For India, only a win is a win. England will consider a draw a victory. England's expectation management skills are my #relationshipgoals 😄

England's definitely 'moved on' from Kevin Pietersen – from No1 in the world to global cricket laughing stock. #BringBackKP

Virtually nothing from Kohli, Pujara and Ashwin. And yet a win. Most encouraging aspect of the test for India
