... THE PRESENTATION CEREMONY ...

England were in the ascendancy in the first innings. They had a nice lead of 99 runs but that's all it was. The lead was soon turned to dust and the hosts were out of sorts with the ball in the second innings. They did not get any movement and the visitors took advantage of a flat pitch. 368 runs still looked a good score to chase on a flat pitch and England started off well. The openers negated Day 4 and then continued to merry their way to put a 100-run stand. It was still fine when Malan got out but after that they had a collapse and lost four wickets for just six runs. Root tried to hold fort but there's only so much one man can do. Wickets kept tumbling and Root also departed. England crumbled under pressure and weren't able to show much resistance. They went on to suffer a heavy defeat in the end.

What a turnaround it has been from India. Who would have thought that after being bowled for 191 runs in the first innings, the visitors would go on to win by 157 runs? The batters, Rohit Sharma in particular destroyed the English attack in the second innings but was very well supported by Pant, Thakur and some handy contributions from the tail, which put India in the driving seat. The bowlers toiled hard late on Day 4 but couldn't get a single breakthrough. That however, changed on Day 5 and Shardul Thakur provided an early wicket to set the tone for the rest of the day. From then on, Bumrah and Jadeja were brilliant and after Lunch, they made short work of the hosts and all together the visitors picked up six wickets in that session. Umesh Yadav had a brilliant burst in the end with the second new ball to clean up the England tail.

India have won the fourth Test by 157 runs and have taken a crucial 2-1 lead heading into the final Test. Incredible scenes all around the stadium. This cracker of a series just keeps swinging like a pendulum.
