England tour of India 2016-17

Parthiv Patel back in India Test team

Senior most player now :biggrin: (Played for India since 2002)

More than eight years after his previous Test match, and four years after his last international, wicketkeeper Parthiv Patel has earned a recall to India's Test team. He comes in due to an injury to first-choice keeper Wriddhiman Saha; Saha strained his left thigh during the second Test against England in Visakhapatnam, and will not play the third Test to avoid aggravating the injury.
 
Records galore for India today. Most prominent being Jayant Yadav being 1st Indian batsman to score a century at No.9. Unless the two keeper-batsman do something special (Take england to tea tomorrow), India should win this one
 
England is no. 2 team so 3-0 shud boost India's rating further in tests. (already number 1)
 
The fact that the last time England won & now they are wrestling it away would actually help further...
 
Situation similar to 4th test approaching now

England scores 400 or more.

India responds well and takes good lead.

England goes down on 5th day!
 
If India takes 200+ lead today and declare, there is good chance to get out England on last day.
