Batting R B 4s 6s SR
Zak Crawleyc Mohammed Siraj b Axar Patel 9 30 1 0 30
7.5
Axar Patel to Zak Crawley, OUT! CAUGHT AT MID OFF! He was trying to unsettle the bowler but the execution was poor. Crawley was trying to be positive but overdid his footwork on this occasion. Axar Patel continues to motor along. 20 wickets already in the series and this match has only started. Tossed up on off, Crawley uses his feet and then looks to go over mid off but it lobs off the lower part of the bat and goes straight up in the air. Siraj settles himself under it and mid off and takes the simplest of catches. England in trouble yet again. 
Dom Sibleyb Axar Patel 2 8 0 0 25
5.2
Axar Patel to Dom Sibley, OUT! TIMBER! There he goes! Axar Patel comes into the attack and gets a breakthrough. It is once again the straighter delivery which has done the trick. England lose a wicket early yet again. Axar bowls a loopy ball on off, Sibley prods forward to defend and looks to play for the turn but it does not spin and goes straight on. It takes the inside edge of Sibley's bat and goes onto hit the top of leg stump. Axar Patel takes a wicket in his first over again. He has had a terrific start to his Test career. 
Jonny Bairstowlbw b Mohammed Siraj 28 67 6 0 41.79
28.1
Mohammed Siraj to Jonny Bairstow, OUT! LBW! Umpire's call on hitting the stumps and Bairstow has to go! He is not impressed as he walks off in anger. Brilliant delivery from Siraj and he gets rewarded for his effort. Good length ball around off, it angles in sharply after pitching. Bairstow looks to defend but he seems to have missed it, hits the pads and goes to the keeper. Pant catches it. Indians appeal and up goes the finger. Bairstow takes the review. The Ultra Edge rolls in and it shows that there is no bat on it while the Ball Tracker shows that it is umpire's call on impact. Bairstow was looking good but he has to go. 
Joe Root (C)lbw b Mohammed Siraj 5 9 1 0 55.56
12.1
Mohammed Siraj to Joe Root, OUT! LBW! Root knows that he is stone-dead there as he turns to go back to the pavilion. Siraj strikes and it is of the big fish, Joe Root. Siraj bowls a good length ball on off, it angles in after pitching. Root is stuck in the crease as he looks to defend but misses and gets rapped on the pads. India appeal and up goes the finger. Root consults his partner whether to take the review but he knows that he is a goner and walks back without taking the review. Siraj troubled Root in the previous over and the English skipper was not looking confident against him. Good decision not to review as the Ball Tracker shows all reds. 
Ben Stokeslbw b Washington Sundar 55 121 6 2 45.45
46.4
Washington Sundar to Ben Stokes, OUT! LBW! Timely wicket for India and Washington Sundar is the man to provide the breakthrough. Stokes was playing for the spin but it does not and goes on with the angle. End of a good innings from Ben Stokes but he needed to continue on and post a big score. Sundar bowls a floated ball on middle, Stokes looks to defend but gets hit on the pads. India appeal and up goes the finger. Stokes does not take the review and walks back in a dejected manner. 
Ollie Popec Shubman Gill b Ravichandran Ashwin 29 87 2 0 33.33
61.3
Ravichandran Ashwin to Ollie Pope, OUT! CAUGHT AT SHORT LEG! It has hit the bat, then hit the pad and went straight to short leg. How unfortunate is that? Pope's fight is over. He fought really hard out in the middle but it has been cut short by Ashwin who gets his first wicket of the game. Loopy ball on middle, Pope dances down the track and then looks to flick but it seems to have taken the inside edge, then onto the pads and straight to Gill at short leg, who pouches it safely. The Indians are confident while Pope has a chat with his partner. The umpires converge and take it upstairs. The soft signal is out. The replays roll in and it shows that it is not a bump ball and it has gone off the bat first, then off the pads, straight to Gill. 
Dan Lawrencest Rishabh Pant b Axar Patel 46 74 8 0 62.16
70.1
Axar Patel to Dan Lawrence, OUT! STUMPED! Lawrence was looking to be positive but does not connect this time and it is an easy stumping for Rishabh Pant. End of a decent knock but he would be disappointed that he could not carry on. Axar Patel bowls it slower through the air outside off, Lawrence dances down the track and then looks to smack it out of the park but gets deceived by it and misses. Pant collects and has no problems in whipping the bails off. Lawrence is nowhere in the picture. Axar has his third. Can he get another 5-fer?
Ben Foakes (W)c Ajinkya Rahane b Ravichandran Ashwin 1 12 0 0 8.33
65.4
Ravichandran Ashwin to Ben Foakes, OUT! CAUGHT AT FIRST SLIP! Ashwin gets another! Sharp chance for Rahane but he is a very good fielder and makes it look very easy. Foakes does not last long at the crease. Beautiful piece of bowling from Ashwin and England are 7 down now. Ashwin tosses this one around off, Foakes lunges forward and then looks to defend but it takes the outside edge and goes towards Rahane at first slip. Ajinkya lunges forward and takes a good catch, just inches above the ground. After going wicket-less in the first two sessions, Ashwin is making the ball talk now in the final one of the day. 
Dom Besslbw b Axar Patel 3 16 0 0 18.75
70.4
Axar Patel to Dom Bess, OUT! LBW! Ball Tracker shows all reds and Axar gets his fourth! Dom Bess departs without making much of an impact and England just one wicket away from getting bowled out. Loopy ball on middle, Bess looks to defend but gets rapped on the pads. India appeal and the finger has gone up. Bess takes the review immediately. There is nothing on Ultra Edge while the Ball Tracker shows all reds so Bess can continue the walk back to the pavilion. 
Jack Leachlbw b Ravichandran Ashwin 7 17 1 0 41.18
75.5
Ravichandran Ashwin to Jack Leach, OUT! LBW! All reds it is and that's the end of the innings! Ashwin ends with three while Axar remains stranded on four. Loopy ball on off, Leach prods forward and looks to defend but misses and gets hit on the pads. There is an appeal for LBW and the finger has gone up. Leach has opted for the review. There is nothing on Ultra Edge while the Ball Tracker shows all reds. ENGLAND ALL OUT FOR 205.

India innings

Shubman Gilllbw b James Anderson 0 3 0 0 0
0.3
James Anderson to Shubman Gill, OUT! LBW! Umpire's call it is and India lose a wicket in the very first over of their first innings. Gill's poor form continues in this series and he has to walk back. Perfect start for England. This is just what they needed after posting a low score. Anderson bowls a good length ball on middle and leg, Gill looks to flick but misses and gets hit on the pads. England appeal and the finger goes up. Gill has a chat with his partner and then signals the 'T'. There is nothing on Ultra Edge while the Ball Tracker shows that it is umpire's call on hitting the stumps. Brilliant from Anderson. 
Rohit Sharmalbw b Ben Stokes 49 144 7 0 34.03
49.6
Ben Stokes to Rohit Sharma, OUT! LBW! Umpire's call on hitting the wickets. Rohit will have to take the long walk back to the pavilion on 49. Massive, massive wicket. It is that man Stokes again. He can do no wrong with the ball. Lovely delivery from Stokes. He gets this ball to jag back in sharply after pitching outside off. Rohit is late in getting his bat down. He gets hit on the back leg. A massive appeal follows and the finger goes up. Stokes roars. He is fired up and why wouldn't he be. This is such a huge wicket. Rohit after having a discussion with his partner goes for the review. Replays roll in. Ultra Edge detects nothing. Ball Tracker time now. Umpire's call on hitting the wickets. The review remains but Rohit has to go. A fine effort but India needed him to go big.
Cheteshwar Pujaralbw b Jack Leach 17 66 1 0 25.76
23.6
Jack Leach to Cheteshwar Pujara, OUT! LBW! Three reds shows the Ball Tracker and Pujara has to go. Big, big success for Leach and England. A poor, poor review from Pujara to be honest. He called for it quickly after the umpire raised the finger and did not even discuss with his batting partner. But to his dismay, it is pad first and the ball is crashing into the stumps. This is 4th time Leach has got better of Pujara. This landed around off and spun into Pujara. Pujara comes forward and looks to defend but misses to get hit on the pad. A massive appeal and the umpire quickly raises his finger. Pujara calls for the review straightaway. But not going to work for him. He has to go as it hit the pad first. Waste of a review from him.
Virat Kohli (C)c Ben Foakes b Ben Stokes 0 8 0 0 0
26.4
Ben Stokes to Virat Kohli, OUT! TAKEN! Stokes strikes and the Indian skipper has been sent packing for a duck. The crowd has gone silent here. Terrific bowling from Stokes. He kept coming at the batters and in his long extended spell, he has got the big fish. He runs in and bowls it short. It is outside off, Kohli is probably looking to get off the mark. Kohli hops and looks to poke it on the off side and get off the mark. He ends up getting a faint outside edge to the keeper. Foakes makes no mistake. Kohli looks shocked as he stands his ground. The extra bounce did the Indian skipper there. Massive, massive wicket for England here. Two big wickets in the session for the visitors.
Ajinkya Rahanec Ben Stokes b James Anderson 27 45 4 0 60
37.5
James Anderson to Ajinkya Rahane, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Anderson gives England their third wicket of the session and ensures that the lunch is a lot tastier for the tourists. 6th time Anderson has got the better of Rahane in Tests. A very good catch from Stokes at second slip as well.  There was swing on offer and that is why Anderson was brought into the attack before Lunch. The veteran pacer does the job for his skipper and his side. Anderson pulls his length back and bowls it in the channel of uncertainty around off. Rahane is committed to his defense. The ball though shapes away and takes the outside edge. It goes dropping to the left of second slip. Ben Stokes, there dives and takes a very fine catch. That will be LUNCH on Day 2!
Rishabh Pant (W)c Joe Root b James Anderson 101 118 13 2 85.59
84.1
James Anderson to Rishabh Pant, OUT! TAKEN! Pant falls now! But not before playing a majestic Test ton. Take a bow, champion. He is mighty disappointed as he heads back to the pavilion. The crowd is standing to appreciate the show-stopper. You live by the sword, you die by it. Pant loves this quote and he often lives up to it. A shortish ball outside off, Pant looks to drag the pull on the leg side. He though ends up hitting it off the toe end. The ball goes straight to the English skipper who makes no mistake. End of a magnificent knock from Pant. He is disappointed big time as he walks back. Hits his pad with the willow but what a knock. India lead by 54.
Ravichandran Ashwinc Ollie Pope b Jack Leach 13 32 2 0 40.63
58.1
Jack Leach to Ravichandran Ashwin, OUT! CAUGHT! Jack Leach gets the wicket but where has this come from? Ashwin and Pant both were looking good out in the middle and this one has somewhat come against the run of play. Jack Leach has bowled well and worked hard and has got his reward. Floated delivery on the pads, the ball stops on the surface before coming to Ashwin. He looks to flick it to the leg side and give the strike to Pant but because the ball stops on the surface, Ashwin's flick is uppish and straight to Pope at short mid-wicket. He makes no mistake and India 6 down and they still trail by 59. Second wicket of the session. Can England get another one before the end of this session? 
Washington Sundarnot out 96 174 10 1 55.17
Axar Patelrun out (Jonny Bairstow / Joe Root) 43 97 5 1 44.33
113.6
Joe Root to Washington Sundar, OUT! The dive does not save Axar! He is a goner. 7 short of his first Test half ton. He is gutted as he walks back. Batted so well till now but he has to go in an unfortunate manner. That is the only way this partnership looked like it will be broken. Coming to the ball now, it is a low full toss, Sundar hits it hard to mid on. Axar wants a run and charges out. He is sent back though as that was hit really well and there was no run in it. Bairstow there picks the ball and throws it to Root who takes the bails off. An appeal and it is referred upstairs. Axar is disappointed as he makes his way back onto his feet after his dive. Replays roll in and they show that he has to walk back. Can England now take the remaining two wickets quickly?
Ishant Sharmalbw b Ben Stokes 0 1 0 0 0
114.1
Ben Stokes to Ishant Sharma, OUT! LBW! Ishant Sharma goes for a first-ball duck! This looked plumb in front and he has to. Stokes gets his third and Washington Sundar might be thinking that he might be stranded here in the 90s. Stokes goes full on middle, Sharma shuffles across and looks to flick but misses and gets rapped on the pads. Stokes and England appeal and up goes the finger. Ishant walks back without taking the review. 
Mohammed Sirajb Ben Stokes 0 3 0 0 0
114.4
Ben Stokes to Mohammed Siraj, OUT! TIMBER! Washington Sundar misses out on a well-deserved hundred as Siraj fails to survive. Good length ball around off, Siraj looks to defend but misses and the ball rattles the timber behind. Stokes ends up with a 4-fer. Sundar walks back a little disappointed but he has played a wonderful knock. INDIA ALL OUT FOR 365 WITH A LEAD OF 160.

4.4
Ravichandran Ashwin to Zak Crawley, OUT! CAUGHT AT FIRST SLIP! Ashwin strikes in his first over and this is the perfect start for India in the second session. Crawley's Test is over and he does not create much of an impact. Ashwin tosses this one up around off, Crawley prods forward to defend but it takes the outside edge and it goes to first slip where Rahane pouches it safely. England still trail by 150 runs and have 9 wickets in hand. 
Dom Sibleyc Rishabh Pant b Axar Patel 3 21 0 0 14.29
9.6
Axar Patel to Dom Sibley, OUT! CAUGHT! Another unfortunate dismissal for England! It was Ollie Pope in the first innings and now it is Dom Sibley in the second. Sibley cannot believe it but he has to walk back. Axar bowls a full ball on middle, Sibley sweeps it hard but it hits Gill on the knees at short leg and lobs up in the air. Pant gets underneath it and catches it safely. The two on-field umpires converge and take it upstairs. The soft signal is out. The replays roll in and they show that it has gone directly off Gill's knees. How unfortunate for Sibley?
Jonny Bairstowc Rohit Sharma b Ravichandran Ashwin 0 1 0 0 0
4.5
Ravichandran Ashwin to Jonny Bairstow, OUT! CAUGHT AT SHORT LEG! Bairstow goes for a first-ball duck and England lose two-in-two. Excellent captaincy from Virat Kohli. Kept a fielder there for this shot and it has worked to perfection. End of a tough series for Jonny Bairstow. This is the third duck for him in 4 innings. Flighted ball on middle, Bairstow flicks but it goes uppishly towards short leg where Rohit Sharma takes a good catch. Ashwin is on a Hat-Trick now. What a start for India!
Joe Root (C)lbw b Ravichandran Ashwin 30 72 3 0 41.67
25.1
Ravichandran Ashwin to Joe Root, OUT! LBW! All reds it is and Root has to go! Ashwin gets his third as well. The end is nigh for England. They are in deep trouble and only a miracle can save them now. The big fish, Joe Root goes and takes a review along with him. Flatter ball on middle, Root goes back in his crease and then looks to defend but he seems to have missed it and gets rapped on the pads. There is an appeal for LBW and the finger has gone up. Root takes the review immediately. The Ultra Edge rolls in and it shows no bat while the Ball Tracker shows all reds. India just 4 wickets away and they still lead by 95 runs. 
Ben Stokesc Virat Kohli b Axar Patel 2 9 0 0 22.22
13.1
Axar Patel to Ben Stokes, OUT! CAUGHT AT SHORT LEG! Straight to the fielder at leg slip! Poor shot and Stokes won't be proud of the shot. Axar Patel gets his second. England are collapsing big time in the second innings and it looks highly likely that this game will end today itself. Flighted ball on middle, Stokes looks to paddle sweep but does not keep it down. It goes uppishly towards leg slip where Virat Kohli takes a simple catch. Stokes walks back disappointed. 
Ollie Popest Rishabh Pant b Axar Patel 15 31 0 1 48.39
24.5
Axar Patel to Ollie Pope, OUT! STUMPED! Excellent work from Pant and Pope has to go! This is excellent bowling from Axar as well. It is his third and Axar keeps on having a great Test series. Flighted ball on off, Pope uses his feet and then looks to flick but the ball turns away and beats the edge of the bat. Pant fails to hold it at first cleanly but still manages to recover and whip the bails off. The third man is called for and the replays show that Pant has done well and Pope is well out. Pant did drop the ball but it was after he whipped the bails off. England 5 down. 
Dan Lawrenceb Ravichandran Ashwin 50 95 6 0 52.63
54.5
Ravichandran Ashwin to Dan Lawrence, OUT! TIMBER! Knocked him over and 30TH 5-five wicket haul for Ashwin! India win the match by an innings and 25 runs. Flighted ball around middle, Lawrence looks to swing it away but misses and the ball hits the timber behind. THEY TAKE THE SERIES 3-1 AND THEY QUALIFY FOR THE WTC FINAL.
Ben Foakes (W)c Ajinkya Rahane b Axar Patel 13 46 0 0 28.26
43.1
Axar Patel to Ben Foakes, OUT! That has indeed carried and it is a fine, fine catch from Rahane! Not sure why he was not confident about that! OUT flashes on the big screen and Foakes has to walk back. The gritty stand has come to an end. The change of ends for Axar has worked. He caused a lot of problems in the last over and now has got Foakes. He slows it up, lands it on off and then gets it to turn away. Foakes looks to defend but the ball takes the outside edge and goes low towards Rahane who dives to his left. He is not sure whether it has carried or not. The umpires take it upstairs. Soft signal being 'NOT OUT'. Replays roll in and they show that it has carried easily. India into the bowling all-rounders now. Trail still above 50.
Dom Bessc Rishabh Pant b Axar Patel 2 6 0 0 33.33
45.1
Axar Patel to Dom Bess, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Axar has another 5-fer! This man has made Test cricket look very easy! 4th 5-fer for him in 3 Test matches. Superb performance from the local lad. Tossed up ball outside off, Bess looks to play the slog sweep but gets an edge back to the keeper. Pant makes no mistake. India two wickets away. 
Jack Leachc Ajinkya Rahane b Ravichandran Ashwin 2 31 0 0 6.45
54.2
Ravichandran Ashwin to Jack Leach, OUT! CAUGHT AT FIRST SLIP! Rahane has taken this one cleanly and Leach has to go! India just one wicket away from a 3-1 victory. Loopy ball on off, Leach looks to defend but it takes the outside edge and goes to Rahane. Rahane at first slip catches it and then calmly gives the ball to the square leg umpire. The two umpires want to be sure and take it upstairs. The soft signal is out. The replays roll in and they show that Rahane has taken it cleanly. The brief resistance from Leach is over.
