Scorecard

England was bowled out for 164 in 54.2 overs as they bowed down to the spin magic of Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav. The four-match Test series is now level at 1-1.

Axar picked a maiden five-wicket haul on his debut to end with figures of five for 60 and Ashwin ended with three for 53. Yadav picked up two for 25.

Captain Joe Root (33) held firm for a while but his partners fell around him. For a brief while, Root and Ben Stokes held around, but the result was always a foregone conclusion.

Towards the end, Moeen Ali used the long handle to good effect. He struck five sixes and three boundaries before he became the last man to be dismissed for 43 off 18 balls.

For his all-round effort for eight wickets and a hundred, Ashwin was named the man of the match.
