England's big win at Headingley has come in for a lot of praise from netizens on Twitter.
Fifties from England's top three and the 23rd Test century from skipper Joe Root (121) at No. 4 took England to 423/8 at stumps, 345 runs ahead of the visitors' first-innings total of 78 all out.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan feels that only consolation for England right now is that their Ashes opponents Australia are in turmoil in both on and off-field matters.
The former England captain has said that head coach Chris Silverwood too should be held accountable for the team's defeat against the Virat Kohli-led India.
Vaughan tweeted that Ashes could also be "hugely" affected due to the current bio-bubble and quarantine rules.
Hales was banned a couple of years ago ahead of the 2019 World Cup after testing positive for recreational drug use.
Kohli feels the best Test team in the world should not be decided by a one-off game like it was in the inaugural edition. The Indian unit had lost their opening Tests against Australia and England before staging a stellar comeback.
Kevin Pietersen too has come out in support of English cricketers on the prospect of them not being able to take their families to Australia during the Ashes tour.
Former England skipper Michael Vaughan believes the iconic Ashes series should be cancelled if families are not allowed to travel with the players for the four-month long tour of Australia.
New Zealand started the fifth day on 101/2 in reply to India's 217 in the first innings. The WTC Final is set to run into the reserve day on Wednesday.
Vaughan said England erred in not picking a specialist spinner in the playing eleven for the two Tests against New Zealand.
The ECB has promised "relevant and appropriate action", saying each case will be considered on an individual basis.
Robinson, in only his debut Test, took four wickets for 75 runs in the first innings as the Kane Williamson-led New Zealand were all out for 378.
The win percentage for Dhoni the skipper is not remarkable in comparison to Kohli, but it is the big trophies that Dhoni has won for India that has placed him above the rest
Vaughan added that Joe Root and Virat Kohli are going to be the top-scorers in the Test series while Jasprit Bumrah and Chris Woakes will be the top wicket-takers.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan talked about the three key players to focus on the final. He named two New Zealand cricketers, and one from India.
The inaugural WTC final will be a repeat of the 2019 World Cup semi-final where New Zealand had secured an 18-run win in a rain-marred encounter against India.
Vaughan recently said that Kane Williamson would have been the 'greatest player in the world' if he was Indian, adding that the Kiwi spearhead is 'silent about what he does'.
Kohli and Williamson will be up against each other when India and New Zealand lock horns in the inaugural World Test Championship (WTC) final from June 18th.
Ahead of the much-awaited titular clash in the WTC, the speculations over one captain outperforming the other have already begun in the cricketing circles.
