India vs England 5th Test, IND vs ENG Highlights: IND beat ENG by an innings and 64 runs, win series 4-1

India vs England 5th Test, IND vs ENG Highlights:

England’s top three crumbled to Ashwin in the first 10 overs of the visitors’ second innings on Day 3 after India were all out for 477. They eventually lost five wickets inside just over half a session before Lunch, with Ashwin taking four and Kuldeep taking three. Ashwin then completed his five-wicket haul with the wicket of Ben Foakes shortly after resumption of play after which Bumrah, took two wickets in an over to reduce England to their last two. Shoaib Bashir then managed to stick around for a while with Root and the pair put up 48 runs for the second last wicket. Bashir eventually fell to Jadeja on 13 after which Root decided to try and hit his way to a century. He holed out to Bumrah himself and that was the end of the match and series.

Earlier, James Anderson ensured that England didn’t allow Kuldeep Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah to pick up from where they left off by making the former his 700th victim in Test cricket. England’s evergreen pace wonder thus became just the third bowler after the Muttiah Muralitharan and Shane Warne to take 700 Test wickets and the first fast bowler to do so. Shoaib Bashir then finished his five-wicket haul, thanks in part to some lightning-fast glovework from Ben Foakes, to end the Indian innings on 477 and India took a first innings lead of 259 runs.
