Ollie Robinson- Man of the Match
Ollie Robinson is the man of the match for his figures of 2/16 and 5/65
"It's a dream to be honest, to get a man of the match award in my first win for England. I enjoyed bowling here before, and it's nice to use the conditions here, so I'm happy to get a five-for here. To bowl with Jimmy and learn from him is an honour. It has only improved my game. I keep learning and trying to be as good as possible. It's nice to get Kohli, after he got me for two fours in the over - it's a simple plan to Virat, fourth and fifth stump, get it to angle away, and hope he nicks it and he did."

Joe Root, the winning captain, at the presentation ceremony
"It was a fantastic and clinical performance from the bowlers. The two big lads put loads of pressure with three maidens, and we had a really good opportunity to take wickets and we took them ruthlessly. We know we are capable of performances like this, and we have the talent, that opening stand was fantastic too. We controlled and hung in with the new ball, and we reaped the rewards. Anderson churns out performances like that and that's why he's the GOAT of Test cricket. He's very fit and sets an example for the other bowlers."
"Dawid played beautifully and started a bit cautiously, but once he got going, he was fluent like he'd been playing the last few years, so the international experience came to the fore. As a batter, you are expected to go out and score every time and I am happy I've managed to score a few. It's been a while since I got a hundred in my home ground and I hope we can carry this form forward as a team into the Oval. Robinson has been brilliant, and he's asked good questions of their defense. He's managed to move the ball throughout the innings, not just with the new ball. Sam is a talented player, and he may not be at his absolute best, but he will do special things for England. He showed last time we played India that he could play wonderful knocks, take key wickets, so I'm not worried about him at all. He has a lot of character and he will get better sooner rather than later. Buttler's availability will be known in the next few days (paternity leave). As this is my home ground, I've watched a lot of cricket here, so I thank them for all the great support."

Virat Kohli, the losing captain, at the presentation ceremony
"It's down to scoreboard pressure. We knew we were up against it when we were out for 80 and the opposition put up a big score. We put up crucial partnerships and saw the day through, but the pressure from the English bowlers was brilliant this morning and we didn't respond well. Batting collapses can happen in this country, the pitch was good to bat on, but their discipline with the ball forced us to make a few mistakes, and it was difficult to deal with spells where we weren't getting runs. We didn't make good decisions as a batting side. The pitch looked good to bat on, and when England batted it hadn't changed much, so they had a lot more intent with the bat, made better decisions. They were the deserving side to win."
"You could say that we don't have enough batting depth, but the top order has to give enough runs to the lower middle order to step up. The lower order can't bail the team out all the time. We don't have much other than the batting in the second innings to take from this game in terms of positives. Playing another spinner would depend on the pitch and we'll take a call later. It depends on the moisture and how it will hold up for the five days. The pressure from the fourth seamer is important sometimes and sometimes we have to make sure taking only three seamers means that the spinners have to come in quickly. We need to correct our flaws quickly and we've done this before, and we look forward to the Oval Test."

ANDERSON GETS RAHANE
OUT! Ajinkya Rahane perishes too! James Anderson, for all his hard work, has finally received his reward. AND HE IS HAPPY! LEAPS AND PUNCHES THE AIR!
Once again, it's the wobble seam that gets him the wicket. Rahane pokes at one around the 5th stump line and he pays the price for it. Buttler with another catch to his name
He goes for 10, IND 239/5 after 92 overs, trail by 115 runs
- Aug 28, 2021 04:24 pm IST

- Aug 28, 2021 04:23 pm IST

IND 237/4 after 90 overs, trail by 117 runs
- Aug 28, 2021 04:18 pm IST
FIFTY FOR THE SKIPPER
FOUR! Fifty for skipper Kohli, first of the series and he brings it up with typical Virat style. Overpitched on middle-stump line from Robinson. Kohli obliges as he flicks the ball beautifully through the deep mid-wicket for four.
FOUR! SAVE YOUR LEGS! A fraction full from Robinson this time, Kohli present the full face of the bat with the on-drive and beats the mid-on fielder, who happens to be Anderson
- Aug 28, 2021 04:08 pm IST
NOT-OUT, KOHLI SURVIV
Scratch that! WHAT A REVIEW FROM KOHLI! He's getting really good with his reviews.
Kohli reviewed it thinking he flicked his pad while trying to drive.
The replay showed that just as the ball passed Kohli's bat, there was clear daylight between bat and ball.
The noise came off Kohli's inside edge hitting his pad
To be fair, he was saved there by Rahane, who compelled Kohli to go for the review. After seeing the umpire's index finger, Kohli had started to walk back.
IND 228/3 after 88 overs, trail by 126 runs
- Aug 28, 2021 04:06 pm IST
OUT -BUT SCRATCH THAT
A MAGICAL OVER FINALLY YIELDS RESULT AS KOHLI NICKS ANDERSON TO BUTTLER.
Boy, is James Anderson happy! Once again, just like the first innings, Kohli plays away from his body, not as much this time.
Kohli reviews it
- Aug 28, 2021 04:03 pm IST
SO CLOSE
BEATEN! The events of this ball turned out exactly like Kohli's first innings dismissal except that he didn't nick it. So it's not hard to guess that the ball swung away from the offline stump and Kohli went for the drive.
This is an awesome battle between Anderson and Kohli and the Indian captain has a little smile.
HOWZAT? NOT-OUT! The crowd is getting right behind Anderson every delivery now. Anderson, after half an hour of outswingers, surprises Kohli with a sharp inswinger. The Indian captain is struck firmly on the front pad but the English appeal is turned out. Replay shows the ball was going over the leg stump
- Aug 28, 2021 04:02 pm IST
Session summary so far
After half an hour of play on Day 4: 6 overs, 9 runs and 1 wicket
- Aug 28, 2021 04:01 pm IST
RAHANE SHOWING EARLY SIGNS OF CONFIDENCE
THAT IS EXQUISITE! THAT IS CONFIDENCE!
What a drive from Rahane. Overpitched and just outside off by Robinson, Rahane presents the full face of the bat and plays through the line to find the long-off fence. More of these, pray the Indian fans
IND 224/3 after 86 overs, trail by 130 runs
- Aug 28, 2021 03:57 pm IST
Rahane off the mark
Ajinkya Rahane is off the mark as Anderson concedes two runs from that over.
IND 219/3 after 85 overs, trail by 135 runs
- Aug 28, 2021 03:51 pm IST
Rahane walks in next
Pujara is gone for a well-made 91 and he was undone by the length there. Clearly a batsman's error!
Kohli-Pujara partnership ends on 99.
Ajinkya Rahane is the new man in.
IND 217/3 after 84 overs, trail by 137 runs
- Aug 28, 2021 03:46 pm IST
England review AND OUT
HOWZAT!!! NOT-OUT! England review. Robinson's delivery pitches on length and jags back into the stumps sharply.
Pujara didn't offer a shot and tried to pad it away.
There was a huge shout but the umpire originally gave it not out.
OUT! But the replay showed that the ball was hitting the off stump.
Since no shot was offered, the impact didn't matter
- Aug 28, 2021 03:43 pm IST
Going back in time
Anderson is back to bowling old-fashioned out-swingers to Virat Kohli and the Indian skipper is happy to leave them.
A third maiden on the trot.

HERE WE GO- 2nd New ball taken
Anderson to Virat Kohli with the second new ball and the gentle outswinger outside off is shouldered arms by Virat Kohli.
Excellent leave! The ball was very close to the off-stump before jagging away. Kohli kept his temptation to drive in check as he left it alone.
Another good delivery and another good leave from the Indian captain. Very similar to the last delivery.
Anderson begins with a maiden
IND 215/2 after 81 overs, trail by 139 runs

Kohli approaching fifty
After five innings in the ongoing England tour, India captain Virat Kohli is nearing to his 26th Test fifty. He scored 40 in the first innings of the Lord's Test but now, he is unbeaten on 45. Can he break the jinx and get a fifty?
- Aug 28, 2021 02:06 pm IST
Cheteshwar Pujara - big threat for England
It seemed like India might fall against the England pace attack on the third day and the hosts would level the series with an innings win. But India top order didn't let that happen. After Rohit departed, Cheteshwar Pujara took charge and the way he anchored the innings was phenomenal. He is unbeaten on 91 and will root for his 19th ton.
