Is this drop going to cost match n Series win..?
Then Joe Roots horrible call does this :

Worried look on Indian players.
Earlier:

Surprisingly England started with Anderson n Joe Root..continued for 30 minutes..Lead 280 approaching 300..
But Broad strikes in his 1st over, Pujara Square cuts short ball straight to point on 66. India 153/4.
Lead 285.Shreyas joins Rishabh Pant 39*.

Everything happening fast .
Pant 53* off 78, Jadeja walks in.
Big big shock : Leach gets Pant in 1st slip..reverse sweeping. England comes back. Lead 330/6.

Post Lunch...England continues to bounce India out..
Shreyas onwards so successful:
Drags one on the stumps..Jadeja.
