England ‘bazballers’ will bemoan losing Zak Crawley to an unavoidable occurrence and mull how best to keep safe from the Decision Review System (DRS) hereon as they seek to bounce back from an upset second Test loss to India. The hosts, widely considered a threat to England's hopes of securing a fifth Test series win, pulled off a 106-run triumph on Monday in an extended afternoon session.

Opener Crawley stood out with his 132-ball-73 as England came out all guns blazing in their mountainous chase despite losing Ben Duckett on day three. Interestingly, the on-field umpire Marais Erasmus denied India's appeal off Kuldeep Yadav, but the second-ranked Indian team successfully reviewed the call minutes later, much to England’s dismay.
