Ashwin claims 5th wicket, India close in on victory

December 12, 2016 09:59

England 194-9 (54 ovs) & 400 vs India 631 | Scorecard

England have lost four wickets for nine runs in the space of nearly eight overs as India swoop in on an emphatic series victory.

Jadeja makes a valiant effort to his left on his follow through but can't hold on as Adil Rashid plays an uppish drive back down the pitch.

England are going down tamely here as Rashid hits one straight down the throat of the fielder at square leg to perish for two as Ashwin completes another five wicket haul.

India are just one wicket away from victory, while England need 38 runs to avoid the innings defeat.

Interestingly, war of words straightaway between Ashwin and James Anderson as the latter walks out to bat. He had made some remarks on Virat Kohli's batting after close of play on Day 4 and surely Ashwin looks displeased.

Even at the end of the over, Jadeja and Ashwin have a go at Anderson and then captain Virat Kohli joins the act as the umpires jump in to get the game underway.
