Disappointingly, but not surprisingly, rain ruined what promised to be a fascinating finish to the first England vs India Test.
Test cricket, in its glory, provides a thrill like no other format can. This is especially the case after the end of day four in a Test that can still go either way, providing fans with so much to look forward to on day five.
However, the classic English weather put a stop to that in this Nottingham Test. Persistent rain meant that not even a single delivery was possible on day five, providing vindication to all those who predicted there will be at least one rain-affected draw in this series.
The game was nicely placed. India, thanks to some good fight with the bat led by Rohit Sharma, ended the fourth day ahead on 52/1, needing a further 157 runs for victory with nine wickets in hand. However, such a scenario is not a given against England’s capable attack, but unfortunately fans were robbed of the opportunity of another fascinating day’s Test cricket after Joe Root and Jasprit Bumrah performed brilliantly on Saturday.
The silver lining is the memes and Twitter reactions. Here are some beauties from a frustrating day where the Nottingham weather won.
