The team lost the last five wickets in just 11 runs in 28 minutes. For England, James Anderson and Craig Overton took three wickets each while Sam Curran and Ollie Robinson took two wickets each.
This is India’s third lowest total against England and ninth overall. The Indian team was all out against England after scoring 42 runs at Lord’s in 1974 and 58 at Manchester in 1952. This is the 26th time in Tests that Team India was reduced to a score of less than 100.
Team could not score hundred runs for the second time in nine months
This is the second time in the last nine months that the Indian team has failed to score even 100 runs in an innings. In December last year, against Australia in Adelaide, the team was reduced to just 36 runs in the second innings, which was their lowest score in the history of Test cricket.
This is India’s lowest score on the first day’s pitch in the last 34 years. The Indian team was last dismissed for less than 100 runs on the first day’s pitch in 1987 when West Indies bowled out the Dilip Vengsarkar-led side for 75 at the Ferozeshah Kotla ground in New Delhi.
Virat’s bet turned upside down
Indian captain Virat Kohli won the toss and elected to bat despite the cloudy sky. Anderson left no stone unturned to prove his decision wrong. He sent Rahul (00) to the pavilion in the first over itself. Rahul, trying to drive the ball outside off-side, gives a catch to Buttler. Pujara (01) also caught Buttler off Anderson’s delivery in the fifth over.
Anderson dismissed Kohli for the seventh time
Kohli once again failed to play a big innings. He returned to the pavilion after scoring seven runs in 17 balls. He was caught out by Anderson at the hands of Butler. This is the seventh time Anderson has dismissed Kohli.
He equaled Australia’s Nathan Lyon’s record for most dismissals in Tests. Lyon did so in 33 innings and Anderson in 41 innings. For the second time in the series, Anderson sent Kohli to the pavilion.
After this Rahane and Rohit carried the score forward. Both of them added 35 runs for the fourth wicket. Robinson broke this dangerous partnership by getting Rahane caught by Butler. After this, the situation that you came to walk has become.
Root got hurt
England captain Joe Root sustained an elbow injury while fielding. After that he left the field. In his absence, Jos Buttler took command till lunch. After lunch, he returned to the field again.
England scored 21 runs till tea time
England had scored 21 runs without losing a wicket till tea. The hosts are just 57 runs behind India with all their wickets remaining. Haseeb Hameed was playing on 15 and Rory Burns scored three runs.
