India beat England by an innings and 75 runs | India Vs England 5th Test match

Right then! England, the way they started off in Rajkot were completely opposite after it. When a team lose a series 4-0, they need some real soul-searching. On the other hand, the No. 1 Test team has only better with every game and today they showed they are on top for some reason. The action isn't over yet. These teams will continue to battle in the New Year. We now have a 3-match ODI series followed with 3 T20Is starting from 15th January, 2017 at 1430 IST in Pune. Hope you have enjoyed our coverage and really hope to have you on board for future games. Until next time, it's goodbye from us. Cheers!
The Test trophy is now handed to the proud Indian skipper, Virat Kohli. He gets another one under his belt and then his mates join in to pose for the photographs. The Chepauk crowd lauds for them and they deserve every bit of it, don't they?
MAN OF THE SERIES AND VICTORIOUS INDIAN SKIPPER, VIRAT KOHLI on winning the match says that this match is an evidence of character to battle out for even the last match of the series after already winning the series 3-0. He adds that he wanted the youngsters to step up as they have the talent and had got out cheaply till now. He also said that KL Rahul has had an excellent session with the bat in the domestic circuit but he was not able to convert it here and there comes nearly the double ton for him. He also lauded as he did the job for them in both the innings with the ball. The English players were very good in the first session but we always knew that we have the caliber and strength to take them out. So the believe in there amongst makes a lot of difference. There is too much respect in the dressing room and every one is helping out each other there. He opines that they don't think much what people think about them because they believe in Each other. He also adds that they showed their character by always outscoring them. The think to watch out for in this series was that they never thought that they were out of the game and always bounced back. On his pace attack being better than the English pacers he said that Umesh Yadav was really good with the ball and he was very well supported by Ishant today by bowling on the right areas. He opines that everyone in the team has stepped up when asked to.
ENGLISH SKIPPER, ALASTAIR COOK doesn't want to give any excuse and starts by crediting the Indian team and accepts they outclassed them. Adds they started off well but after lunch they gave it away and feels this was a good fifth day wicket. Further says the main reason they lost the series was because they kept dropping crucial chances and the home side punished them for the same. Continues by saying how important it is to take the those chances. Opines it isn't easy to play 5 Tests in 6 weeks and that it is also a tough place to come and win and ends up saying they weren't a good opposition.
MAN OF THE MATCH, KARUN NAIR says on his triple ton that he thinks it will take some time to sink in and he could not sleep last night as he had too many messages to reply to. It was a very good feeling to win it and to contribute to a winning cause and putting in the effort to win the series 4-0. He also adds that it is a very beautiful place to be in and it is a learning experience when i have senior players in the team like Kohli, Pujara and Jinx. And also opines that he is always learning through the time he has been here with the team.
Day 5, two sessions left and Ravindra Jadeja had other ideas. He literally wrecked havoc and outclassed his partner in crime, the local boy, Ashwin and went on to take scalp 10 wickets in the match and registering his best figures in Tests. The Indians have once again proved that it's not only difficult to beat them in their own den but it is next to impossible. Let's wait and see what the captains of both the teams have to say...
It was Moeen Ali who scored 146 but it was outclassed by KL Rahul who missed out on a double ton but in the end the limelight was stolen by the young man, Karun Nair who went onto score a triple century and helped his side post a mammoth total on the board. With the track not having any demons in it, one would have thought this match could very well head towards a draw and with how Cook and Jennings saw off the session this morning, not many would have thought what was left in store.
The English batsmen after putting up an impressive performance with the bat, succumbed to pressure and have themselves to blame to have not survived just two sessions. Cook will be really bewailed with this performance as he couldn't make the most of it after winning the all-important toss on day 1. The got runs on the board but as has been the case in the series so far, whatever England scored, India went past it every time they had a go with the willow.
The Indian team has done it, they have bowled out the deep English batting line-up and mind you, they went wicketless in the morning session. Ravindra Jadeja, the tormentor-in-chief came out all guns blazing after lunch and spun the web viciously to bundle out the visitors and claim a 7-fer on what was a flat deck, oh boy, this is something spectacular.
End of over 88 ( 0 Runs )ENG 207/10 10 wickets down for ENG. Out batsman is Jake Ball. It is all over for ENG. maiden over bowled by Ravindra Jadeja 87.6Ravindra Jadeja to Jake Ball. out, OUT! It's all over for England! Jadeja removes the stumps and is up and running. What a catch from Karun Nair as well, a complete team performance this. Jadeja floats it up outside off, skidding in a bit, Ball comes forward to defend and gets an outside edge towards second slip where the triple centurion, Nair takes a sharp one-handed reflex catch to his left. INDIA WIN BY AN INNINGS AND 75 RUNS AND TAKE THE SERIES 4-0!
87.5Ravindra Jadeja to Jake Ball. no run, That's a ripper from Jadeja, he bowls a quicker one outside off, Ball prods forward to defend but the ball just whizzes past the outside edge to the keeper.
87.4Ravindra Jadeja to Jake Ball. no run, Full on the stumps, Ball digs it back to Jadeja.
JAKE BALL is the last man in, replacing Broad!
87.3Ravindra Jadeja to Stuart Broad. out, OUT! JADEJA STRIKES AGAIN! He has been a part of nearly everything which has happened today. Tossed up outside off, Broad lunges forward to defend it but he finds his glove in between and flies off to Pujara who is standing at the leg slip. A loud appeal which was more like a celebration was given out by the umpire after a long wait. Patel and Broad have a brief chat as the latter walks back. END IS NIGH FOR ENGLAND!
87.2Ravindra Jadeja to Stuart Broad. no run, Broad lunges forward to defend it.
87.1Ravindra Jadeja to Stuart Broad. no run, Tossed up outside off, Broad leans forward to defend it but the ball finds the outside edge and tickles towards the slip fielder.

Reigning world Test champions India face off against former Test champions England in the fifth and final Test at the MA Chadambaram Stadium in Chennai from Friday. India have already sealed the five-Test series in their favour, as they possess an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series, while they would aim to win the fourth one at Chennai in order to mark the final nail in the coffin of the English nightmare in the sub-continent. As for England, they would fight it out, and play for pride as they aim to finish the Test series on a high, and take some confidence in the upcoming limited-overs series against this very team in January 2017.

The city of Chennai is currently reeling from a devastating tropical cyclone Vardha, which seeped the entire city, and the state of Tamil Nadu just few days ago. However, it has possessed no threat to the Test, as it is all poised to go ahead as scheduled, and the conditions in the ground are perfectly favourable to host the match with ease. The ground, along with the pitch too, are in good condition to host a good test match as the groundsmen have done a great job in preparing the track well enough, and to hardly allow the tropical cyclone to have any effect on it.

Live Updates: India vs England 5th Test, Day 1 at Chennai, Day 3

Chennai has been a happy hunting ground for the hosts, as they have played 31 Tests at this venue, and have won on 13 occasions, while England have played eight Tests at this venue, with just three wins in their bag. Therefore, India certainly hold all the advantage. However, knowing England's unpredictability to bounce back, they would not take them lightly, and would want to win this tie convincingly to make a grave impression. There are also rumours that this could well be England skipper Alastair Cook's last outing as skipper in India. If Cook quits his captaincy following this Test, chances are highly likely for Joe Root to take over the reins.

India’s lengthy cricketing season is set to enter the second phase as they will lock horns with their old rivals England for 5 Tests, 3 One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and 2 Twenty20 International (T20Is). While the first Test will be held at Rajkot on November 9, the final Test will take place at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai from December 16. The first time both the teams met here was in 1934, where England proved to be victorious and won by margin of 202 runs. As for India, they tasted success for the first time in 1952 against the same opponents by an innings and 8 runs in the same venue.

The last time these two teams met was in 2014 for 5 Tests, 5 ODIs and a one off T20I. India found no ray of hope in Tests series as they lost it by margin of 1-3. They avenged the Test defeat as they took the lead in ODIs by 3-1. England had the last laugh by winning the only T20I. India pretty much maintained the same team, as against West Indies, except for Stuart Binny and Shardul Thakur, when they hosted New Zealand ahead of this series. India saw their limited-overs skipper MS Dhoni for the last time this year as leading the ODI series against the Kiwis.

The second innings saw dramatic turn despite England’s Strauss and Paul Collingwood’s centuries. Sachin Tendulkar’s century and Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir’s fifties helped India chase the target.

MA Chidambaram Stadium, also known as Chepauk, has had records galore here. History was made with the first ever Ranji Trophy match played at the venue when AG Ram Singh, with 11 wickets, bowled Madras to victory over Mysore within a day. India’s win against England was also yet another record. Chepauk’s crowd and the atmosphere have also been applauded as they have supported India’s arch-rivals in this very stadium. The crowd provided a standing ovation when Saeed Anwar had secured record breaking 194 against India in the Independence Cup match in 1997.

India and England have clashed eight times in this very venue with hosts having an edge over the visitors with four win. Three have be won by the visitors while the match played in 1982 ended in a draw. It was when Gundappa Vishwanath scored double century along with Yashpal Sharma’s century posting total of 481 in the first innings against England. Apart from these batsmen Kapil Dev, Ravi Shastri and Dilip Joshi who took three wickets apiece and four-for to restrict England to 328 in first innings. With equal competition from both the ends, the game landed in a draw. This time India will want to continue the chase to victory against England once again and increase their tally

The last match played against England in this venue was in 2008 and the first Test of the series as well. India won by 6 wickets after England won the toss and elected to bat first. Andrew Strauss and Alastair Cook provided flying start as the former secured his century and the latter got to his fifty. England posted commendable 316 runs for first innings. Harbhajan Singh and Amit Mishra got 3 wickets apiece to keep England under control. In response, India were nowhere in comparison to England as the then Test skipper Dhoni and Harbhajan were the only ones who contributed with their bat.

Now the reigns are back on the shoulders of Test captain Virat Kohli. India saw some significant performances from players like Ravichandran Ashwin, Kohli and Wriddhiman Saha in West Indies tour. Now with homeland experience against New Zealand and the previous Test matches, India will have an upper-hand against the visitors.

This time around India will be without these greats. However, with youngsters like Cheteshwar Pujara, Kohli, Ashwin, Murali Vijay, Ishant Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami and likes, India can continue the same aggression.
