India still have this.
What a win, the best under Stokes’ tenure so far.

Wooooooooooooooooo!
Unfuckinunfuckinunfuckinbelievable!!!
That was one hell of a response to be fair from England and especially Pope and then Hartley to deliver.
7-62 maybe we finally have a spinner we can count on.
Anyhow “Hartley leaves India in a sticky situation”

Don’t give a…
Absolutely buzzing after that.
Pope was the difference, but hats off to Hartley for coming back from the mauling he got on day one. England were never in front until Ashwin got out.
Amazing stuff.
Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Great day for test cricket.

It is too early, India will probably win the next four games, but right now we are entitled to enjoy a magnificent achievement. No team has ever come back from such a high first innings deficit in India, and to do it with the resources available is incredible.
Similarly WI have every right to be overjoyed to get their first win in Australia for 27 years. Let’s hope they can really re-emerge as a serious force. It can only be good for test cricket.

Absolutely. WI batting lineup is questionable at best but they certainly have some emerging bowling talents. Good on them.
I also agree that any team breaking a home Indian streak is good for the game, because winning in India is incredibly challenging. Even if the team doing it is Fucking England.
