England's 'blockathon' on day four turned out to be a mirage. A draw, which seemed like a distant possibility when Alastair Cook and Haseeb Hameed blocked everything that came that way, proved to be non-existent. Nowhere close to their reach, as it turned out, with India completing a massive 246-run victory on day five.

But the dismissal of the day had to be Jayant cleaning up the in-form Ben Stokes. Chosen as the surprise new-ball partner for Shami, the debutant left Stokes stunned with a ball that drifted in from around the wicket, landed on the seam and straightened past his bat. It was a dismissal Jayant will remember for a long, long time.

Kohli was quick to point out the biggest positive to emerge from this match. It was not his 167 and 81 in the two innings. It was not Cheteshwar Pujara's rousing form. It was not Ashwin's continued all-round brilliance.
