England scored 205 runs on the first day of the final round of the series. India finished the day on Thursday with 24 runs after losing to Shubman Gill. They are still 161 runs behind.
Back in the XI, fast bowlers Mohammad Siraj took the grounds of Johnny Bairstow and Joe Root. However, the main damage was caused by spinners. Aksar took 4 wickets for 6 runs. Ashwin took three.
Solo from Fifty Stokes bat. Lawrence played a combative 48-run inning.
This wicket is a little different from the previous test. There is little grass. The pacemakers got the swing. Spinners go around as time goes by.
England starters Jack Crowley and Dom Sibley won the toss and chose to hit. Aksar fired the two hitters who somehow got off to a rocky start.
Sibley runs the bat thinking that the spinner on the left arm will spin the ball, but the ball hits the edge of the bat and hits the stumps. Crowley went out a lot at his own risk. He stepped out of the gate and caught Siraj in the middle.
The route did not last long. The English captain returned for 9 runs after being lbw in the Siraj inswing.
Bairstow and Ben Stokes took the helm of the team under pressure after losing 3 wickets in 30 races. England continues to advance with the two bat. The visitors did not lose any more land in the first session.
Bairstow returned to the room after lunch. Siraj broke the 47-race partnership by converting it to lbw.
Stokes was confidently playing with Oli Pope. Axar hit a limit on a reverse sweep and completed fifty of 114 balls. Then the entrances couldn’t be bigger. Washington returned to LBW with two sixes and 55 runs in six fours. Another potential pair of 43 broken runs.
Pope couldn’t make big innings even after settling down. After returning it, Ashwin quickly fired Ben Fox. Aksar caught a pair of wickets in one. Quickly stop Dom Base after saying goodbye to Lawrence. England lost the last 4 wickets for 39 races.
India stumbled on the third ball. Gill became lbw on James Anderson’s ball. The Indian opener did not survive the review.
Anderson did not run in 5 overs.
