With the 5 overs remaining, England succeeds in not losing any wicket on day 4 and went back for no loss on the end of the game on day 4.
Chasing a score or if I say in an effort to draw the test, England started really well on day 5 and was carefully taking the steps forward until the second session of the game. In the first session, Captain Cook and Jenning were doing fine and didn’t lose their wickets. And then critics started questioning Kohli’s decision for taking too long in declaring the innings and that could lead the match towards the draw.
Indians came strong in the second session of Day 5.
But Indians comes on the ground in the second session of day 5 with some other intention and were eager to convert the match from a draw to the victory. And the Jadeja’s thunderstorm was still to arrive and when it came, it took away all the England batsmen with its blow.
Jadeja claimed Cook for the seventh time in this series at the score of 49 and that is all that Indians were looking for, A major breakthrough. After this, the sequence of falling wickets started. Kohli’s aggressive captaincy also comes into the play and he started providing bowlers with attacking field set.
Then Jennings also becomes the victim of Jadeja’s turning ball and lost his wicket. Then none else stayed on the crease for any long except Moeen Ali who scored 44. It was not the wicket that was helping the bowlers, but it was the English batsmen who played irresponsibly and given away their wickets. And in the last two sessions, England lost all its wickets for the score of 207 and lost by an innings and 75 runs to India in the final test.
