India beat England by 10 wickets in the day / night event

India recorded only its second test win in two days, surpassing a meager 49 goal against England in the third day-night game to take an impregnable 2-1 lead in the four-game series on Thursday.

The last time India won in two days in a test was in 2018, beating Afghanistan in Bangalore. England’s previous defeat in the test in two days dates back to 1921 against Australia.

There was no end to England’s batting woes against the spin duo of Axar Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin when the team doubled up to 81 in their second inning. This was the team’s lowest test total against India.

Starters Rohit Sharma (25) and Shubman Gill (15) then completed the paperwork in 7.4 overs, just half an hour after the last session of the day.

Previously, Patel chose five wickets in the second English trial, adding to his standout loot of six in the first innings. His became the best bowling performance in a pink ball game.

Ashwin, on the other hand, added four more to his first day three-scalp swag to cross the 400 wicket mark in the longest format.

He became the fourth Indian after Anil Kumble (619), Kapil Dev (434) and Harbhajan Singh (417) to achieve the feat.

England’s scorecard looked grim, with Ben Stokes 25 and Ollie Pope 12 being the best contributions.

In the afternoon session, India’s first inning was doubled to 145 with starter Rohit Sharma, the best scorer with a 66-run hit. England captain Joe Root returned his career best 5/8 figures for his team.

Short scores:

England: 112 and 81 in 30.4 overs (Ben Stokes 25, Axar Patel 5/32, Ravichandra Ashwin 4/48).

India: 145 still and 49 no loss in 7.4 overs (Rohit Sharma 25 no out, Shubman Gill 15 no out).
