• Fourth Test day four: England 246 & 271; India 273 & 184
• Moeen Ali takes crucial wickets of Kohli and Rahane
The series is won; the side that has spent much of the summer in a disturbing state of flux, sometimes drifting into ominous turmoil, is able to celebrate taking an unassailable 3-1 lead in the series after a riveting 60-run victory over India.
Trevor Bayliss, the champion coach of one-day cricket, is no longer a clown when overseeing a Test team. Joe Root is no craptain. Indeed he calmly kept his hand on the tiller on Sunday from the moment he gave an articulate interview to Sky’s Nasser Hussain before 10am to when Ravichandran Ashwin was the last Indian batsman to fall at 5.20pm.
