post Match Expert Analysis
England’s last day chase of 374 began well, built around Joe Root’s 105 and Harry Brook’s 111. They seemed to be finishing it off before the late Day 4 rain gave India a chance to regroup.
That brief break was crucial. On Day 5, the pitch had just enough life and India’s seamers struck.Siraj 5 for 104 and Prasidh Krishna’s extras were the difference.
England 332/6 collapsed to 367 all out in 53 balls. India had set it up in the morning with Yashasvi Jaiswal’s hundred and a very strong second innings score of 396. They had exactly the right amount of buffer. Even England’s Bazball couldn’t crack India. A match and a series decider.
