AFP, Visakhapatnam :
Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah took a match haul of nine wickets to lead India’s 106-run win over England in the second Test on Monday and level the five-match series.
Chasing a record 399 for victory, England were bowled for 292 in the second session on day four in Visakhapatnam, despite an attacking start and Zak Crawley’s 73.
Bumrah and spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who ended the match on 499 Test wickets, took three each in the final innings and the pace spearhead bowled Tom Hartley to complete the win.
Shubman Gill set up the comeback victory for the hosts with his 104 on day three to set England, who won the opener, a daunting target.
England came out swinging with their “Bazball” brand of cricket, Crawley and company hitting boundaries despite losing wickets.
Left-arm spinner Axar Patel broke through when he trapped Rehan Ahmed lbw for 23, after the nightwatchman hit five fours in his 31-ball knock.
Ollie Pope hammered five boundaries in his brief stay at the wicket, before Ashwin had him caught at slip on 23. Joe Root showed no signs of the finger injury which kept him out of the field for much of Sunday as he reverse-swept for two fours.
