Not A Happy Ending

THE writing was on the wall. Needing only 118 runs to square the series, Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow didn’t take much time on Day 5 as they notched up unbeaten centuries to take England home in just over an hourand-a-half of cricket on Tuesday. The defeat means India’s wait for their first series win in England since 2007 continued as they blew away a glorious opportunity to lift the Pataudi Trophy having done all the hard work to take 2-1 lead in 2021.
