| 2.3 : 2.3: Shami to A Cook, OUT! BOWLED 'EM! This is a peach! Good length ball on middle and off, nice movement there, Cook tries to defend it off his back foot but misses it completely. The ball goes through his defense and rattles the timber. It has in fact broken the stump. Crazy stuff! The ball hit the top of off stump and that part is broken. Cook looked clueless there. Reminds me of a delivery which Ryan Harris bowled to him during the 2013-14 Ashes series. |
| 6.2 : 6.2: M Shami to Root, FOUR! That's a really good shot! Angles it on the pads, Root comes forward and flicks it through the backward square leg region. The ball wins the race and goes past the fence. |
| 6.5 : 6.5: M Shami to Root, FOUR! Fuller length ball on the pads, too straight by Shami now, Root flicks it through the gap between mid on and mid-wicket for a boundary. Good batting! |
| 9.5: U Yadav to Root, FOUR! Well played! Tad full outside off, Root drives it beautifully through point for a glorious boundary. Lovely timing. |
| 18.5: R Jadeja to Joe Root, FOUR! EDGED! Floated on middle, Root comes down to work it through mid on but gets a leading edge past the first slip fielder. Vijay gives it a chase but the ball wins the race. |
| 20.6 : 20.6: R Jadeja to J Root, OUT! RUN OUT! Flatter on middle, Root clips it through mid-wicket and runs the first one hard. Jayant Yadav chases it well and stops the ball and fires the throw at the striker's end in one motion. Root wants the second but spots it is not on and sends Hameed back late. The keeper collects the ball and despite not being in balance he manages to deflect it onto the stumps. That is brilliant work and Hameed is caught short of the crease. Third umpire referred and replays |
| 22.5 : 22.5: R Jadeja to Joe Root, FOUR! EDGED! Fuller outside off, Root drives it with an outside edge through the vacant gully region for a boundary. Kohli needs to get a gully in, he has a good score on board too. |
| 24.4 : 24.4: R Jadeja to Root, FOUR! This one is on the pads, Root clips it away off the inside edge down to the fine leg fence for a boundary. |
| 27.3 : 27.3: R Ashwin to Duckett, OUT! TIMBER! Floated on middle, Duckett plants his front leg away from the stumps and plays down the wrong line and is beaten all ends up. The ball goes past his outside edge and cannons into the off stump. Ashwin is all pumped up and why not. Another failure for Ben and given how he has played spin so far, could have more failures lined up unless he works on his off side game. It was also how he got out in the first innings at Rajkot, just that he was out caught at fi |
| 31.5 : 31.5: R Ashwin to Root, OUT! The move to go over the wicket works! Floated outside off, Root thinks it as a chance to score, he slinks down the wicket to hit it over covers. He is too close to the ball and ends up lofting it towards Umesh Yadav at deep mid off who runs to his left and takes the catch happily. Ashwin gets the big wicket and he is all excited. England still trail by 376 runs! |
| 34.2 : 34.2: J Yadav to Ali, OUT! That's hitting! Flighted on middle, Moeen comes forward to defend but gets hit on the pads. There is an appeal for a leg before but the umpire says no. India decide to take a review as they look confident. Yadav convinces his skipper and Kohli takes a quick review. Replays show it's pad first. The ball tracking technology shows the impact is in line and the ball would have hit the leg stump so that's out. Decision overturned! Jayant Yadav picks up his maiden Test wicke |
| 42.5 : 42.5: J Yadav to Stokes, FOUR! Shortish outside off, Stokes goes onto his back foot and punches it through the cover region for a boundary. |
| 48.5: R Ashwin to Bairstow, FOUR! Hit away! Landed outside off, Bairstow goes back and pulls it through mid-wicket for a boundary. That was a carrom ball from Ashwin. |

| 52.6: R Ashwin to Stokes, FOUR! Shorter outside off, Stokes cuts it through extra covers where Jayant fumbles a touch and allows the ball through for a boundary. |
| 53.3 : 53.3: U Yadav to Bairstow, FOUR! EDGED! Good length outside off, Bairstow looks to punch it through but gets an edge which runs through the gap between the first and second slip fielders for a boundary. May or may not have carried to the fielder. |
| 56.4 : 56.4: R Ashwin to Stokes, FOUR! Swept away! Floated on middle and leg, Stokes sweeps it down to the fine leg region for a boundary. |
| 62.1 : 62.1: R Ashwin to Stokes, FOUR! Hammered! Floated on off, Stokes comes down the wicket, takes it on the full and drives it through mid off for a superb boundary. |
| 64.1: R Ashwin to Bairstow, FOUR! EDGED! Shorter outside off, Bairstow look to punch it but gets an outside edge past the first slip fielder for a boundary. He may not loooked to punch it that fine. |
| 67.6 : 67.6: R Jadeja to Stokes, FOUR! Drops it short and outside off, Stokes quickly camps back and punches it through cover-point for a boundary all the way. Lovely shot! |
| 68.4 : 68.4: J Yadav to Bairstow, FOUR! He has picked the bones out of that one. Floated ball outside off, Bairstow gets down and sweeps it powerfully through square leg. It goes on the bounce to the fence. |
| 70.3 : 70.3: J Yadav to Stokes, FOUR! Flayed! Yadav offers a long hop around off, Stokes camps back and nails the punch through point. No one out in the deep and Stokes gets another boundary. That has been his scoring area today. |
| 73.6 : 73.6: R Jadeja to Bairstow, FOUR! Jonny Bairstow gets to his fifty as well. Another impressive knock this from the English keeper. Full and outside off, Bairstow looks to drive it through the off side but gets an outside edge through gully for a boundary. |
| 74.4 : 74.4: U Yadav to Ben Stokes, FOUR! That goes flying down to third man! Short and served in the channel outside off, Stokes looks to cut but gets a thick outside edge past the second slip for a boundary down to third man. Runs coming at a brisk rate for England. |
| 78.3 : 78.3: Yadav to J Bairstow, OUT! Umesh Yadav provides the much-needed breakthrough! Anil Kumble in the dressing room is applauding, looks a happy man. It's full and angling into the batsman at 142 kph, Bairstow looks to clip it across the line but misses as the ball brushes the pads and deflects on to the stumps. Yadav jumps and then punches the air in joy. A vital 110-run stand has been broken and England still need 66 to avoid the follow-on. |
| 83.2 : 83.2: M Shami to Stokes, FOUR! Top shot! Fuller on middle and leg, Stokes clips it through mid-wicket for a boundary. That is a superb shot, lovely timing. |
| 84.2: U Yadav to Rashid, FOUR! Easy pickings! Fuller on middle, Rashid clips it nicely through the fine leg region for a boundary. 200 up for England! |
| 84.4 : 84.4: U Yadav to Rashid, FOUR! SWEET! Fuller outside off, Rashid comes forward and opens the face of the bat through cover-point for a lovely boundary. That was lovely timing. |
| 84.6 : 84.6: U Yadav to Rashid, FOUR! Rashid is watching the ball alright! Yadav follows up the short one with a fuller one that is driven through the covers for a superb boundary. Kohli is not happy at all since it was asking to be hit and was duly hit. |
| 86.1 : 86.1: U Yadav to Rashid, FOUR! Rashid is not helping Umesh! Good length on middle, Rashid gets on the top of it and rolls it through backward square leg for a boundary. Kohli is changing the field now. |
| 86.3 : 86.3: U Yadav to Stokes, FOUR! POWERED! Shorter outside off, Stokes gets under it and hammers it through mid-wicket for a boundary. That was hit with a lot of disdain. |
| 89.4 : 89.4: R Jadeja to Stokes, FOUR! Top shot! Two misses and this time Stokes get to the pitch of the ball and sweeps it hard through square leg for a boundary. |
| 90.4: Ashwin to Stokes, OUT! Drama as Stokes' review goes in vain! Floated on middle and off, Stokes comes forward to defend but is hit on his pads. The silly point collects the ball and joins the appeal. There is a loud noise for an lbw and Kumar Dharamasena upholds the appeal. Stokes comes down and has a word with Rashid and goes for the review. Replays are not conclusive enough to show that there was inside edge as Stokes had played that with his bat and pad together. It stays with the on-fie |
| 92.6 : 92.6: R Ashwin to Ansari, FOUR! Good shot! Ansari strides forward, takes it on the full and bunts it wide of the mid on fielder for a boundary to get off the mark. |
| 94.1 : 94.1: R Ashwin to Rashid, FOUR! Heaved! Floated on middle, Rashid goes after it and heaves it through mid-wicket for a boundary. That went off the inner half of the bat. |
| 95.1: R Jadeja to Ansari, OUT! ANSARI FALLS! Floated on off, Ansari plays all over it and is rapped in front of the stumps. Jadeja appeals and the umpire has no doubts over it. Ansari comes down to have a chat and suggests there were possibly an edge and goes for the review. Replays confirm there was no bat there and he was hit on his front pad first. Ball Tracker shows three reds and Ansari has to go. Wonder why would you review that. The two noises were the ball hitting both the pads. England |
| 97.6 : 97.6: J Yadav to A Rashid, FOUR! Edged! Short and flatter through the air outside off, Rashid once again looks to cut it but gets a thick outside edge past second slip as the ball runs down to the third man fence for a boundary. |
| 99.3 : 99.3: J Yadav to Broad, FOUR! That's creamed and 250 up for England! Loopy ball outside off, Broad stands grounded as he nails the drive through the gap at covers for a pleasing boundary. |
| 102.4 : 102.4: R Ashwin to Broad, OUT! Ashwin has another! No reviews left which means Stuart Broad will have to walk back to the pavilion. Ash bowls a slider around middle and leg, skidding in with the angle. Broad gets back to flick but misses and is hit on the pads. A loud appeal follows and umpire Dharmasena gives it out. Replays show it would have gone on to miss the stumps. England still need 1 run to avoid the follow-on and trail by 200 runs! |
| 102.5 : 102.5: Ashwin to Anderson, OUT! Anderson gone first ball, England fail to avoid the follow-on, trail be a massive 200 runs but of all RAVICHANDRAN ASHWIN GETS HIS 22ND TEST 5-FER! What a performance from the offie, yet again. Bowls a loopy delivery around middle, gets it to drift through the surface as Anderson gets back to punch it through the off side but misses and is rapped on the pads right in front of the stumps. Ashwin appeals and sees the finger going up. ENGLAND BOWLED OUT FOR 255! |
| 7.1 : 7.1: A Rashid to Rahul, FOUR! NICELY DONE! Floated outside off, KL Rahul goes back and cuts it through backward point for a boundary. He waited for it and placed it well. The point fielder jumped for some reason. |
| 7.6 : 7.6: A Rashid to Rahul, FOUR! Paddled! KL Rahul gets in line and paddles it down to the fine leg fence for a boundary. That was nicely done by Rahul. |
| 8.3 : 8.3: S Broad to M Vijay, OUT! Good review by England! Bowls it outside off, comes in with the angle, Vijay looks to defend from his crease but gets an inside edge onto his pads as he is beaten by the inward movement. The ball lobs up towards Joe Root at gully who dives forward to take the catch. Broad celebrates but cannot believe it is not given out. England go for the review. Replays confirm the edge and the catch is clean as well. Vijay has to go. Twin failures for him. India lead by 216 runs |
| 10.1 : 10.1: S Broad to Rahul, OUT! BROAD STRIKES AGAIN! Bowls it outside off, KL Rahul comes forward to defend but is beaten all ends up as the ball goes past the outside edge. The keeper and the skipper put their hands up but are not sure. Broad is not sure as well but then contemplates a review. Hameed from short leg signals to Cook that there was a faint edge. Stokes comes in from covers and also gives his approval. They go for the review. The replays confirm there was an edge there and another dec |
| 10.6 : 10.6: S Broad to V Kohli, FOUR! TOP SHOT! Outside off on a fuller length, Kohli strides forward and drives it through wide mid off for a boundary. That is really well timed. |
| 11.6: A Rashid to Kohli, FOUR! Kohli is not letting England get away here! Floated outside off, Kohli gets on top of it and crashes it through point for a boundary. |
| 15.1 : 15.1: Ben Stokes to Kohli, FOUR! Total control! Fuller outside off, Kohli presents the full face of the bat and pushes it down the ground. The ball races past the mid off fielder for a boundary. That raced away to the fence. |
| 15.3 : 15.3: Ben Stokes to Kohli, FOUR! Streaky! Good length outside off, this one keeps low, Kohli still manages to get some bat on it, he opens the face and gets it through gully for a boundary. That came off the bottom half of the bat. |
| 16.5 : 16.5: Anderson to C Pujara, OUT! TIMBER! Anderson bowls it outside off on a length, gets it to nip in after pitching, Pujara plays down the wrong line and is beaten. There is a huge gap between the bat and pad and the ball sneaks through it to hit the top of middle stump. Anderson has made an impact and Pujara has to go back. India lead by 240 runs. |
| 17.1 : 17.1: Ben Stokes to Kohli, FOUR! Sublime! Fuller on off, Kohli just slams it down the ground past mid on. The ball raced away to the fence. Stokes is shaking his head in disbelief. That was elegantly hit by Virat Kohli, sheer brilliance. |
| 20.6 : 20.6: J Anderson to Rahane, FOUR! Every ball misbehaved in this over! Some stayed low, some bounced. The batting is going to get tougher. Back of a length ball on off, Rahane gets back and punches it through point for a boundary. |
| 22.2 : 22.2: J Anderson to Rahane, FOUR! Elegant! Fuller in length, Anderson rolls his fingers on the ball and serves it on off. Rahane leans into it and drives it on the up through covers. Through the gap and away she goes for a boundary. |
| 33.3 : 33.3: A Rashid to Kohli, FOUR! Nicely done! Shorter on middle, keeps low, Kohli goes back and pulls it through mid-wicket for a boundary. Kohli adjusted to the bounce superbly. |
| 36.1 : 36.1: S Broad to Kohli, FOUR! Gorgeous! Fuller length ball outside off, Kohli leans onto it and drives it beautifully through the mid off region for a glorious boundary. |
| 38.5 : 38.5: S Broad to Rahane, OUT! Edged and gone! It's a length ball outside off, a leg-cutter, Rahane pokes at it and gets a thick outside edge. The ball flies straight into the hands of Alastair Cook at first slip who makes no mistake. Stuart Broad takes his third wicket. Twin failure for Rahane in this Test match. India lead by 317 runs. |
| 39.5: A Rashid to Ashwin, FOUR! Fullish on middle, Ashwin comes down the track and hits it down the ground. Rashid fails to stop the ball to his right and it races away to the fence for a boundary. Good shot, that. Was it a dropped though? |
| 42.1 : 42.1: S Broad to Ashwin, OUT! Broad picks up another wicket and this time no review by Ashwin! Fuller length ball outside off, angled in, Ashwin tries to defend but gets a faint edge to the keeper behind. The umpire raises his finger and Ashwin starts walking back. Broad picks up his fourth wicket, he has bowled really well here and he's not even hundred percent fit. |
| 43.1: Rashid to Saha, OUT! Umpire's call! It's a googly around off, Saha lunges forward to defend but misses the variation and gets hit on the pads. The umpire takes his time and raises his finger as England appeal for a leg before. Saha waits for a while and decides to take a review. Replays show the ball would have clipped the leg stump so that is umpire's call which is out. India are six down, lead by 330 runs. |
| 44.1: S Broad to V Kohli, FOUR! EDGED! Good length ball outside off, Kohli tries to push but gets an outside edge. The ball goes through the vacant slip region and runs past the fence. |
| 45.6 : 45.6: A Rashid to Jadeja, SIX! THAT'S CLOBBERED! Bowls a loopy ball on middle, turning away. Jadeja puts in a big stride forward and clears the long on fence with ease. Great timing on that one! |
| 47.1 : 47.1: A Rashid to V Kohli, OUT! How did Stokes catch that? Bowls it slower through the air outside off, spinning away. Kohli lunges forward and flashes at it hard but only manages to get a thick outside edge. It flies to the right of Stokes at first slip and he dives athletically to grab a stunner. It is a terrific reflex catch and the crowd goes silent! A superb knock from the skipper comes to an end and he misses out on a ton. India lead by 351 runs. |
| 48.2 : 48.2: S Broad to J Yadav, FOUR! Lucky for Yadav! On a length outside off at 145 clicks, angling in. Yadav stays back and there is nothing much he can do about it. He pushes at it but gets a thick outside edge that runs past Bairstow and through to the boundary. The pitch is becoming more and more difficult to bat on. |
| 51.5 : 51.5: A Rashid to Jadeja, OUT! Jadeja departs in the hunt for quick runs! Tossed up on the stumps, Jadeja kneels and goes for the slog sweep. Doesn't time it that well and hits it right down the throat of Moeen Ali at deep mid-wicket who gets underneath it and takes a simple catch. Rashid gets his third and he has bowled pretty well. |
| 53.3 : 53.3: A Rashid to Yadav, OUT! Rashid gets his fourth! Getting rewards for his probing lines and lengths! Bowls it slow through the air on middle and leg, Yadav with minimal foot movement looks to heave across the line but misses it completely. The ball spins and bounces away sharply to extract a faint edge towards the keeper, the ball hits Bairtsow's body first but he does well to grab it in the end. Superb work. India lead by 362! |
| 53.6 : 53.6: A Rashid to Shami, FOUR! Shortish delivery on the stumps, Shami goes back and pulls it through backward square leg for a boundary. These are handy runs for India. |
| 55.5 : 55.5: A Rashid to Shami, SIX! Brute power from Shami! Saw Shami coming down so Rashid drags his length back a bit. Shami absolutely thumps it over long on and the ball sails over the boundary ropes. What a shot that was, made a cracking sound of the bat! |
| 58.5: J Anderson to Yadav, FOUR! Classy stroke! Bowls it full on middle, Yadav clips it through mid-wicket with authority and the ball races to the fence. India lead by 384. |
| 61.5: A Rashid to Shami, SIX! SHOT! Loopy ball on middle, Shami takes a couple of steps down and tonks it over wide mid on. The ball clears the fence easily. They are nearing the 400-run lead. |
| 62.4 : 62.4: Ben Stokes to Yadav, FOUR! These are handy runs for India! Strays this one on the pads, Yadav gets a tickle on it and the ball races to the fine leg fence. |
| 62.6 : 62.6: Ben Stokes to Yadav, FOUR! Fuller length ball outside off, Jayant strides forward and drives it uppishly through point for a superb boundary. Bisected the infield to perfection! |
| 63.1 : 63.1: M Ali to Shami, OUT! The bowling change does the trick and Moeen strikes first ball! Bowls it flatter outside off, Shami comes forward and pushes at it but is beaten by the ball skidding through. Bairstow takes the bails off in a jiffy and makes a confident appeal. The umpire goes upstairs for the stumping appeal. The replays roll in and it looks like Shami's back foot is just planted on the crease. There is nothing in and the TV umpire is satisfied with the replays and rules it out. IND |
| 4.5 : 4.5: M Shami to Hameed, FOUR! Poor ball! Angles it on the pads, Hameed flicks it away to the fine leg region. No one fielding there and Hameed gets a boundary. |
| 19.4 : 19.4: R Ashwin to Cook, FOUR! SHOT! Too short on the stumps, Cook rocks back and pulls it through square leg and the ball races to the fence. |
| 25.4: J Yadav to Cook, FOUR! WELL PLAYED! Shortish outside off, Cook rocks back and cuts it through point for a superb boundary. |
| 31.4: M Shami to Hameed, FOUR! Fuller length ball on off, angling in, Hameed tickles it at the last moment towards fine leg and gets a boundary. Much better line, this. |
| 43.5 : 43.5: R Jadeja to Cook, FOUR! SHOT! Full and wide outside off, Cook comes forward and drives it beautifully through the covers for a superb boundary. |
| 44.3 : 44.3: R Ashwin to Cook, FOUR! Lovely shot! Slow on off, turning away. Cook puts a big stride forward and caresses it through extra covers and the ball races to the fence. |
| 44.6 : 44.6: R Ashwin to Hameed, FOUR! Well played! Bowls a loopy ball outside off, Hameed strides forward and drills it through mid off for a superb boundary. |
| 50.2 : 50.2: Ashwin to Hameed, OUT! Ashwin strikes and it is a huge, huge wicket! Lands it on a length just outside off, spins back in and keeps very low. Hameed camps back and does his best to keep it out but misses and is rapped low on the pads. There is a huge shout from Ashwin and the umpire obliges and rules it out. Indians are really pumped up. Hameed keeps walking on and doesn't take the review. It was a very brave and resolute knock and India have got an opening here. Can they put a dent in th |
| 59.2: R Jadeja to Cook, OUT! This could well be the game defining moment! Bowls it slower through the air around off, spins back in. Cook plants his front foot across and gets into a bit of a tangle. He looks to clip it but misses and is rapped low on the pads. There is a loud, loud shout for LBW and the umpire rules it out after giving it a good thought. Cook reviews it straightaway. The replays do not spot any inside edge. Time for the Hawk Eye now. There are three reds and Cook is a dead duc |
| 60.6 : 60.6: R Ashwin to Root, FOUR! Short ball on off, Root goes onto his back foot and pulls it through mid-wicket. No fielder in the deep and Root gets a boundary. |
| 64.5 : 64.5: R Ashwin to Duckett, OUT! Duckett gone for a duck! Shortish ball on middle and leg, Duckett gets down on his knee a bit and tries to pull it somehow. The ball goes off the gloves, lobs up off his pads and balloons in the air. Saha moves to his right and takes the catch. India appeal confidently and the umpire has no hesitation in raising in finger. Duckett starts walking back and there are some sad faces in the English dressing room. |
| 66.3 : 66.3: R Ashwin to Root, FOUR! Nicely tossed up outside off, Root drives it superbly through the cover region and finds the gap. He gets a boundary, good shot there. |
| 73.6 : 73.6: R Jadeja to Ali, OUT! Jadeja strikes! Tossed up ball from wide of the crease, Moeen Ali tries to defend but gets a bit of an inside edge. The ball lobs up to the leg side and Kohli gets under the ball from leg slip, runs to his right and takes a safe catch. The umpire raises his finger and Moeen Ali starts walking back slowly to the dressing room. That was due to the rough, not much turn on offer though. |
| 74.4 : 74.4: R Ashwin to Joe Root, FOUR! Lovely shot! Fullish outside off, Root leans onto it and drives it through the cover region. Big gap there and Root gets a boundary. |
| 85.4: Yadav to Ben Stokes, OUT! WHAT A BALL! Jayant Yadav strikes and the bowling change has done the trick. Gets a lot of drift on that and lot of turn as well. He comes from around the wicket and pitches it on off, Ben Stokes stays back to keeps it out but is all squared up. Is completely beaten by the sharp turn and the ball takes the off pole. What a moment for Jayant Yadav, he's got a real important wicket here. |
| 86.6 : 86.6: M Shami to Root, OUT! JOEY ROOT IS GONE! Mohammed Shami has bowled a brilliant over here and he's got the big fish. He fires it on a fuller length and angles it in on middle and leg, Root looks to flick it across the line but misses and is rapped low on the pads. Roaring appeals go up from the entire Indian team and the umpire raises his finger. The England No.3 knew he was gone but Jonny Bairstow told him to take the review, since it's worth taking it. Replays show that the ball is hitti |
| 89.4 : 89.4: J Yadav to Bairstow, FOUR! Does well to get low to this one and sweep it across the fine leg fence for a boundary. Nicely played. |
| 89.5 : 89.5: J Yadav to Bairstow, FOUR! Two in two for the English wicketkeeper batsman. Bairstow stays deep in his crease and off his back foot, whips it through the gap in the mid-wicket region to send it all the way. |
| 90.2 : 90.2: M Shami to Rashid, FOUR! Good ball but it's nicely played as well. Shami spears in a yorker and it's swinging in on middle and leg, Rashid somehow manages to flick it through mid-wicket and he picks up a boundary for that. |
| 90.4 : 90.4: M Shami to Rashid, OUT! RASHID DEPARTS! Shami pounds in a short one and it's outside off, Adil Rashid looks to loft it over short third man or backward point but ends up edging it. It's a simple take for Wriddhiman Saha behind the stumps and that's another wicket down for England. |
| 91.1 : 91.1: J Yadav to Bairstow, FOUR! Tossed up outside off, Jonny Bairstow gets down on his rear knee and drags the sweep through the vacant square leg region to get a boundary to his name. |
| 92.2 : 92.2: M Shami to Bairstow, FOUR! A lot of reverse for Mohammed Shami and he ends up spraying this on the pads, it's tickled away fine down the leg side past the keeper for a boundary. |
| 92.5 : 92.5: M Shami to J Bairstow, FOUR! Length ball outside off, Bairstow has a poke at this and ends up getting a healthy edge which goes past the wide slip fielder and gully away to the third man boundary. |
| 94.3 : 94.3: Ashwin to Z Ansari, OUT! Bowled 'em! On middle and leg, Ansari tries to defend but the ball stays really low and goes through his defense to rattle the timber. Ashwin gets his third wicket and India waste no time to strike after lunch. They need just two more wickets to win. Ashwin becomes the leading wicket-taker in Tests in 2016 now. |
| 95.2 : 95.2: J Yadav to Bairstow, FOUR! Yadav errs in length and bowls a tad short outside off, Bairstow goes onto his back foot and cuts it past the diving point fielder for a boundary. |
| 96.3 : 96.3: R Ashwin to Bairstow, FOUR! Shot from the man in form! Full outside off, Bairstow gets down on his knee and sweeps it confidently through the backward square leg for a boundary. |
| 97.1 : 97.1: J Yadav to Broad, FOUR! That's a poor ball! Full and on the pads, Broad sweeps it away to the fine leg region. The ball goes through the gap between leg gully and short leg for a boundary. |
| 97.2 : 97.2: J Yadav to Broad, OUT! LBW! Broad has to go! Full on middle and leg, Broad gets down on his knee and goes for the sweep. The ball goes off something to the silly point fielder. The Indians appeal loud and hard but the umpire takes his time to raise his finger. Broad has a chat with his partner and takes a review. Replays show there's no bat involved. Time for the ball tracking technology, it shows the ball would have hit the off stump so Broad has to go. India are one wicket away! |
| 97.3 : 97.3: Yadav to Anderson, OUT! INDIA WIN BY 246 RUNS! Decision is overturned and India start celebrating! It's fullish on middle, Anderson tries to defend but misses and gets hit on the pads. India appeal for a leg before but the umpire says not out. India decide to take a review. Replays show it's pitching in line and the ball would have hit the leg stump. Anderson is gone first ball and India lead the 5-match series 1-0! |
