India win the series 2-1

That’s all for today, and for this series. Our next live cricket will be the World Cup, starting with England v New Zealand a week tomorrow. See you then!

It was nice to contribute. I came in at a different time than I have been, and it was nice to navigate the back end and get a really good total on the board.

It felt like the front end of the inning was the nicest time to bat. The ball started spinning and sticking in the wicket towards the back end, and the bowlers did really well to go about things a little differently.

We’ve lost the series – India played very well – but it was nice to see the big guns back today. The team gelled and everyone contributed in their own way.
