India got off to a horrendous start in the fourth innings, with opener Yashasvi Jaiswal falling prey to a bouncer from Jofra Archer on duck. India countered well with opener KL Rahul and No. 3 Karun Nair before the latter’s lack of concentration saw him get trapped in front after playing a no-shot to a menacing in-swinger of Brydon Carse. Gill looked tentative from the very start and was found plumb in front off Carse. The nightwatchman Akash Deep did well to prevent Rahul from getting strikes, but was cleaned up by Ben Stokes as the last dismissal of the day.

In the morning, when Jasprit Bumrah, bowling from the Nursery End, got the ball to take off from a patch outside off-side and Mohammed Siraj had finally got the hang of using the slope from the Pavilion End, England’s Bazballers were like one-dimensional batsmen on a hot-tin pitch. Not equipped to play the waiting game, they were jumpy, edgy and ugly.
