Washington Sundar cleans up Joe Root
In the 43rd over of England’s innings, Washington delivered a crucial breakthrough for India by bowling Root for 40 runs. Root, who had been steadily building the partnership, tried to sweep but left his leg stump vulnerable. Sundar’s ball drifted in and slipped past Root’s bat, hitting the leg stump cleanly. This dismissal mirrored an earlier wicket of Harry Brook and came at a vital moment when the partnership was gaining momentum and threatening India’s position.
The importance of this wicket was clear as the Indian fielders erupted in celebration, with Sundar throwing his hand up in excitement. The energy and joy on the field highlighted how valuable this wicket was in shifting the momentum back in India’s favor during a tense phase of the match.

On a pitch that is increasingly proving tricky for batters, the Indian bowlers rose to the occasion with relentless and disciplined bowling. Mohammed Siraj and Washington Sundar were the standout performers, picking up two wickets each. With just 175 runs on the board and only four wickets in hand, the pressure is firmly on England.
