The pair of Jasprim Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj, who came to bat last for India, kept England away from victory for some time, but they have not been able to reach the target for India.
Team India must be missing its star batsman Virat Kohli today. Three Indian batsmen scored half-centuries in the first innings. However, in the second innings no batsman could reach the half-century mark.
The entire England team was all out for 246 runs in the first innings. India scored 436 runs in reply and took a lead of 190 runs over the British. Indian bowlers could not show anything special in the second innings and England scored 420 runs on the basis of Ollie Pope’s inning of 196 runs.
England gave India a target of 231 runs on the fourth day to win. Indian top order batsmen could not understand the spin of Tom Hartley and kept getting out continuously. Captain Rohit Sharma scored the maximum 39 runs in the second innings for India.
Shubman Gill once again disappointed and returned to the pavilion without opening his account. Yashasvi Jaiwal, KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja, who scored half-centuries in the first innings, also could not show anything special in the second innings. Jaiswal was out after scoring 15 runs, Rahul 22 and Jadeja after scoring 2 runs.
By tea time, England’s debut bowler Hartley did not allow India’s top order to get off to a good start on a slow pitch. India lost three wickets for 95 runs by tea on the fourth day.
India got off to a solid start as captain Rohit Sharma (39) along with Yashasvi Jaiswal (15) added 42 runs in 11.4 overs. Rohit also gave good sweeps and reverse sweeps to the English spinners but Hartley broke this partnership and dismissed Jaiswal. He returned after catching Pope at Silly Point.
After two balls, Shubman Gill also returned who could not even open his account. This time also Pope took the catch at silly point. Hartley took the third wicket by LBWing Rohit. After this, Rahul and Akshar played cautiously and did not lose any wicket. Akshar was sent over Shreyas Iyer to face Hartley.
The lack of ‘Plan B’ in Indian bowling was clearly visible as the bowlers bowled the English batsmen outside the off stump or on the pads. England’s batsmen scored above 400 in the second innings and only for the second time after 2012 against India, a team has managed to touch this figure.
Pope made a partnership of 80 runs with Tom Hartley (35) in 106 balls. He played reverse sweep and sweep shots very well. Ravichandran Ashwin broke this partnership and dismissed Hartley. After this India took quick wickets. Jasprit Bumrah ended England’s innings by dismissing Pope on a slow ball.
