ENG vs IND: Team India pacers trigger monumental England collapse, hosts fold for 183

England lost six wickets for just 22 runs going from 138/3 to 160/9 and eventually were bowled out for 183 in a monumental collapse on Day 1 in the first innings of the first Test against India. The match was nicely poised at the tea break with Joe Root leading England's fightback with his 50th half-century in Test matches and the visitors taking wickets at crucial moments, but it was all India in the final session.

England were going great at one point especially after the 72-run stand between Root and Jonny Bairstow for the fourth wicket after they had lost Dom Sibley to Mohammed Shami early in the second session. However, another luck with the reviews for the skipper Virat Kohli and the Indian team and the visitors had a wicket at the stroke of tea.

This was the momentum and breakthrough India needed as post tea, Indian pacers didn't let any of the England batsmen, even Joe Root for that matter, have a say.

The third session was all India as Mohammed Shami completed his over and got rid of Dan Lawrence on the last delivery of that over. Soon Bumrah was back in action with the wicket of Buttler and they all fell soon like nine pins.

Shardul Thakur had another field day with the big wicket of Root and Ollie Robinson in the same over and Bumrah dismissed Stuart Broad trapping him LBW and the hosts had lost six wickets for just 22 runs.

India on a roll this afternoon.

If not for a 27-run cameo from Sam Curran, England wouldn't have reached 183 with Bumrah taking his fourth bowling a peach of a yorker to dismiss James Anderson.
