We review the second Test between India and England in Visakhapatnam – where Jasprit Bumrah powered India to a 106-run win.

Talking Points:

A celebration of Test cricket
A series with echoes of the 2016-17 home series v Australia
Are England really playing Bazball?
India's decision to play five bowlers even with an inexperienced batting line-up
Does anyone think of drawing a Test match these days?
Jasprit Bumrah: an artist operating on a different plane to the rest
James Anderson's spell and the mystery around how little he bowls in India
Did England pick one spinner too many?
Yashasvi Jaiswal's crackling double-hundred
Shubman Gill making the most of his luck to a fine Test hundred
Do these pitches give India the best chance v England?
