 133 runs. For India, Jadeja starred with the bowl picking 4/28 while Shami and Ashwin took two wickets apiece. 
 
Earlier, a strokeful, chanceless century from <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/suresh-raina/4001/4059">Suresh Raina</a> helped India to 304/6. Raina scored 100 (75, 12X4, 3X6) while building a century stand worth 144 runs with <keyword id="1411" type="POSITION" weightage="80" keywordseo="captain">captain</keyword> <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/ms-dhoni/4001/4057">MS Dhoni</a> (52) as India recovered from early shocks to post a strong total. India were off to a shaky, nervous start after Cook inserted them in. The visitors were troubled by <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/james-anderson/3001/3040">James Anderson</a> and <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/chris-woakes/3001/3098">Chris Woakes</a> early on as they tested them with pace and swing. The first two overs were played safely through without a run being scored. Both the India openers <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/rohit-sharma/4001/4095">Rohit Sharma</a> and <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/shikhar-dhawan/4001/28004">Shikhar Dhawan</a>, though, opened their account with a boundary each but looked unconvincing in a slow start. Dhawan (11) seemed to carry his poor form from the Test series into the ODIs after edging Chris Woakes to wicketkeeper <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/jos-buttler/3001/3111">Jos Buttler</a> in the eighth over. In the same over, <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/virat-kohli/4001/25007">Virat Kohli</a> was out for a duck after his eagerness to dictate terms from the word go saw him dancing down the track for an uppish drive which went straight into the hands of Cook. 
 
India were 19/2 and off to an ominous start. Considering how they reacted in such scenarios during the Test series, only worse was expected from them. But Rohit and <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/ajinkya-rahane/4001/32045">Ajinkya Rahane</a> calmed the nerves, settling in nicely, building a 91-run stand that revived the innings. Rahane played some lovely strokes and looked set for a big one but one moment of sluggishness got the better of him as he was stumped off <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/james-tredwell/3001/3096">James Tredwell</a> for 41 in the 24th over. On the other hand, Rohit's innings was a combination of some classy batting and few irresponsible strokes. He was beaten on numerous occasions but was lucky enough to not nick them. Four boundaries and a six off a free-hit helped him to a fifty before Woakes at mid-off caught his miscued shot off Tredwell. 
 However, the highlight of the innings was the partnership between captain <keyword id="6397" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Dhoni">Dhoni</keyword> and Raina that lifted the Indians as the duo unfurled a flurry of strokes with the latter taking the centrestage. India managed just 26 runs besides losing two wickets in the first powerplay but with Raina and Dhoni they clobbered 62 in the second. Raina eventually departed after being caught in the deep by Anderson off Woakes.

Raina had set the tone early in his knock scoring a boundary off his third delivery. He sent the ball past the boundary line regularly with the shot of his innings being a straight hit over Woakes' head for a six. Even Anderson, the wrecker-in-chief during the Test series, wasn't spared as Raina flayed him for three successive fours in the 40th over. He assessment and judgement of the deliveries was spot on and it was his innings that helped India to post a score in excess of 300. 
 
England bowlers started well, bowling the right line and length exploiting the favourable conditions well after winning the all important toss. Woakes had taken two wickets while allowing just eight runs in his first spell of five overs. His was aptly rewarded for his accuracy all throughout, finishing with 4/52. However, as the innings progressed, with the batsman settling in, the England bowlers lost the grip. The biggest culprit of the slide being Chris Jordan who leaked 73 in 10 wicketless overs including one in which he bowled five wides. Tredwell also bowled decently for his 2/42 in 10 overs. 
 
Brief Scores: India 304/6 (Raina 100, Dhoni 52, Rohit 52; Woakes 4/52) beat England 161 (Hales 40; Jadeja 4/28, Shami 2/32) by 133 runs.

Raina, Spinners Deliver Emphatic Cricket Win In England

2020 IPL auction will see these 332 players trying their luck under the hammer

It's just getting worse and worse for India. After the ignominy of Southampton, they have yet again succumbed to a crushing defeat against England at Manchester. They now trail England 1-2 in the five-match series. Gocricket.com takes a look at how each member of the Indian team fared at Old Trafford. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/murali-vijay/4001/4102">Murali Vijay </a> It seems ages ago when <keyword id="57265" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Murali-Vijay">Murali Vijay</keyword> impressed everyone with his defiant knocks in the first two Tests at Trent Bridge and Lord's. At Manchester he scored a total of 18 runs including a duck in the first innings. He was at the receiving end of a peach of a delivery from James Anderson in the first innings and in the second, fell to Chris Woakes. His slump has come at a wrong time. Among all the specialist Indian batsmen on the tour, he has been one of the two brightest spots. With the other openers failing, he needs to get his touch back if India hope to do well in the fourth Test. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/gautam-gambhir/4001/4043">Gautam Gambhir </a> Questions were raised when Gambhir was selected for the England tour as a reserve opener. Those questions were put to rest when the first choice opener in <keyword id="17805" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Shikhar-Dhawan">Shikhar Dhawan</keyword> failed. The reasons, for which he lost his place in the national side, seem to be valid even today. A batsman of his repute, on his return to international cricket after almost two years, should perform but he could muster only 22 runs in two innings. Both the times he fell to short deliveries. In the first innings, his dismissal brought back memories of the 2011 tour of England when he repeatedly was caught in the slip cordon and his second dismissal left everyone frustrated as he needlessly gloved one from Anderson to be caught by the wicketkeeper. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/cheteshwar-pujara/4001/4106">Cheteshwar Pujara</a> He was the second Indian batsmen to be out for a duck in the first dig after <keyword id="52757" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Stuart-Broad">Stuart Broad</keyword> lured him to edge one to Chris Jordan in the slips. In the second innings, he was a bit unlucky to be given out lbw as replays showed the ball from Moeen Ali was missing the leg stump. He managed 17. His technique on seaming, pacy tracks is under intense scrutiny after yet another failure. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/virat-kohli/4001/25007">Virat Kohli</a> 
Seems Kohli is not willing to learn and improve. People have lost count of the number of times his weakness against outside off deliveries has been exploited England bowlers. He is the designated superstar of a star-studded Indian line-up. But where is that performance? In both the innings, Anderson got the better of him. He scored a duck in the first and managed seven in the second before pushing at a delivery that went safely into the hands of Ian Bell at second slip. Someone needs to tell him that he need not go after every delivery, especially those outside off. Let better sense prevail. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/ajinkya-rahane/4001/32045">Ajinkya Rahane </a> 
Smile is infectious. Replace 'smile' with 'failure' for Rahane. When everyone around him seems to be hell bent on playing loose, rash strokes, could he have avoided playing one of his own? Yes. But he couldn't. In the first innings with his team in dire straits, he gifted Chris Jordan his wicket after scoring 24 in a partnership with captain Dhoni that gave a flickering hope of a recovery. In the second, another loose shot put him on the way back to the dressing room after he had managed a single. All we can hope is that his failure at Manchester is just a one-off incident. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/ms-dhoni/4001/4057">MS Dhoni</a> 
Dhoni's knock of 71 runs in the first innings will be counted among his best in Tests. When everything around him crumbled, he was the lone warrior before he pulled one that ended his fight. In the second, he again saved India from the ignominy of being bowled out for double figures. However, his wicketkeeping and captaincy was questionable. Not utilising bowlers effectively apart from his performance behind the stumps is not helping the team. After the low of Southampton, it was expected that he would rejig things. But, under his watch, India slipped further into the abyss. Lord's is a distant memory now for him and the Indian fans. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/ravindra-jadeja/4001/32004">Ravindra Jadeja</a> 
Anderson has gained much out of his spat with India allrounder Jadeja. The Englishman has flourished. On the other hand, Jadeja's only significant contribution was trapping Anderson after being meted out a similar treatment by the pacer in India's first innings. He took one wicket in the entire match and scored four runs including a 14-ball duck in the first innings. His pairing with R Ashwin on Indian tracks is deadly. In England where Moeen Ali has trapped India in a web of spin, he has been nothing short of ordinary. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/bhuvneshwar-kumar/4001/25023">Bhuvneshwar Kumar</a> 
Bhuvneshwar continues to toil hard and he is reaping rewards for his efforts. He seems to be the only member of the Indian team who is aware of his limitations and is taking the most out of his abilities. He took three wickets at Manchester where England batted once. Two of those (Sam Robson and Bell) were a result of some wonderful bowling. He has lost his 'midas touch' with the bat as scores of 0 and 10 would suggest. But he cannot be expected to hide the failures of the batsmen every single time. His job is to bowl, not score runs. Unfortunately he has been forced to do the additional job as well and the effect is the dip in his intensity. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/varun-aaron/4001/30019">Varun Aaron</a> 
Back in the team after a gap of almost three years, Aaron impressed with his lively pace. He bowled consistently above 140 km/hr and occasionally troubled the batsmen with his bounce. The delivery with which he cleaned up Moeen Ali was one of the few moments to cherish for India from the Test. He picked 3/97 in 26 overs and made an impressive return, although straying away on occasions. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/ravichandran-ashwin/4001/26007">R Ashwin</a> 
Include Ashwin and things will get better was the mantra after the loss at Southampton for India. He was selected and bowled well but went wicketless even as his counterpart (Moeen) ended with four scalps. However, it was his batting that was much talked about. He put to shame the Indian top order in both the innings. In the first his 40 runs took the team past 150 runs and he followed it with an unbeaten 46 which was the highest score by any Indian batsman in the second dig. 
 
<a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/pankaj-singh/4001/4100">Pankaj Singh</a> 
His painful wait for a wicket finally ended on the third day when he removed Joe Root for 77. He, again, started well but his workhorse attitude didn't translate into anything significant. On a pitch where England bowlers murdered Indian batting, his efforts at best can be summed up as below par. He bowls well but not good enough that will force the selectors to give him an extended run. Mind you – he is bowling in helpful conditions and not on lifeless subcontinent tracks. If <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/ishant-sharma/4001/4094">Ishant Sharma</a> gets fit, Pankaj, who took two wickets in the Test, will surely sit out at The Oval.
