In a pivotal moment, Ravichandran Ashwin ended Ben Stokes’s disappointing series with a masterful delivery. Ashwin claimed Stokes’s wicket with just two balls before lunch. Ashwin’s delivery deceived the England Test skipper, resulting in a clean-bowled dismissal.
The England all-rounder departed after scoring just 2 runs off 10 balls. The visiting team lost half of their side for 103 runs in the opening session on the fourth day. The Three Lions still trail the Rohit Sharma-led side by 156 runs before the break in the ongoing match.
