On Day 4 of the ongoing third Test between India and England, the hosts were preparing for Jasprit Bumrah challenge, but Washington Sundar came out of the syllabus for the Ben Stokes-led side. Notably, the scores were levelled after the first innings, but the visitors stunned the Three Lions and reduced England to just 192 runs.

Tempers were flaring from the first ball since morning because of the last over drama on Day 3. Indian players were aggressive, elated and animated since the first session. Mohammed Siraj provided early breakthroughs, and England were reduced to 87/4.
