A nice innings by the Indian opener. Congratulations,

A valiant effort from the youngsters. They did provide a glimpse of hope. There were three out for one run and then around 325 for five. This is test cricket at its best.

4-1 Congratulations England well played England.

Very few player have contributed in world cricket like Younis Khan and Misbah in Test cricket for there nation.Whenever Pakistan needed they were there like SOLID WALL.Other's play hit and miss game.

A 4-1 defeat feels tough on India. India fought hard, and were only outclassed in one of the five Tests at Lord's. Kohli scored close to 600 runs and he outclassed everyone by miles! There were 5 centuries by Indians as opposed to 3 by England.

@Sarah - This was not about Pak team. Let's be fair.

A valiant effort from India in this match but the score was far too big for them to chase.

This calls for a series with Zimbabwe, so that Virat can get his average back up.

Well done England and well deserved 4 - 1 victory!

The Indians were jumping when they were 325 for 5.

Not surprised with the result

Time for that Zimbabwe Series, so Kohli can bring up his average.

One shouldn't forget that in the current India tour England, India sealed the T20 series by 2-1 & ODI series was lost by a fluke of 1-2. We will get to know the real best Asian team in the upcoming Asia cup.

Given how close the games were, the tosses mostly decided the results. And Joe Root won all five tosses getting England to bat first in all games. The only game where Root chose to bowl first, India won by an innings.

This series loss is quite devastating for Indian captain and his team. India will participate in Asia Cup with psychologically defeated mentality.

Thanks England for winning the last match which threatened at one stage as going towards draw 4-1 means you sailed over the Indians..

Congrats England . Well played.

India need a new captain!

@AXH What about Kohli's below par captaincy?

Shastri will defend this too!

England outplayed India in all departments. Welldone!

That is some drubbing. Not sure why weak teams like India are given such long tours of 5 tests.

Indian batting unit fizzled out all through the series barring individual performance in each game. A very painful and heartbreaking series to watch not as much about the loss as the evident lack of technique to play in seaming conditions.

Team India, you have been Tested, you have been weighed, and you have been found wanting!! Mic

Excellent show once again by Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid, who have time and again proved to be great tangible assets for their team. Well done and keep it up. As far as their opponents were concerned, the lesser said, the better. However, one thing is for sure; without the fake but powerful Indian media, they are zero.

@Sarah Both of them were good for Pakistan. There were many contemporaries who scored more runs and more centuries than both of them.

India should learn its lesson from the series. They won many sessions and days where the bowlers and batsmen dominated opponents but didn't capitalize on those and allowed other team come back into the game. Lost all tosses. Kohli is awesome batsman but as a captain he needs to think more and stop abrupt changes in the team.

I think Kumble and Dravid are better choice than Shastri as a coach.

Congrats James. A fine innings to a retirement. Wish you well.

@Sarah real legends indeed. Misyou.

@AXH hardly. Result was clear on day two. Well played England.

India in England -England win 4-1; England in India India win 5-0

Well played by both teams, no big fights or controversy, quite friendly. Well done England.

well played England. Indian fans should congratulate England ! Well deserved century by Cook and a very poor performance by the Indian team. I think Indian team should arrange more foriegn tours, as the pitches at home are designed for the batsmen only.

@Sarah In India- India win 5-0 In England England win 4-1. Maths question- who won on home/away basis

England is Sher at home pitch only. So, what else is new?

@Sarah That is your opinion. You may not have seen others batting.

@Sarah out of context???

It should not have occurred to India 1-4 so now India realize when other countres, cricket teams, come to India, wickets should not be made to her demand. Instead, it should be accordingly beauty of cricket.

@Sarah none of them could hold a candle im front Of the the real WALL as he known -Dravid

Under pressure indian super stars have always failed....be it Sachin or Kohli

Great result for the English team. Valiant fight back from Rahani and Pant, all the other Indian frontline batsmen offered zero resistance.

@Sarah please add Rahul Dravid also.

Unlucky kohli lost the toss on all 5 occasions. The series would have been more interesting if he had won at least two.

@Mahen "India in England -England win 4-1; England in India India win 5-0" We forget about the toss going 5-0 in English favor and in spite of that India winning one game comprehensively, losing one badly and competing very closely in remaining two. If just two of the tosses went India's way, perhaps they would be 3-1 up by choosing to bat first like the English did.

@Hasan stupid he(virat) score highest in series with best average between two teams..

@bangalore.citizen ....but you still lost, doesn't matter how many 100's your team scored, your argument is the same as writing the correct answer in an exam, but for the wrong question,

India just stick with playing tests at home!!! thats why your number 1

@Avinash not sure if that's true.If it is, people with short height generally end up good batsman. One thing though, against Sam Curran Kohli was nothing short of clueless. All teams will pick this up for sure. About the toss, the pitches in all the tests remained consistent for batting till day 5. Check the reports some time, they are good.

@Dr. Salaria, Aamir Ahmad Also, the lesser said about man of series Curran whose innings was the turning point in two tests, Broad and Anderson who never allowed the Indian top order to get going, Root and Cook whose centuries set up the massive fourth innings target in the last test, the better.

@Q NIKALA Yes more in hope and awe than any thing else, and the English were worried, question is why is India's performance always a benchmark for every thing you guys do as a nation. We do not equate any of our successes or failures with anything pakistan has to offer or for that matter any other country.

I'd like to stress here that India does not have a match winner like Sehwag who tore apart many bowlers like Shoaib Akthar , Saqlain Mushtaq and Brett Lee. Virat Kohli used to be a matchwinner before captaincy but not anymore. He scored close to 600 runs but his team loses 1-4. He says that the matches were closer. I don't think so. Had that been the case, India would've won by margin 3-2 or lost it 2-3 but not 1-4. He's not accepting the reality. He's arrogant and immature. The lesser we talk about Ravi Shastri the better it is. Now, India should play him just as a batsman and look for a new captain. Many people say that Rahane is good. I think he plays too many loose shots and hence should not be there in the team. Also he dropped couple of critical catches Even yesterday he got out to such an irresponsible shot. Had he batted till tea, India could've drawn the match. I think the Indian spectators also should realise that this team is not good to win overseas series.

@Sarai Alamgir Rightly said. There is nothing like moral victory. It is either victory or loss. Batting ability of this team was never tested out side sub continent. In last 8 test it was tested and failed miserably. All front line batsman Vijay, Dhavan, Rahul, Rahne and Pujara (Except couple of good shows).
