There's no shame in coming to India and losing a five-match Test series, yet England will feel gutted that they have fallen short – despite what captain Ben Stokes says. They won the 1st Test in thrilling fashion, lost narrowly in the Second and were disappointed not to have put up more of a challenge in the 4th (the less said about the 434-run thrashing in the 3rd, the better!).
For India, it has been a breakout series for young guns like top run scorers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill, Jasprit Bumrah has shown why he is regarded by many as the world's best fast bowler and Rohit Sharma's captaincy has been on point. Plus, India once again demonstrated strength in depth, with the likes of Dhruv Jurel, batter Sarfaraz Khan and seamer Akash Deep all more than making up for the absence of talismanic absentees such as Virat Kohli and Mohammed Shami.
Despite India's unassailable 3-1 series lead, this week's test at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in the city Dharamshala was still full of intrigue. But England haven't been at the races at all. First they were bowled out for a below par 218 – admittedly hindered by superb spin bowling from Kuldeep Yadav and Ravi Ashwin. In reply. India's batters have put them to the sword, with Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill both making fabulous centuries.
Continuing to build a significant lead at stumps on day 2, England are going to need a Bazball miracle to salvage a result here and avoid a 4-1 series loss.
Let's hope the snow stays away long enough to get three more good days of fabulous Test cricket. Read on as we explain how to live stream India vs England 5th Test online from wherever you are – including details of how to watch for free.
