Ben Stokes provided an Ian Botham moment of scene-stealing drama to announce his return as an all-rounder but even that could not disguise a day of methodical screw-turning by India.]]>
This felt like a by-election in Ranchi with England sitting on a 20,000 majority at the start of the day. By the time the polls closed they could taste defeat and were wondering just how they had ended up in this mess.]]>
When the itinerary for this series was announced Shoaib Bashir was preparing to play against Devon in Newton Abbot and hoping to piece together a county career with Somerset.]]>
