Chasing 193 runs to win the third Test, the Indian team got off to a truly unforgettable start on the evening of the fourth day. By the end of the fourth day they were struggling with 58 at 4. KLRahul stood firm on an unbeaten 33, but the team lost Yashasvi Jaiswal (0), Karun Nair (14), Shubman Gill (6) and Akash Deep (1) early.

For Jofra Archer, it was a memorable comeback as he plagued the Indian players with his fierce bouncers and was plagued by the fierce keywickets to help England beat India in the third Test. Apart from Jofra, Ben Stokes and Carse also had a major impact on the ball, each taking wickets in the final innings.
