"Best Test Batsman In World Right Now": Virender Sehwag's Ultimate Praise For England Star

Joe Root hit yet another century as he continued his fine form in Test cricket to take England to an emphatic victory over India in the Edgbaston Test. Root hit an unbeaten 142 off 173 as England chased down a mammoth 378 with seven wickets remaining to deny India a series win. The five-match series ended in a 2-2 draw. Giving Root company was Jonny Bairstow, who scored 114 not out, adding to his century from the first innings. On Day 5, Root surprisingly was the aggressor, taking on the Indian bowlers and peppering the boundaries consistently.

"Who Made The Call": Ex-Pakistan Star Questions Ravichandran Ashwin's Omission From India Playing XI For Edgbaston Test

Having been in control for much of the ongoing rescheduled fifth Test against England at Edgbaston, India found themselves on the back foot at stumps on Day 4. Apart from Cheteshwar Pujara and Rishabh Pant, the Indian batting failed to come to the party in the second innings, and were bowled out for 245, setting England a target of 378 runs to win the fifth Test. Despite the batters' failings in the second innings, India still would have been quietly confident with England needing to chase over 350 runs to win the match -- a feat that has never been accomplished at Edgbaston.
