Yet, India started the final day as favourites as KL Rahul was still on the crease alongside in-form Rishabh Pant. However, the odds quickly changed early on Day 5 as Bryden Carse and Jofra Archer got rid of Rahul, Pant and Washington Sundar.

By the end of the first session, Nitish Kumar Reddy too walked off the pitch towards the pavilion as Chris Woakes got his wicket to put England in the driver's seat.
