England v India produced the drama we were all hoping for, by conjuring up one of the all time great Test matches to begin the series at Headingley. Bumrah laboured but Duckett and Crawley showed they had answers as England ticked off the runs.

In a topsy turvey Test match at Hedingley England have been battling with India. The batsman have dominated the first 3 days, but Jasprit Bumrah's magic has shone through with the ball. Harry Brook's marvelous 99 almost took the game away for England, but things are still up for grabs.
