Resuming the IND vs ENG 2nd Test on day four, England were 194 for six wickets, they lost the remaining wickets in the post-lunch session.

In the morning session, Ravichandran Ashwin bagged two wickets, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel also registered one wicket each to their names.

India's standout bowler in the game, Jasprit Bumrah, bowled his heart out in the two-hour session. For someone who was operating in four-over spells, Bumrah bowled one extra in his opening burst before returning towards the end of the session to send back Bairstow. He also cleaned up Hartley to end the game. Root and Pope perished while going for their strokes. Mukesh Kumar dismissed debutant Shoaib Bahir.

Veteran spinner Ashwin is now just one wicket shy from completing 500 Test wickets. From the visitors' point of view, Zak Crawley batted exceptionally well. He scored 73 runs in 132 balls. They would have been better served taking a cue from Crawley, who saw out an intense morning spell from Bumrah before going for his strokes. Night-hawk Rehan Ahmed (23) wanted to smash his first ball of the day out of the park while Hyderabad Test hero Ollie Pope (23) and Joe Root (16) were pushing their luck, frequently attempting sweeps and reverse sweeps on a pitch with variable bounce.

The visitors were 67 runs for the loss of one wicket on the stumps of day three of the IND vs ENG 2nd Test. India had scored 396 and 255 in their two innings, while England were dismissed for 253 in their first essay. India had lost the opening Test by 28 runs in Hyderabad.

Both teams will now clash for the third test match in Rajkot, starting from February 15.
