Mohammed Siraj, who had worked hard throughout the day without much success, eventually got his turn when he got rid of Chris Woakes with a ball that skidded low. It was a good length ball seaming in on middle stump. Woakes, who played to defend, was surprised as the ball did not rise much and slid under the bat. It struck the toe-end, then rolled onto the stumps to provide Siraj with a much-needed breakthrough. The Indian pacer, who had been displaying tremendous energy and effort all day long, was visibly relieved when he celebrated with his signature 'Siu' gesture. The wicket arrived at the right moment for India and lifted the team's mood.

After showing some fight early on, the Indian bowlers gradually lost control as England posted a massive total, pushing India to the brink in both the Test and the series. This was the first time since 2021 that India conceded over 500 runs in an innings an indication of how far things slipped. The morning session gave some hope. The bowlers were disciplined, kept their lines tight, and didn’t allow England to score freely. But with the ball losing its shine and the surface offering little help, the pressure soon eased. England’s batters capitalised, and India couldn’t find the breakthroughs when they needed them the most. One of the most surprising aspects of the day was the delayed use of Washington Sundar. He bowled only after the 69th over, despite looking like India’s most effective bowler. His quick wickets after lunch sparked brief optimism, but Joe Root’s superb innings silenced any hopes of a turnaround. Root reached 150 and, in doing so, became the second-highest run-scorer in Test history. By stumps, it was clear India had been outplayed. The body language of the players told the story: tired, frustrated, and aware that the match had likely slipped beyond reach.
