Chasing a target of 193, India began the day at 58/4, clinging to hope with KL Rahul (33) holding up one end amid early breakthroughs by England’s pace battery, spearheaded by Jofra Archer and Ben Stokes. Archer’s venom was on full display, trapping Pant for 9 with a sublime delivery, while Stokes returned to remove Rahul lbw, reinforcing the hosts’ dominance.

The middle session belonged to Ravindra Jadeja. With the score precariously poised at 112/8, Jadeja produced a calm gem under pressure, crafting a gritty half‑century and later hitting a massive six. His gritty stand (nearly a 35‑run partnership) with Jasprit Bumrah briefly reignited India’s hopes, edging them within striking distance.

However, the plot thickened even further. In a nerve‑jangling climax, England turned back the clock. Shoaib Bashir’s crafty spin pegged India back late in the day. With the score around 168/9 and just 25 runs needed, Sheikh strolled in Mohammed Siraj. But Siraj’s cameo was cut short. Bashir turned the ball sharply, and Siraj, attempting a defence, saw his off‑stump breached — a dismissal that sealed the match.

England’s triumph was the result of strategic field placements, intelligent bowling changes, and their relentless pace attack. Archer finished with three second‑innings scalps; Stokes bagged key wickets; Carse and Bashir applied the finishing touch.
