India vs England 2016, 5th Test, day 4 - 5 Talking Points

#4 England‘s day of persistent pain

Cook had no answer to whatever the Indian batsmen came up with

Having gone down 0-3 in the series already, England might not have expected the tour to get any worse. But, the last couple of days shoved that notion through the back door with their bowlers experiencing sustained agony during the fourth day.

The first session fetched them just a solitary wicket while the second and third ones rendered them completely irrelevant. As the going got tough, shoulders began to droop and catches started to evade their clutches. Far from England’s historic triumph in their previous trip to this part of the world, Captain Cook looked bereft of ideas as the final nail was being drilled into the coffin.
