IND vs ENG

India posted a formidable total of 477 runs in their first innings on day three, securing a commanding lead of 259 runs. Facing the pressure, England suffered a dramatic collapse in their second innings, with Ravichandran Ashwin, in his 100th Test match, claiming 5-77. Kuldeep Yadav, who had taken a five-wicket haul in the first innings, added 2-40, while Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja chipped in with 2-38 and 1-25 respectively. England was bundled out for 195 runs in 48.1 overs, sealing an impressive series win for India after a setback in the opening Test in Hyderabad.

The third day of the Test witnessed India being dismissed for 477 runs in their first innings, establishing a substantial lead of 259 runs. Facing the pressure, England crumbled dramatically under the relentless bowling attack led by Ashwin, who claimed figures of 5-77. This remarkable performance marked Ashwin's 36th five-wicket haul in Test cricket, a record for an Indian bowler in this format.

Prior to Bashir, the esteemed list comprised only Bill Voce, James Anderson, and Rehan Ahmed, who had managed to claim a fifer before turning 21.

After debutant Devdutt Padikkal (65) and Sarfaraz Khan (56) steered India to a dominating position at the stroke of tea after skipper Rohit Sharma (103) and Shubman Gill (110) had laid the foundation, England staged a fightback in the last session of the day with 5 wickets for 52 runs.

India's formidable performance was built on the exceptional bowling display by Kuldeep Yadav, who claimed a sensational 5-72, and Ravichandran Ashwin's remarkable figures of 4-51 in his 100th Test match, which bamboozled the England batting lineup, restricting them to 218 all out in just 57.4 overs.

Under the leadership of head coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes, England's unconventional tactics in Test cricket, coined as "bazball," have garnered attention worldwide.

With a series victory already secured in Ranchi, India aims to further bolster their commendable home record and extend their lead in the World Test Championship standings.
