Match Coverage

All Match News

  • 'We wanted them to score their centuries' - Dhoni

    Mahendra Singh Dhoni doesn't seek refuge behind words. On Tuesday, he offered up no excuses for the late declaration, which left India with a maximum of only 43 overs to try and bowl England out

  • Test cricket deserves better

    A match that could, and should, have been fought to a rousing finish was allowed to meander to a miserable stalemate

  • India take series after dull draw

    India clinched the two-Test series against England 1-0 after the second Test ended in a draw here on Tuesday

  • Yuvraj spurred by banter

    The confidence with which Yuvraj Singh batted on the fourth evening went a long way towards eliminating the slim possibility of an Indian defeat
