Supporting ashwin

Ollie Robinson LBW: India need 192 runs to seal the series after Ravichandran Ashwin’s 35th five-wicket haul in Tests skittled out England for 145 in 53.5 overs in their second innings on the third day of the fourth Test here on Sunday.

Though India managed to keep the target below 200, it won’t be an easy task considering the pitch is tricky to bat on and England have tall spinners to extract more turn and bounce. Supporting Ashwin in his 5-51 was Kuldeep Yadav, who took 4-22, while Ravindra Jadeja had a lone scalp to his name.

Post tea, England lost five wickets for 25 runs in 21 overs. Jonny Bairstow was dismissed on the first ball of the final session of the day, pushing at a Jadeja delivery which turned and spooned to short cover. Kuldeep came in to have Tom Hartley caught at mid-on and trapped Ollie Robinson LBW with one that turned in to hit the pad past the willow.
