In space of two overs, Axar Patel removed Joe Root and Olly Stone after the lunch break to complete his five wicket haul. Moeen Ali then played aggressively and managed to score 43 off 18 balls before Kuldeep Yadav had him stumped. Ravi Ashwin, who scored century in India’s second innings, picked three wickets to compliment his five-wicket haul earlier in the match. He was fittingly named as man of the match. The third Test will take place from February 24 onwards and it will be a day-night encounter.
