Chasing 35 more runs to win with wickets in hand, England were bowled out for 367 as Siraj and Prasidh Krishna delivered under pressure.
Siraj, who had already made an impact in the final session of Day 4, wrapped up the innings by dismissing the tail in quick succession. Prasidh Krishna also played a crucial role, ending with four wickets. England appeared to be in control before India’s pace duo launched a fiery counterattack.
Centurions Joe Root and Harry Brook, who had anchored England’s innings, were dismissed in a dramatic passage of play late on Day 4, triggering a collapse. England lost three wickets for 36 runs during that phase, setting up a tense finale.
India, led by Shubman Gill in this Test, needed a win to level the series and retain the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. With this victory, they did just that—squaring the five-match series 2-2 and denying England a home win.
