That's it, folks
And with that India have completed a thoroughly dominant performance. We leave you with a promise for more next week, and a teaser from the final report.
India needed such a day. Just to send the message out to those who had started believing they could be taken down at home. A team in transition, India have lost three Tests in a little over three years, two more than they did in the preceding eight years, but in Rajkot they delivered an emphatic shellacking to their latest challengers: India’s biggest win by runs, and England’s second-biggest defeat, 434 runs. On a spring Sunday, with not a cloud in sight, in front of a big crowd, the batting took apart the visiting bowlers to set an impossible target before their bowlers turned the same pitch into a minefield. Along the way, they broke a handful of records while threatening just as many. It was first such dominance for the new set of batters.
