- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR37.2 Crawley still left looking for that hundred. No reviews needed on this. Beautiful bowling again, Nicely flighted, drift away, Crawley thinks this is full enough to drive, but this one turns in sharply with a small puff of dust. He is bowled for 79 137/317.6 skied to cover, well held! Kuldeep gets the breakthrough in his first over. Tossed up and Duckett's eyes are wide as he looks to launch over the leg side, only to get a b-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-g leading edge. Shubman Gill has to turn and scurry back a good 20 yards but makes the ground and holds on to a diving catch. Spin does the job for India on a morning for the seamers 64/125.3 comes down and strung up, Jurel completes the stumping! Kuldeep foxes Pope with the googly and plucks out a second wicket on the stroke of lunch! India can walk off feeling a tad bit more satisfied with their work this morning. Pope was nowhere near the ball as it skidded on with the angle from over the wicket. He threw his head back in frustration, another low score to add to his collection in India 100/244.2 done on the inside and given! Root doesn't look too happy but he hasn't hit it. Decides to review as the clock counts down to zero. Might it have been sliding down? Looked pretty straight on first glance. He's missed it by a long way, perhaps thinking of the previous delivery and how it turned. Smashing into leg stump, says ball-tracking! Rod Tucker raises his finger again and India have two in four balls 175/543.4 beats the bat, up goes the finger... India celebrate but Bairstow reviews. Did he nick it? There's a scratch on UltraEdge and Kuldeep has his man! The googly does the trick, feathered behind as he went for the drive. Joel Wilson gets it right. YJB is OFF 175/445.4 trapped by one going on, up goes the finger! Stokes is dischuffed and asks for the review. Hoodwinked by the googly and he's right back on the stumps. Looks like a fifth for Kuldeep! Yes, no doubt about it, Hawk-Eye has it toppling middle. Joel Wilson gets another one right, as England lose their third in as many overs 175/657.1 the overspin has bowled him. Foakes has got himself outside the line of off on the sweep, but the ball hits the pad and then arm and then spins on to the wicket. There's nothing he can do from that position on a knee 218/949.2 goes for the slog-sweep... but holes out! Hartley won't be hitting Ashwin for six No. 5 in the series, although he's not all that far off. Well taken just in from the rope by the debutant Padikkal. Ashwin has the first wicket of his 100th Test 183/749.4 edged to slip, another one gone! Bounce more than turn does the job for Ashwin this time. Hits high up the bat with Wood attempting to defend, can only manage to lob an outside edge into Rohit Sharma's bread basket. Two in three balls for Ashwin 183/857.4 now tries the big sweep, and can't clear midwicket. Ashwin walks away with four in his 100th Test. Sometimes you get them wickets without working very hard for them 218/10Extras5 (b 2, lb 1, nb 2)TOTAL218 all out (57.4 Overs, RR: 3.78, 255 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-64 (Ben Duckett, 17.6 ov), 2-100 (Ollie Pope, 25.3 ov), 3-137 (Zak Crawley, 37.2 ov), 4-175 (Jonny Bairstow, 43.4 ov), 5-175 (Joe Root, 44.2 ov), 6-175 (Ben Stokes, 45.4 ov), 7-183 (Tom Hartley, 49.2 ov), 8-183 (Mark Wood, 49.4 ov), 9-218 (Ben Foakes, 57.1 ov), 10-218 (James Anderson, 57.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR20.4 charges out and misses one! Foakes completes the stumping and Jaiswal's fun is over for today. A rush of blood and he trudges off looking a little disconsolate. Bashir celebrates with a fist pump. England needed that 104/161.1 and he has knocked Rohit over first ball. Who writes his scripts? Trundles in, seam pointing towards gully, lands on a length, in front of off, and the ball seams away a touch to hold its line. Top of off. What a dream ball to bowl if you have been bowling non-stop for years. What an absolute fantasy delivery to bowl when you have bowled for the first time in ages 275/262.2 Anderson moves to 699. Top of off has been hit again. This time with seam movement back in. Two absolute jaffas. Seam movement from just outside off. Between the bat and pad. Has a longish look at Gill before he walks off 279/392.1 beauty. And Padikkal's getting stuck on back foot has finally cost him. Bashir slows it down, pitches it full, off and middle, and Padikkal is back, which allows the ball to turn past the outside edge and knock back the off stump 403/584.1 oh what is this? This is what Rahul Dravid does in the morning giving catching practice to slip. He has got the ball to cut all right, but he just decides to open the face and guide it to slip. A dozy dozy shot from the Sarf. He had a century for the taking 376/4101.1 caught back to a length ball, and this one has turned sharply to trap him in front. Given out on the field, but Jadeja has reviewed it. Might be doing too much here. Or probably clipping leg. No, it is hitting leg stump. India lose Jadeja and the review. Hartley has hardly turned a ball this much this innings, but he has got it just right when it does turn. On a length, turning in to hiit leg. Jadeja caught back. No way of keeping this out 427/7100.4 Jurel tries to hit him for a six, but ends up holing out to long-on. He comes down the tracks, looks for hit with the turn, but the ball doesn't turn, and he ends up hitting it off the outer half of the bat. Duckett takes a smart catch at the boundary 427/6101.6 Clean through him! Pitches on and around off stump, skids on with the arm, Ashwin pokes with flat feet as the ball rattles middle stump, through the gate! England have themselves 3 for 1 in nine balls! 428/8123.4 Anderson scales Mount 700. Take a moment for one of the greatest bowlers ever. Only the third man to get to 700. Follows that short ball with a sucker delivery on a length outside off, and Kuldeep nicks it to the keeper. Anderson is congratulated by his team-mates, he takes a moment to raise the ball and to the crowd and specifically to his parents in the stands before handing it over to the umpires 477/9124.1 appeal for stumping, and we are checking it with the third umpire. Bashir angles it across him but Bumrah is playing for the turn. Beaten on the outside edge, his foot is dragged out. I think he is still on the line when the bail is taken off, but the third umpire Kumar Dharamsena is taking his time because it is quite close. And he finally agrees with me. Bashir has a five-for 477/10Extras6 (lb 4, nb 2)TOTAL477 all out (124.1 Overs, RR: 3.84, 519 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-104 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 20.4 ov), 2-275 (Rohit Sharma, 61.1 ov), 3-279 (Shubman Gill, 62.2 ov), 4-376 (Sarfaraz Khan, 84.1 ov), 5-403 (Devdutt Padikkal, 92.1 ov), 6-427 (Dhruv Jurel, 100.4 ov), 7-427 (Ravindra Jadeja, 101.1 ov), 8-428 (Ravichandran Ashwin, 101.6 ov), 9-477 (Kuldeep Yadav, 123.4 ov), 10-477 (Jasprit Bumrah, 124.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.3 and that backward short leg gets one in the basket. Ashwin turns it in from a good length and just outside off. Crawley has lost his balance because of the dip. He is playing well in front of his body. And closes the face on top of it. A rare failure for Crawley this series 21/21.5 this wicket has been brought about by his inability to trust his defence. The last ball popped up. So Duckett feels he is better off attacking. He charges at him, is beaten in the air, and toes the ball on to the off stump. Actually he has completely missed it 2/19.2 Pope sweeps, spoons a top edge... done for! Another frenetic innings comes to a messy close, and so ends Ollie Pope's tour. The bounce does for him, a wild shot ballooning towards square leg where Jaiswal jogs up to take the catch. Third for Ashwin, who's enjoying his 100th Test 36/348.1 Root on the charge... holes out to long-on! Bumrah is the man back, he steadies himself and holds the catch before unleashing a bout of fist pumps. India tie the bow on a 4-1 series win that has been coming since the close on day one. No last-gasp hundred for Root, no red ink either 195/1017.4 sharp spin, traps Bairstow on the crease... up goes the finger! Brings a suspicious look from the batter, who reviews Rod Tucker's decision. Might have been high? He certainly hasn't hit it. Think this will be umpire's call at worst. Big turn into YJB, struck on the back pad flap... and ump's call it is! Clipping the top of leg stump. There'll be no more 100th Test fireworks from Jonny, as Tucker raises his finger again 92/422.5 bowled' im! Ashwin gets Stokes again, 13th time in Tests. Fourth of the innings, eighth of the match for Ashwin, playing his 100th Test. Does him with the arm ball, Stokes not sure which edge to cover and beaten on the inside, hits the top of off. India crowding through the door here 103/526.4 five-for in his 100th Test for Ashwin. An uncharacteristic hoick from Foakes. That just about tells you the fight has left England. Lovely drift and dip, Foakes tries the big slog sweep and is beaten comprehensively. Bowled'im. Ashwin's family on their feet as he holds the ball aloft 113/634.2 the perfect slower ball. He has flummoxed much much better batters with this. Just the perfect delivery. Lands on a length and on off, turns against the angle, just holding its line, beats the outside edge. Plumb in front. England don't even review. Actually my eyes might be deceiving me. This might not be the slower ball, but it did hold its line 141/734.4 yorker, on the toe, given out lbw, but Wood has reviewed it immediately. Okay I don't think he has hit it. The ball has almost landed on the toe. A couple of inches short of the boot. Now we need to see the line. The ball tracking shows it is hitting middle. India get closer to an innings win 141/845.5 timbeeeerrrrrrrrrr... no doubt this time! Jaddu hits his length, finds some turn and rattles off stump. Too good for Bashir, who trudges off after an hour of dogged blocking - although not before apparently asking to review! He didn't realise he had been bowled.
