A 17th century Cheshire pub rumoured to be haunted has been forced to close its doors as the old building is at risk of collapse. Cheshire's The Black Horse on Liverpool Road, is likely to be closed for up to three months while extensive restructuring work is carried out.
With the pitch flattening and the sun out, the much vaunted Indian bowling, barring skipper Jasprit Bumrah, looked toothless as Joe Root (batting 76, 110 balls, 9x4) and Jonny Bairstow (batting 72, 89 balls, 8x4) played risk-free cricket and added 150 runs in the post-tea session. India have themselves to blame though as they had opportunities. Hanuma Vihari, strangely placed at widish second slip, with shin pads on, when better fielders in that position like Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer were available, dropped the in-form Bairstow off Mohammed Siraj on 14 when the score was 153. India’s shoulders after that chance was fluffed just dropped as Bairstow, with over 900 runs this year, made them pay.

Jonny Bairstow put England on course for a ground-breaking run chase against India despite Jasprit Bumrah's brilliance on day four of the rescheduled fifth Test, setting up a fitting series finale on Monday. Skipper Bumrah brought India back in the game with wickets on either side of the lunch break after England openers Alex Lees (56 off 65) and Zak Crawley (46 off 76) finally found form and shared a 107-run stand chasing a record 378-run target. As it happened | ScorecardFrom 107 for loss, it soon became 109 for three before the dangerous duo of Root (76 batting off 112) and Bairstow (72 batting off 87) frustrated the Indians with a commanding 150-run partnership off just 197 balls. England were 259 for three at stumps on day four, needing a very gettable 119 runs for a series-levelling victory. Though the wicket did not offer much help, Indian bowlers were unable to maintain pressure on the English batters who played with the aggression that has become the hallmark of the Ben Stokes-Brendon McCullum's school of cricket.
