Dharamshala: England bowlers led by Shoaib Bashir inflicted regular blows in the third session but India reached 473 for eight in their first innings at the end of the second day of the fifth Test here on Friday.

Off-spinner Bashir (4/170) and left-arm spinner Tom Hartley (2/126) scythed through India's middle-late order, but the hosts found some late resistance from Kuldeep Yadav (27 batting) and Jasprit Bumrah (19 batting) to stretch the lead to 255 runs.

Before that India batsmen made a merry run as Rohit Sharma (103), Shubman Gill (110) made hundreds while Sarfaraz Khan (56) and debutant Devdutt Padikkal (65) ran England ragged. The lone point of consolation for England was the sight of their skipper Ben Stokes bowling, a first since last year's Ashes.

Stokes got rid of his opposite number Rohit too to make the occasion memorable.

END OF INDIA INNINGS

  • Over 124.1 (IND 477/10)
    Fifer for Shoaib Bashir! Bashir claims his second five-wicket haul in Tests with a wicket of Jasprit Bumrah. It was a nice tossed-up delivery from the right-hand off-spinner and traps Jasprit Bumrah who tries to reach the ball with a big stride, but in the process, he drags his right leg outside the crease. Stumper Ben Foakes collected it cleanly and stumped Bumrah, whose foot was on the line. The third umpire confirms that he is out, so India has bowled out for 477. England have a big task ahead of them as they have to overcome the deficit of 259 runs and put up a commendable total against the hosts to win this.
  • Over 124 (IND 477/9)
    700 up for Anderson! He became the first pacer and the third overall bowler on the planet to pick 700 Test wickets. He came round the wicket and bowled angling in delivery, Kuldeep looked to defend it, but the ball got the bat's outside edge. He departed for dogged 30 runs, boasting India's lead to 259 runs, stitching the fifty partnership with Jasprit Bumrah. Siraj leaves the final two deliveries of the over.
  • Over 123 (IND 476/8)
    Stokes is doing the wrong thing here. It is the day's first half an hour where pacers get the most help in the day and not starting with his experienced bowlers from the side is a huge mistake. Bowling a spinner from one end is understandable when a spinner gets a turn and bounces off the pitch which can trouble the batter. India have used a heavy roller that might not help the spinners to extract anything from it. Just a single came from the last over.
  • Over 122 (IND 476/8)
    James Anderson will be bowling from the end. He must be looking to get an early breakthrough for England and reach 700 Test wickets as well. Kuldeep defends the first and then takes a single on the edge. Bumrah then blocks the remaining to end the over. The wait continues for Anderson.
  • Over 121 (IND 475/8)
    Shoaib Bashir will be bowling the first over of the day. Bumrah is on the strike and takes a single on the first delivery itself. England have set the scattered leg side field while four men are on the off-side in the catching position. Kuldeep blocks two before taking a single, helping it towards covers. Bumrah defends the last ball to end the over.

Notably, Baistow is also featuring in his 100th Test like Ashwin and would look to something usual to make it memorable. Seven runs came from the over with a couple of runs on the fifth ball.
  • Over 10 (ENG 41/3)
    Ashwin bowls the undercutter and Pope thinks it is an off-spinner and plays the sweep. The ball just bounced and went in the air. Jaiswal who was fielding at square leg ran quickly towards mid-wicket and completed a well-running catch. Ashwin is ripping apart the England lineup. India are just seven wickets away from another comprehensive win. Root then put the full toss away to the boundary to end another successful over R Ashwin. Six runs came from the over including two singles.
  • Over 9 (ENG 35/2)
    Another good over from Jasprit Bumrah. Just a single came from the over.
  • Over 8 (ENG 34/2)
    Root takes a single on the first ball and secures place at the safest place as a batter, non-striker end. Pope then defends two and rotates the strike. Ashwin then bowls one outside off stump, but Root brings his reverse sweep out, accumulates his first boundary of the innings and takes a single one on the next delivery. Pope goes on the front, and Ashwin finds the gap between bat and pad, but the ball turned so sharply that there was no chance for the keeper to react. England got a boundary of the byes.
  • Over 7 (ENG 24/2)
    Bumrah bowls five dot deliveries and concedes just a single in the over.
  • Over 6 (ENG 23/2)
    Ashwin bowls a classical off-spinner and it turns a mile away from the batter. Keeper Jurel did well to get a hand on it, and Crawley and Pope collected a couple of byes. Ashwin comes a little outside off and turns into the right-hander batter, Crawley tries to glance it past leg slip, but he was rightly placed by the skipper. Sarfaraz, who was fielding at leg slip completed an easy catch to send back Zak Crawley for one. Root and Pope take singles on the last and second last delivery to end the over. Four runs came from the over.
  • Over 5 (ENG 19/1)
    Bumrah gets the edge of the bat, but it goes wide of the second slip and races away to the boundary. Bumrah then bowls an inswing and Pope beautifully guides it between the gap of deep mid-wicket and mid-off for another boundary. Pope then defends one before taking a single. Crawley manages to keep one down for a single. 10-runs came from the over.
  • Over 4 (ENG 9/1)
    Ollie Pope looking to play Ashwin on the backfoot. He cuts one between the gap of covers and points for a boundary and then takes a couple, leaning forward and flicking it towards the mid-wicket. He then pushes the tossed-up delivery towards long off for a single to end the over.
  • Over 3 (ENG 2/1)
    Bumrah once again opens up Zak Crawley, who looks to play a flick shot, but the ball just gets straighter after pitching. Another maiden for right-arm pacer.
  • Over 2 (ENG 2/1)
    Duckett clips the fuller-length delivery towards the leg side for a couple. Ashwin teases him with tossed deliveries, tempting him to go for a big hit. Duckett comes dancing down the track and is gone. Ashwin struck in his first over, and India got their first wicket. England is in deep trouble. We haven't seen a Test match in a series where a team has won by an inning, which tells you how competitive it was. But it seems like we are going to witness one.
  • Over 1 (ENG 0/0)
    Bumrah is opening the attack for India and has bowled a maiden right away.

END OF INDIA INNINGS

  • Over 124.1 (IND 477/10)
    Fifer for Shoaib Bashir! Bashir claims his second five-wicket haul in Tests with a wicket of Jasprit Bumrah. It was a nice tossed-up delivery from the right-hand off-spinner and traps Jasprit Bumrah who tries to reach the ball with a big stride, but in the process, he drags his right leg outside the crease. Stumper Ben Foakes collected it cleanly and stumped Bumrah, whose foot was on the line. The third umpire confirms that he is out, so India has bowled out for 477. England have a big task ahead of them as they have to overcome the deficit of 259 runs and put up a commendable total against the hosts to win this.
  • Over 124 (IND 477/9)
    700 up for Anderson! He became the first pacer and the third overall bowler on the planet to pick 700 Test wickets. He came round the wicket and bowled angling in delivery, Kuldeep looked to defend it, but the ball got the bat's outside edge. He departed for dogged 30 runs, boasting India's lead to 259 runs, stitching the fifty partnership with Jasprit Bumrah. Siraj leaves the final two deliveries of the over.
  • Over 123 (IND 476/8)
    Stokes is doing the wrong thing here. It is the day's first half an hour where pacers get the most help in the day and not starting with his experienced bowlers from the side is a huge mistake. Bowling a spinner from one end is understandable when a spinner gets a turn and bounces off the pitch which can trouble the batter. India have used a heavy roller that might not help the spinners to extract anything from it. Just a single came from the last over.
  • Over 122 (IND 476/8)
    James Anderson will be bowling from the end. He must be looking to get an early breakthrough for England and reach 700 Test wickets as well. Kuldeep defends the first and then takes a single on the edge. Bumrah then blocks the remaining to end the over. The wait continues for Anderson.
  • Over 121 (IND 475/8)
    Shoaib Bashir will be bowling the first over of the day. Bumrah is on the strike and takes a single on the first delivery itself. England have set the scattered leg side field while four men are on the off-side in the catching position. Kuldeep blocks two before taking a single, helping it towards covers. Bumrah defends the last ball to end the over.
