England beat India yesterday, at Edgebaston, by scoring 378 runs in the fourth innings: more than they have ever scored, to win a test match, in their previous 1,051 matches. Wow! And, equally amazingly, they achieved the feat with such apparent ease that the result barely seemed to be in doubt. Yorkshiremen Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow each scored a century, reaching the mammoth target with two sessions, and seven wickets, to spare. If this is the future of test cricket… then bring it on!
