Phew that got a lot closer than you would've thought after India smashed 253 in the first innings. England made them sweat properly in the sweltering heat of Mumbai with Jacob Bethell playing a knock to remember. With 69 needed off the last five overs, the game was right in the balance on a belter of a pitch that offered absolutely nothing to the bowlers. A situation calling out for someone to grab the game by the scruff of its neck. And who else was it going to be, other than that man who simply doesn't miss. Yorker after yorker after yorker. His two remaining overs went for a mere 14 runs with England deciding to play him off rather than taking too many risks. It left them with way too much to do, and if they were hoping to compensate against Arshdeep and Hardik, that wasn't the case as both of them stepped up as well. Hardik deserves a lot of credit, started off brilliantly with the new ball, swinging it sharply and then closed the game at the death as well.


now we have to just pray namo namo to God
