The ‘Bazball’ era is in full swing. Literally. Brendon McCullum’s England Test team put on a show during his first series in charge, and he will hope for another strong display against India.
New England Test captain Ben Stokes will be delighted with his side’s 3-0 whitewash of New Zealand, which featured a staggering set of innings from Jonny Bairstow.
The Yorkshireman struck the second fastest Test century of all time in a 136-run knock from just 92 balls in the second Test. He went on to pick up 162 from his first innings back on home soil in Leeds during the third Test. Bairstow aptly sealed the whitewash with a six to notch up 71 not out.
England now faces a quick turnaround to be ready to face India. The sides clashed last summer but the fifth Test was cancelled due to rising COVID cases among the visitors’ camp. India led the series 2-1 after four Test matches.
Since the 2021 encounters, both captains, Joe Root and Virat Kohli, have been deposed, replaced by Stokes and Rohit Sharma, though the latter could miss the match after testing positive for COVID.
RadioTimes.com brings you the TV schedule and all the details you need to know about England v India in a big summer of cricket.
