Preview
Two Tests later and the final stage in this Investec Test series has taken on an entirely different complexion. India's team selection has been strange, resilient is the last word that would be used to describe their pitiful batting display in the second innings at Old Trafford and it is Dhoni's wicketkeeping and tactics that are now under scrutiny with his side 2-1 down with one to play.
Match Stats
1.Anderson needs eight wickets to overtake Ian Botham's England record of 383 Test victims. He already has 21 wickets in the series.
2.Kohli's run of eight innings without a fifty since his unbeaten hundred against New Zealand in Wellington is the worst run in his 28-Test career.
3.Stuart Boad tweeted pictures of the super villain Bane as options for a face mask he could wear to protect his broken nose. Bane is known as "The Man Who Broke The Bat", which would seem appropriate, except that refers to Batman, not cricket bats, and anyway Bane took so many illegal substances to achieve his strength that Broad would only fail a drugs test.
