India 2nd Innings

Chasing a below-average total of 193, Indian batters came out to bat in the last Session of Day 4. However, before Stumps on the fourth day, India had lost four wickets with 135 runs remaining to chase. The game continued on Day 5 with KL Rahul and new batter Rishabh Pant at the crease. But the English team came with a mindset of clinching the game as early as possible. India lost Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, and Washington Sundar early, bringing the England team back in the game.

After these dismissals, India struggled to chase down the below-par target. However, Ravindra Jadeja with Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj tried their level best to stay in the game but it was an unlucky delivery by Shoaib Bashir, which became the final nail in the coffin. India lost the game by 22 runs in the end.
