It was the wow moment of the day so far. It was vastly different from the start of their second innings.

England openers Duckett and Zak Crawley (31) did not panic and went ahead with their duty with determination, continuing the strategy of employing sweep and reverse sweeps to counter Indian spinners.

Crawley even smashed Axar for a six over sightscreen to bring some cheer to the England camp.

But India did not have to wait long for the first breakthrough.

Bowling around the wicket, Ashwin created an angle across Crawley and the right-hander’s defensive prod ended up in a simple catch to Rohit Sharma at first slip.
