Zak Crawleylbw b Axar Patel 53 84 10 0 63.1
24.4
Axar Patel to Zak Crawley, OUT! LBW! The man who was looking well-set and has scored the bulk of the runs in this innings is out of here and India get their 4th wicket of the session. Axar gets his second of the game and India are all over England like a rash! Floated delivery pitching on middle, this one keeps straight and on a pitch where the ball is turning, the one that does not turn is more dangerous. Crawley gets on his front foot and looks to defend. He plays for the spin but there is none on this delivery. The ball hits him on the pad. A huge appeal follows and the umpire raises his finger. Crawley has a chat with Stokes and they decide not to review it.
Dom Sibleyc Rohit Sharma b Ishant Sharma 0 7 0 0 0
2.3
Ishant Sharma to Dom Sibley, OUT! CAUGHT! What a start from Ishant and India! Brilliant piece of bowling from him. He kept it outside off the entire previous over and this time gets the ball to land in the channel around off, Sibley hangs on the back foot as he looks to defend it. The ball though shapes away a bit to catch the outside edge of Dom's bat. It flies to the second slip where Rohit takes the catch.
Jonny Bairstowlbw b Axar Patel 0 9 0 0 0
6.1
Axar Patel to Jonny Bairstow, OUT! LBW! THREE REDS! Not the best of the returns for Bairstow! He departs for a duck. Arm ball from Axar Patel as Bairstow fails to pick him up. He plays for the defensive push but does not cover the line. He misses but he ball does not as it raps him onto his pads. There is an appeal and the finger goes up. Bairstow straightaway reviews it. The replays roll in as the Ultra Edge comes on and shows that there is no bat involved. Now, time for Ball Tracker as it shows Three Reds, Bairstow departs and takes one of the reviews too along with him.
Joe Root (C)lbw b Ravichandran Ashwin 17 37 2 0 45.95
21.5
Ravichandran Ashwin to Joe Root, OUT! Crawley survives due to Umpire's call but Root is not that lucky as he falls prey to it. England in all sorts of trouble as they lose their skipper. India ruling the roost at the moment with both Axar and Ashwin asking question on every ball. Tosed up around middle, it is the straighter one from Ashwin as Root looks to defend it. He plays for the turn but there isn't any as he misses it to get hit flush on the knee roll. Root does not think he is out as he takes the review. The replays roll in and there is no bat involved confirms the Ultra Edge. Ball Tracker shows Umpire's Call on hitting the stumps. A big, big wicket and it can be seen from the Indian skipper's celebration.
Ben Stokeslbw b Axar Patel 6 24 1 0 25
28.5
Axar Patel to Ben Stokes, OUT! LBW! And once again it is the Umpire's call which has become a nemesis for the English batsmen. Tossed up around off, sliding in with the angle, Ben Stokes looks to play it off the back foot but is beaten there to get rapped on the pads. Stokes reviews it immediately and the replays roll in. No bat there confirms the Ultra Edge as the Ball Tracker shows Umpire's Call on hitting the stumps. England's vice-captain departs.
Ollie Popeb Ravichandran Ashwin 1 12 0 0 8.33
27.4
Ravichandran Ashwin to Ollie Pope, OUT! BOWLED! Ashwin strikes in the very first over of the session! Brilliant bowling as Ashwin once again spins his web around the Englishmen. Nicely tossed up ball around off, Pope prods forward to defend. He plays the original line but the ball turns away from his outside to hit the top of off pole. Half the England side is back into the hut.
Ben Foakes (W)b Axar Patel 12 58 1 0 20.69
48.4
Axar Patel to Ben Foakes, OUT! BOWLED!  Axar gets the final wicket and what a superb performance this is from India and the local boy. Axar Patel finishes with a 6-fer. Tremendous from the left-arm spinner. Short and drifting in. Foakes gets on his back foot and looks to punch. He misses it completely but Axar does not. He hits the middle and off pole. ENGLAND BOWLED OUT FOR 112!
Jofra Archerb Axar Patel 11 18 2 0 61.11
34.2
Axar Patel to Jofra Archer, OUT! Knocked him over! Axar's straight ones are a hit here. Quicker and outside off, coming in with the angle. Don't know what Archer was thinking there as he was late to bring his bat down. The ball sneaks past his inside edge and pegs the off pole back. Just a formality remains.
Jack Leachc Cheteshwar Pujara b Ravichandran Ashwin 3 14 0 0 21.43
37.3
Ravichandran Ashwin to Jack Leach, OUT! CAUGHT! Ashwin gets his third and Leach joins his other teammates back in the pavilion. Flighted delivery on off, Leach lunges forward to defend but the ball turns and takes the outside edge of Jack's blade. It falls to Pujara at gully. He is a very good fielder at that region. He shows good reflex and takes a very good catch inches above the ground. The umpires go upstairs just to check if the catch is a clean one. The Soft Signal is out and replays find Pujara's catch to be clean as a whistle. Leach walks back and England just 8 down with the score yet to reach the triple figure mark. 
Stuart Broadc Jasprit Bumrah b Axar Patel 3 29 0 0 10.34
46.3
Axar Patel to Stuart Broad, OUT! CAUGHT! Axar gets his 5-fer and what a place to get his second 5-wicket haul. In his home ground, in the biggest cricketing ground in the world, and what a way to kick off the stadium's first cricket game. Broad decides enough of the defending lets go for some glory. That brings about his downfall. Floated delivery around off, Broad brings out the big sweep. He does not time it. He hits it high in the air but there is a man at deep square leg. He picks him up to perfection and Jasprit Bumrah theretakes a good catch.

India innings

Batting R B 4s 6s SR
Rohit Sharmalbw b Jack Leach 66 96 11 0 68.75
40.1
Jack Leach to Rohit Sharma, OUT! LBW! One brings two for Jack Leach and the dangerman for India, Rohit Sharma has to trudge back. Full, loopy too, just around the off pole, Rohit Sharma thinks about getting on his knees and sweeping this one away. He misses though and seems to have got hit just above the thigh pad. An appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Sharma walks across and has a quick word with Pant. Decides to take the review. Ultra Edge is not able to save him. Ball Tracker rolls in and the impact is deemed to be umpire's call. The wickets are hitting though and this will be out. India retain the review but have lose half their side, back into the hut now. 
Shubman Gillc Zak Crawley b Jofra Archer 11 51 2 0 21.57
14.6
Jofra Archer to Shubman Gill, OUT! TAKEN! Archer strikes and it is the short ball that does the trick for him. Gill wanted to take him on but the ball came quickly. That was short and wide outside off. Gill looks to drag it from there and deposit it out of the park via a pull stroke. He ends up getting it off the cue end of his bat. The miscued shot goes high in the air but as far as mid-wicket. Zak Crawley gets under it and takes the catch easily. A poor stroke from Gill. He did the hard work of getting his eyes in and then played a rash shot to get dismissed.
Cheteshwar Pujaralbw b Jack Leach 0 4 0 0 0
15.5
Jack Leach to Cheteshwar Pujara, OUT! LBW! 4-ball duck for Pujara and Leach has done the trick for England. That looked plumb and hence Pujara didn't go for the review. This is a massive success for England. It is the arm ball from Leach which pitches around off and skids sharply. Pujara looks to defend off the front but misses to get hit on the pad. A big appeal follows and the umpire agrees with the bowler. Only inside edge can save Pujara. But he is having a word with his partner about the DRS. That means there is no inside edge. And he is walking off. Two wickets in the span of 6 balls. Ball Tracker rolled in a bit later and it showed that it would have crashed in the stumps. So, a good call from Rohit and Pujara to not review.
Virat Kohli (C)b Jack Leach 27 58 3 0 46.55
32.2
Jack Leach to Virat Kohli, OUT! CHOPPED ON! Leach gets the big wicket, just before the Stumps. Huge, huge wicket. Leach is pumped. Shake of the head from Kohli as he walks back with a dejected look on his face. This is floated nicely. It is around off, Kohli hangs on his back foot and looks to cut. That is too close for that shot but the Indian skipper does that. He ends up getting a bottom edge and the ball canons into the stumps. He did all the hard work, looked really good but has been dismissed just before the Stumps.
Ajinkya Rahanelbw b Jack Leach 7 25 1 0 28
38.2
Jack Leach to Ajinkya Rahane, OUT! LBW! India lose a wicket very early on Day 2 and Jack Leach picks up his third wicket! Flatter, around off, comes on straight after hitting the deck, Rahane goes on his back foot, looking to slash this one but the ball gets his pad first and rolls to the off side. A loud appeal and the umpire agrees and raises his finger. Rahane comes ahead, and has a quick word with Rohit, from his crease. He does not think technology can help him and so he walks back. Jack continues to torment the Indians and this is what Root would have wanted starting Day 2! 
Rishabh Pant (W)c Ben Foakes b Joe Root 1 8 0 0 12.5
41.1
Joe Root to Rishabh Pant, OUT! EDGED AND CAUGHT! The first ball that Joe Root bowls and he gets the big fish, Rishabh Pant. England have started off the day brilliantly as they have scalped 3 quick wickets. Root gives this one nice air and lands it around off, it lands and then turns away. Pant is tempted into having a feel of this one. All he manages to do is get a thin inside edge, which Ben Foakes gobbles up. A loud appeal and the umpire does not take long to raise his finger. Pant has a chat with Ashwin, but decides that the review will not do him any good. Walks back disappointed and England are on top at the moment.
Ravichandran Ashwinc Zak Crawley b Joe Root 17 32 3 0 53.13
49.2
Joe Root to Ravichandran Ashwin, OUT! CAUGHT! Ashwin departs! Good catch from Zak Crawley and Root gets his 4th. 4/5 for the England skipper! WOW! Flighted outside off, Ashwin looks to take the attack to the England skipper. He looks to go for a big slog sweep. He has to fetch out for it and there is some extra bounce as well. It sees the ball hit the upper portion of the bat and go high in the air. Crawley at deep mid-wicket judges the catch well under the sun and takes a good catch. It has been a fruitful return for Crawley so far. 
Washington Sundarb Joe Root 0 12 0 0 0
45.1
Joe Root to Washington Sundar, OUT! TIMBER! WOAHHH! Beauty of a delivery from Root and Sundar goes back for a 12-ball duck. Silence all around when the stump was hit. Root bowls this fuller and around middle, spins away sharply as Sundar comes ahead to block. He misses and the ball goes on to clip the top of the off stump. India lose another one and are staring down the barrel now! 
Axar Patelc Dom Sibley b Joe Root 0 2 0 0 0
45.3
Joe Root to Axar Patel, OUT! CAUGHT! Axar Patel has tried to take the aerial route but loses the wicket in the process. Full, loopy, around off too, Patel thinks about starting his inning off with a boundary. Skips down the track and looks to slam this one over Sibley at short cover. Does not get the elevation and Dom Sibley takes this one nicely. Root has yet to concede a single run and he has already snared 3 quick wickets. 
Ishant Sharmanot out 10 20 0 1 50
Jasprit Bumrahlbw b Joe Root 1 12 0 0 8.33
53.2
Joe Root to Jasprit Bumrah, OUT! LBW! Root gets his first 5-fer in Test cricket. What a spell of bowling this has been from the England skipper. All the talk was about England playing a spinner short but the captain has delivered with the ball himself. Slightly shorter on middle and off, Bumrah looks to slog it across the line. He misses and gets hit on the back pad. An appeal follows and the umpire raises his finger. Bumrah takes it upstairs and it seems like it is just a hopeful review. Replay rolls in and Ball Tracker shows all red. Root finishes with 5/8. INDIA BOWLED OUT FOR 145! Lead by 33!

England innings

Batting R B 4s 6s SR
Zak Crawleyb Axar Patel 0 1 0 0 0
0.1
Axar Patel to Zak Crawley, OUT! BOWLED! Wicket off the very first delivery! Crawley who was magnificent in the first innings has gone for a golden duck. The local boy stuck in his very first ball of the first innings and he has done the same in the second innings. Terrible start for England! Perfect one for India.  Axar starts with a slowish delivery pitching on off. He gives this one air, the ball drifts and does not turn. Crawley looks to defend expecting it to spin but gets beaten by the straighter one and the ball hits the middle stump. What a stunning game this is turning out to be.
Dom Sibleyc Rishabh Pant b Axar Patel 7 25 0 0 28
8.3
Axar Patel to Dom Sibley, OUT! CAUGHT! The third wicket for Axar and England lose another one. Top decision from the on-field umpire! Axar gives this one air and lands it around off, Sibley gets on his knees and looks to slog sweep this one away to the leg side. Misses and the ball goes past him, into Pant's mitts. A loud appeal from the Indians and the umpire raises his finger. Hmm...Sibley takes the review straightaway, does not even consult Root, which would suggest that he knows he has not got any bat on this. Well, Sibley, looks like you were wrong as Ultra Edge shows a clear spike as the ball is going past the bat. The on-field decision stays and the local lad, Patel is on a roll. England are behind by 14 runs. 
Jonny Bairstowb Axar Patel 0 2 0 0 0
0.3
Axar Patel to Jonny Bairstow, OUT! BOWLED! Bairstow does not last long. Axar does not get the hat-trick but gets a wicket off the third ball of the innings. What a peach of a delivery this is from Axar, the local boy. Once again horrible technique from Bairstow. Floated delivery pitching on middle. Bairstow gets on the front foot and looks to defend expecting it to turn. The ball does not. Jonny leaves a 'not-so-bravo' gap between the bat and pad. The ball goes right between those and hits the top of leg.
Joe Root (C)lbw b Axar Patel 19 45 0 0 42.22
18.5
Axar Patel to Joe Root, OUT! LBW! The big wicket, the big fish, the England captain Joe Root, who was looking good out in the middle is out of here and England have half their side back in the hut with the lead just at 23. Axar gets his 10th of the game and playing just his second Test, he now has a 10-wicket game as well. What a bowler! No Jadeja, no problem. The local by has done the job for his nation here at his home venue. Tremendous feeling for Axar. He would have dreamt of this moment as a child and he has achieved his dreams. The round arm action of Axar once again does the trick. Floated on middle, the ball skids off the surface and comes straight. Root looks to defend but gets beaten and the ball hits him on the pad. A huge appeal follows and the umpire raises his finger. Root does not even bother reviewing this as he knew that this one was plumb. 
Ben Stokeslbw b Ravichandran Ashwin 25 34 3 0 73.53
17.2
Ravichandran Ashwin to Ben Stokes, OUT! LBW! Ashwin gets his bunny again and this is the 11th time that Ashwin has got Stokes in Tests! The fourth wicket falls now and Stokes' poor run in this series will continue. Ashwin bowls a full ball, gives it nice loop and lands it around off and middle, Stokes comes ahead and looks to block this one out but misses. Gets rapped on the pad and the Indians go up, in appeal. The umpire does not take long to raise his finger. Stokes walks across to his skipper, Root and has a chat but Ben has a look, of someone who is not too confident. He looks to walk back, but Joe stops him and it looks like they will go for it, with around 2 seconds left on the timer. But, in the end, Ben probably says no and decides to walk off. India doing well to chip at these wickets. England leading by 17 runs.
Ollie Popeb Ravichandran Ashwin 12 15 2 0 80
21.6
Ravichandran Ashwin to Ollie Pope, OUT! BOWLED! Ashwin gets the better of Pope. AGAIN!  Another one bites the dust and England are into the bowlers now. Floated delivery pitching on middle, Pope looks to defend but the ball pitches, turns and bounces away from him. The Englishman is completely squared up as the ball goes past the outside edge to hit the off pole. 6 down for 66 but effectively the tourists are 33/6!
Ben Foakes (W)lbw b Axar Patel 8 28 0 0 28.57
28.2
Axar Patel to Ben Foakes, OUT! LBW! Axar gets his 5th of the innings. Becomes the first bowler in Tests to pick up 11 wickets in a Day-Night Test.  Ben Foakes' battle out in the middle comes to an end and England lose yet another review. Another ball that does not turn off the surface has got the wicket. Round arm delivery pitching on middle, Foakes looks to defend but misses and gets hit on the pad. An appeal follows and the umpire raises his finger. Foakes reviews it. Ultra Edge rolls on and after a lot of replays, it is confirmed that the ball did not hit the bat. Time for the Ball Tracker and it shows all red. 
Jofra Archerlbw b Ravichandran Ashwin 0 2 0 0 0
23.2
Ravichandran Ashwin to Jofra Archer, OUT! LBW! As plumb as it gets! Ashwin gets his 400th Test wicket and India or shall we say the Indian spinners have spun a web around the England batters, which they have not been able to get past. Darted fuller on middle, Archer looks to whack it across the line. He misses and gets hit on the pad. An appeal follows and the umpire raises the finger. Archer decides to send it upstairs. No saving the big man as Ultra Edge first shows no bat and then Ball Tracker shows all red. Victim number 400 for Ashwin and he becomes the second fastest to the feat. He is happy and so are his teammates. He shows the ball to the crowd and he might keep this pink ball.
Jack Leachc Ajinkya Rahane b Ravichandran Ashwin 9 22 0 1 40.91
29.4
Ravichandran Ashwin to Jack Leach, OUT! CAUGHT! Leach looked to drive and Ashwin picks up another! The end is nearing for England now. Ashwin bowls a full ball, outside off, gives it nice air, enticing Leach to go for the big booming drive through the off side. All Jack manages to do is induce an outside edge, which goes to Rahane, at first slip, who takes it nicely. India one wicket away from dismissing the visitors and England lead by 47 runs.
Stuart Broadnot out 1 7 0 0 14.29
James Andersonc Rishabh Pant b Washington Sundar 0 3 0 0 0
30.4
Washington Sundar to James Anderson, OUT! CAUGHT! That is the end of England's innings! Anderson has been given caught behind and they are out of reviews so Anderson cannot do anything. Floated outside off, Anderson looks to play the reverse sweep but gets a feather on it. Washington Sundar takes a very good catch and Sundar ends the game with a wicket in the solitary over he bowls. ENGLAND BOWLED OUT FOR 81! INDIA NEED 49 TO WIN!
