Managing Director of England Men's Cricket Rob Key believes Jofra Archer still has a future in Test cricket, despite concerns his recent injury woes could force him to focus solely on white-ball cricket.
India's "timid" and "defensive" batting approach in their second innings allowed England to make a comeback in the rescheduled fifth Test on the fourth day, reckons former India head coach Ravi Shastri. Leading by 132 runs, India's second innings folded for 245. Chasing 378, England are now just 119 runs away from the victory target. "I think (it was) disappointing, to say the least, because they could have batted England out of this contest," said Shastri, who is part of the Sky Sports Cricket team at Edgbaston.

Former India head coach Ravi Shastri is doing commentary for Sky Sports for the 5th Test between India and England at Edgbaston along with the likes of former England captains Kevin Pietersen and Nasser Hussain. In the middle of his commentary duties, the three men also found time to shoot a how to play spin bowling masterclass for the broadcaster.
Team India led by Jasprit Bumrah are currently in the driver's seat in the ongoing Edgbaston Test against England. The visitors extended their lead to 257 on Day 3 with Cheteshwar Pujara and Rishabh Pant currently unbeaten on 50 and 30. India gained a significant advantage in the game after bundling out England for 284, gaining a first-innings lead of 132. England captain Ben Stokes failed to score big and was dismissed by Shardul Thakur after he had scored just 25.
Kevin Pietersen believes England captain Ben Stokes is "devaluing his wicket" and has urged him to follow the lead of Jonny Bairstow, a man Mark Butcher says is experiencing "batting nirvana".
Rishabh Pant, with his blitzkrieg knock in the ongoing 5th Test against England at Edgbaston, broke a record by former India captain MS Dhoni that stood for 17 long years. Pant, who reached his fifth century in the longest format in just 89 deliveries, hit the fastest Test ton by an Indian wicketkeeper. MS Dhoni held the record with his 93-ball century against Pakistan in Faisalabad in 2005. Pant went on to score 146 off just 111 deliveries. His knock was studded with 19 boundaries and four sixes.
It seems strange now, looking back, that he was destined to become England’s greatest limited-overs captain, their white-ball Mike Brearley.
