Ind vs eng test

12.55pm: Time for the presentations, starting with India captain Virat Kohli: [Collapse today] "Basically down to scoreboard pressure. Always up against it when you get out for under 80, and the opposition puts up such a big score. But we did well to stay in the game yesterday, fight back as much as we could, and gave ourselves a chance. But the pressure today was outstanding from the England bowlers and eventually they got the results they wanted. [First innings] Quite bizarre, it can happen in this country, batting collapses. We thought the pitch was good to bat on, coming on nicely. But the discipline forced mistakes and the pressure was relentless. Difficult to cope when you're not scoring runs. That caused the batting order to crumble. [Toss decision] No, pitch looked good to bat on, when England batted it was a different ball game because we weren't as good with the ball. The result is a reflection of how the teams played in this game, we expected them to bounce back. [Runs from middle order] Depth, it's an argument you can have. The top order has to give enough runs for the lower middle order to step up. We did pretty well in the first two games, when you have a result like this you can't take too much from it. As a batting group we need to stay close and confident, even after 36 all out [in Australia] we came back. [Selection for Oval] Depends on the pitch, assess the surface, how much moisture and our decision will be based on that. I think this template works, th...

Anderson, oh all the pace jokes you make about him, gets a specialist batter with a short ball.

Photograph: Ryan Pierse/Getty Images “I’d say whether we like it or not Ashes tend to define eras and teams,” Cummins said. “I think the great thing about this final is we feel like we played awesome cricket for the last two years, so to be there at the end holding the trophy feels really well deserved. Away Ashes are bloody hard to win, I think it’s been 20‑odd years [actually 22], so it’s not going to be easy but if we were to win it that is legacy‑defining stuff, yeah.” Read more Rohit Sharma, whose India side have now lost in the first two WTC finals, said he would prefer the title to be decided over three matches rather than one. “I would love that,” he said, “but is there time? That’s the big question. But in a big event like this you need to have fair opportunities to both teams. You work hard for two years and then you only have one shot at it. You cannot get into that rhythm, that momentum that you need in Test cricket.” Cummins perhaps understandably disagreed: “Ideally you’d have a 50‑match series but Olympics come down to one race to win a gold medal, NFL, NRL seasons have finals. It’s sport.” Intriguingly, Sharma hinted...

Kohli: I think the comeback [in the second Test] pleased me the most. The first game was an aberration the way we played as a team. The toss played a crucial role and I don't think the bowlers were in the game at all. The comeback and the way we batted in the second Test match in Chennai... Yes, Axar and Washington are ready and the idea was to have youngsters who came in and perform with fearlessness. Rishabh and Washi did it with that game-changing partnership and Axar too. Well, we're obviously happy to win the series, but there are always things to improve. Nothing is a given because every team is an international side. In the future, we will have hiccups, but we have to keep ironing them out. Well, Ashwin has been banker for us for the past six-seven years in Test cricket. Rohit's knock was the most defining moment in us coming back [in the series]. Getting 150 on that pitch was as good as getting 250 and it got us into the contest. Throughout the series, he got important knocks and partnerships. Now, we can accept and admit that we are in the WTC final; it was a distraction for us. It did become a bit of distraction for us in New Zealand, but we took it one game at a time since. Ashwin, Man of the Series: The fact that we qualified for the WTC final (is the most pleasing aspect of this victory). These were challenging passages of play...I actually can't put thought into it and say how well the last four months have been. It has been a ride. I didn't think I'll make a...

It seemed to be full enough to be pitching in line with the stumps and hitting them too, but Burns has reviewed it... On the fuller side of a length, pitching in line with leg stump or maybe just outside, and straightening in to beat the inside edge as Burns defends without a big stride forward. It's pitched just in line with leg stump, and Hawkeye has it clipping the top of middle stump, so Burns will have to walk back. Bumra...
