On Day 1, England won the toss and chose to field first. India went ahead and put a score of 191 in their first innings. Following this, England surpassed the Indian score to put 290 runs on the board.

England started their 3rd inning on day 4 and went on to the 5th day with 71 runs on board without any loss. However, after some fantastic bowling from Indian bowlers, especially Jaspreet Bumara who bowled a magical spell of reverse bowling, the blues managed to clinch the match, getting a 2-1 series lead. Rohit Sharma was named as the man of the match. Shardul Thakur's impressive half-centuries in both innings and 3 wickets made him a fan favorite, and Umesh Yadav's exemplary bowling towards the end sealed India’s win.
