England’s bowlers completely dominated India’s second innings. India had already lost four crucial wickets while chasing the target on the fourth day. On the fifth day, except for Ravindra Jadeja, no other batsman could score runs against the English bowlers. After the main batsmen were dismissed early, Jadeja valiantly tried to take the match close, forming crucial partnerships with the lower-order batsmen.
Jadeja remained unbeaten on 61 runs off 181 balls, displaying remarkable patience, but lacked sufficient support from the other end. Despite this, players like Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj showed great determination to stay at the crease, facing 54 and 30 balls respectively. However, Mohammed Siraj was unfortunately bowled by Shoaib Bashir at the end, bringing India’s innings to a close at 170 runs.
