Ind vs Eng: It's A Wrap!

Ind vs Eng: Bumrah Named India's Player Of The Series
Jasprit Bumrah, who led India in the fifth and final Test, picked 23 wickets in the series. Also, one should not forget his batting prowess that saw him smashing 29 runs to Stuart Broad in one over and helping India fetch a record 35 runs in it.
This is the 11th Test century for Jonny Bairstow. He had already scored a hundred in the first innings of this game and now follows it with another century. He along with Root has completely dominated India in the fourth innings.
OMG!!! Root is killing it. This time he has played a reverse-scoop to perfection for a six. He is enjoying his time at the middle and smashing the Indian bowlers as if he would be batting in the nets. This is so demeaning for India.
A short ball from Bumrah but he failed to get the bounce on it. As a result, Bairstow got over the ball quite easily and slammed it for an easy four on backward square leg. England need 47 more to win now.
The way the duo of Bairstow and Root are playing, this seems like the last break before the match ends. England need just 53 runs. This match is now just about how long India can hold an England victory.
That was a really good bouncer from Siraj but when it is not your day, nothing goes in your favour. Root got an outside edge on it but the ball fell short of fine leg fielder Hanuma Vihari and ran for a four.
What will you call this! Root hits a cover drive for a four now. Indian bowlers are helpless at the moment. An England victory seems just a matter of time now.
Joe Root races to his 28th Test century. He has been on song this year and continues his red-hot form. Talking about this knock, in particular, he has looked in great control.
A couple of runs for Joe Root and England have raced to 300 runs. They need just 78 more. This match is slipping out of India's hands. Or has it slipped already?
This is a Joe Root special. There were enough fielders on the leg side to stop his shot but the classy batter pierced the ball between mid-on and mid-wicket fielder for a four.
Poor bowling this is from Mohammed Shami. He bowled a wide delivery on the leg side to Bairstow and the ball ran for a boundary. Nothing going India's way at the moment.
More luck for England! Joe Root gets an inside edge but the ball didn't hit the stumps and to add salt to the injury it ran for a four passing wicketkeeper Pant.
Jasprit Bumrah comes into the attack. Can he do the magic for India? England are just 107 runs away from victory with set batters Bairstow and Root at the crease. The Indian bowlers have their task cut out for sure.
The action in final day is set to kick off. Joe Root takes the strike, Jonny Bairstow is at the other end. Mohammed Siraj has the ball in hand. Here we go!
Hello and welcome to the live blog of the final day's play in the fifth Test between India and England at Edgbaston. Hosts England currently hold the advantage but India are not out of it completely. It's sure to be a compelling day of cricket either way.
