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.

In fact for only the first time in this domestic season, five Indian bowlers had a non-zero number in their wickets column. It was a proper division of labour that saw Virat Kohli's men complete the demolition job on Monday morning, with England losing their last 9 wickets for 71 runs starting from Alastair Cook's dismissal off the last ball on day four -- Ravindra Jadeja getting Kohli perhaps the most crucial breakthrough in the innings.



The day started in expected fashion with Ashwin getting rid of the rather-aptly named Ben Duckett for the fourth time in four innings this series. What followed was a procession, but not one orchestrated by Ashwin. Jadeja, Jayant Yadav and Mohammed Shami all chipped in with the breakthroughs.
