India vs England Live Score, 4th Test Day 3: Ashiwn gets five-for, England all-out


The resistance of Ben Foakles is finally broken as he was unable to pick the carrom ball which behaved like a leg spinner and played it with the turn towards the leg side, gout the edge and it flew back to the bowler and the catch was taken easily by Ashwin to claim his fourth wicket. 
 
That would be a five-wicket haul for Ravichandran Ashwin as Anderson goes for the reverse sweep, and doesn’t get the bat on the ball. The ball, after hitting the thigh pads, gets reflected and hits the bat in its followthrough and is caught brilliantly by Dhruv Jurel behind the stumps. Ashwin got the first three and the last two wickets.

Ben Foakes (15), Shoaib Bashir (1); Ravichandran Ashwin 15-0-51-3
 
The pattern is finally broken but Foakes would remain at the crease. There was an appeal for LBW on the fifth ball as Foakes reverse-swept and could not get enough bat on the ball.  The on-field umpire gave it out and Foakes reviewed it immediately. There was a bat involved and he survived and took a single off the last ball.
