Ben Stokes, England captain: We've got some good memories here, one more to add. Awesome Test to be part of, chasing a big total on the last day. You don't know what'll happen before a ball's bowled, you take the choice that you think is best. We thought of what'll give us the best chance to win while deciding to bowl. Opposition are allowed to play well, we bowled well in the first session, India also played incredibly on day one. Didn't think I should've made a different call at anytime. Duckett unbelievale, opening the batting and chasing is tough. His stand with Crawley, getting that set us up brilliantly. The way Zak was able to stay composed and get 60 was important as well. Chasing down totals gives you confidence but it's not dead-set that's how it goes. It's been a great start to the series. There's been a lot of skill contributing to win, we've been in the field for long periods, but we turned up each session with an attitude that we'll blow the game open. Tongue's spells were game changing.

Though it is not a desirable result, it's a thrilling finish. The pitch is batsmen friendly and where so many centuries scored by able batsmen. Because of that, it is challenging to bowlers to take wickets, but, bowlers too should get their due credit to give a shape to this match and a good result at the end. The dropped catches are the reason for one team's loss and another team's win!

Congratulations to England for snatching the match from Indian team's claws!

2025-27 WTC new cycle

Instead of 24 points eng gets 12 points (& 100 PCT%

many competitive contexts, a win might award 12 points, while a loss results in 0 points. This is because the scoring system often prioritizes the difference in outcome, with a clear distinction between winning and losing. Awarding 24 points for a win might be considered too high, potentially leading to inflated point totals and less meaningful competition.

We lost only bcoz of poor fielding.

Agar Jaiswal is gonna score a ton amd then drop 4-5 catches, it isn't worth it as dropping catches does more harm.
