England would have been confident of pushing for a win at the start of the day's play when India resumed their second innings at 181 for 6 with a lead of 158 runs, and they even made the perfect start as Ollie Robinson got rid of the overnight batsman Rishabh Pant (22) and Ishant Sharma (16) in quick succession to leave India tottering at 209 for 8 in the first half-hour of play.But that's when the match completely changed and India stormed back in to the contest with a record 9th-wicket partnership between Shami and Bumrah, which effectively took the possibility of an English victory out of the window.
