This was, without second thoughts, one of the worst Indian performances ever. An embarrassing loss for a promising young team, which looked so good and had a fighting spirit just two Tests back when they won formidably at the ‘Mecca of Cricket’; now they look a different team altogether. India lost by a huge margin of an innings and 53 runs. The main cause of the defeat was the batting and not a very strategically correct decision to bat first by the Indian skipper....
The substitution seemed a reasonable one as Ali made just 6 runs and gave away 37 runs in his 2.2 overs in the previous game. While the Indian team impressed in all the departments in the previous fixture, England’s consolation was Joss Butler’s form and the fact that their football team had made it to the quarterfinals of the ongoing FIFA World Cup. In order to keep the series alive, it was a must-win game for the home side....
After being put into bat by Joe Root, India made 329, thanks to a very good 97 from Kohli and an equally good 81 from Ajinkya Rahane. Hardik Pandya then unleashed the beast inside him as he ran through the England batting line-up to register a maiden fifer. India then piled on the misery as Kohli continued his imperious form and struck his second ton of the series. Chasing a daunting 521 in the fourth innings, England crumbled and were reduced to 62/4 before a fighting 169-run stand between Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes defied India....

It was after midnight, and like most Iranians, the inhabitants of Gilan and Zanjan provinces were in bed or watching World Cup soccer on television. Then their homes collapsed on top of them. In barely a minute, a huge earthquake flattened more than 100 villages, towns and cities, cutting many of them off from outside help and leaving them vulnerable to the aftershocks that rolled through the hills like thunder....
Speaking on Wednesday, ahead of the first day-night Test to be held in New Zealand, captain Joe Root said the all-rounder would “play a part” but would not discuss what role he would fill. “There’s still stuff that needs to come out of today to be very sure of that,” Root said, when asked whether Stokes, 26, had recovered sufficiently from a back strain to bowl normally. “But I’m quite happy that Ben will play a part in the game....
Captain Joe Root opted to give the fit-again Wood the nod to replace James Anderson, who sustained a rib injury in the Ben Stokes-inspired victory in Cape Town that levelled the four-match series at 1-1. Paceman Archer missed out in Port Elizabeth as he continues to battle a troublesome elbow problem, while Wood earned a place over Chris Woakes, who was also in contention. “Jofra pulled up a little sore with his elbow, but credit to Woody, he’s fit and firing and that’s an exciting place to be, and two guys up around 90mph is an exciting place for England cricket,” Root said....

Pietersen, who last played for England in 2014, embarked on a nomadic Twenty20 career before announcing his retirement last week....
