Both the bowlers didn't allow the English batsmen to open their hands and notched three wickets each. England was bowled out for only 292 runs in their second inning.

Team India had set a target of 399 for England which visitors missed by a huge margin of 106 runs.

With this win, Rohit Sharma and men have leveled the scores 1-1 and now all eyes would be on Rajkot's race that will begin on February 15.

The English team batted with two approaches today. At the start, they tried to play some big shots and put pressure on Indian bowlers, but the plan failed as the hosts toppled their top and middle order. After which, Ben Stokes and the boys changed the strategy and were playing steadily to grind their way through to Tea.

Thanks to a brilliant direct hit from Shreyas Iyer, skipper Stokes returned early else the match would have been a close contest. At the end, Tom Hartley joined Ben Foakes to put up a partnership of much-needed 55 runs off just 74 balls. However, the effort was not enough to avoid the defeat as Jasprit Bumrah's swinging delivery knocked his bails.
