The India all-rounder seemed displeased, conveying a sense of dissatisfaction or concern.”

“The reason behind Ravichandran Ashwin’s animated reaction was unclear.

Although he faced the last six balls of the day, even executing an attacking slog sweep for a boundary off leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed, his demeanor changed as he defended the final delivery.

Subsequently, Ashwin turned towards the umpire, engaging in a complaint or discussion about an unspecified matter.”

“Bowlers Rehan Ahmed and Shoaib Bashir each claimed two wickets.

Bashir, 20, secured his maiden Test wicket by dismissing skipper Rohit Sharma, while pace bowler James Anderson was his second victim.

However, Yashasvi Jaiswal counterattacked, taking on the England spinners and smashing Tom Hartley for three consecutive boundaries to set the pace. Jaiswal, expressing his strategy, said, ‘I wanted to play it session by session.

When they were bowling well, I just wanted to get through that spell.

Initially, the wicket was damp and there was spin and bounce, with a bit of seam.

However, I wanted to convert the loose balls and play till the end.

I would love to double this up and play till the end for the team.’”

“He achieved his second Test century with a six off Tom Hartley, celebrating the milestone by removing his helmet, raising his arms, and blowing a kiss to the cheering crowd.

This marked India’s first century in the series, with England’s Ollie Pope scoring 196 in the opening Test.

Jaiswal continued his attacking play, and India dominated the final hour of play despite losing Axar Patel and home town hero K.S. Bharat.

The 22-year-old Jaiswal, in his sixth Test, hammered 17 fours and five sixes, surpassing his previous Test best of 171 on debut in the West Indies last year.

Bashir claimed his second wicket by dismissing Axar, caught at backward point, showcasing his variety and guile in just his seventh first-class match.”
