The third test match between England and India saw the result within 2 days of the Game’s play. 17 wickets have fallen on the second day and England gave a target of just 49 runs to India in order to win the test match that is taking place at the Ahmedabad ground.

India won majority sessions and stayed on top on Day 1 of the third Test against the visitors. Local boy Axar Patel bagged six wickets to restrict the Root-led team to 112 runs. England Opener Zak Crawley scored the most runs for him team (53 runs). Ravichandran Ashwin picked three wickets whereas Ishant picked an early wicket for team India.

Day one ended with India scoring 99 runs with the loss of three wickets. However, as soon as starting day 2, wickets started falling in a regular interval for India and the team got all out for 145 runs. English batsmen came in to bat with a trial of just 33 runs. The team, after coming to bat, started losing wickets from the very first ball.

Axar Patel picked five more wickets and Ashwin, with his four wickets achieved the 400 and 600 mark in Test and International cricket respectively. With Sundar picking up the last wicket, England got all out for 81 runs and India needed just 49 runs to win the third test. Rohit Sharma finished the match with a huge six and the team won quite comfortably on the second day itself.

Many people who support team England blamed the pitch and Alexandra Hartley, one of the players of team England, came up with a tweet trolling England players for their loss. She said “Nice of the England boys to get this test match finished just before England Women play tonight” in her tweet.
