Chasing 374 for victory, England resumed day five on 339-6, and needed just 35 more runs for a 3-1 series triumph. But they were bowled out for 367, with Siraj picking a sensational 5-104 as India leveled the five-match series 2-2.

England had no answers to Siraj’s precision and persistence, as he tore through the lower order with a burst of three wickets while conceding only nine runs in 25 balls. Fittingly, Siraj sealed the win for India by knocking over Gus Atkinson’s off-stump.

"I would rate this highly because from the first day till now, the way we fought, it was an unbelievable fight. Each and every one in the dressing room had the belief that we will win the match from here,” said Siraj in the post-match press conference.
