New Delhi: At Lunch on Day 4, the match was poised tantalizingly as neither India nor England were dominating the game. India needed a big session to put themselves on top and started well on Day 4 but after 30 minutes of play, introduction of Chris Woakes changed it all as the English bowlers bagged three big wickets, conceding only 59 runs. At Lunch, India were effectively 230 for the loss of six wickets.
Making his comeback from injury, Chris Woakes produced a majestic spell by taking two quick wickets to dent India. The speedster first caught Ravindra Jadeja plumb in front of stumps, and later dismissed out-of-sorts team India Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane for a duck. But the big prized wicket of dangerous-looking Virat Kohli was picked by spinner Moeen Ali as he sent the Indian captain packing for just 44. Virat has not been able to score a century in international cricket since 2019.
Virat Kohli, on his way back to the dressing room, used his bat to hit hardly the dressing-room door.
Here's the video of Virat's angry reaction...
Earlier on Day 3 of the ongoing Oval Test, Rohit Sharma's heroic 127-run knock- his maiden overseas ton - and his crucial partnerships with Cheteshwar Pujara and K.L. Rahul helped India take a 171-run lead before bad light forced early stumps. At the end of Day 3's play, India were 271/3 on Saturday.
