India vs England LIVE: Cricket result and reaction as hosts win after late Hartley resistance

India and England battle in the second Test in Visakhapatnam

Charlie Allison on England's Super sixes defeat to Australia

England faltered in their bid to chase down what would have been the highest-ever successful fourth-innings run chase in India, as the hosts levelled the series with an 106-run victory.

Zak Crawley got England off to a strong start at the top of the order after they resumed day four on 67 for one, following the wicket of Ben Duckett in the evening session of day three.

However, the wickets began to tumble. It was a case of starts but without big scores, aside from Crawley’s 73, no established England batter got close to a half century, and continued to struggle against the skill and speed of Jasprit Bumrah, who was the pick of the Indian bowlers.

Ollie Pope, who made a match-changing 196 as England overturned a 190-run deficit in the first Test at Hyderabad was out for 23.

One of England’s greatest-ever batters Joe Root was out for 16, and Ben Stokes was the result of a good piece of fielding and was run out for 11.

It would have taken something special, perhaps akin to the miracle of Headingley for England to even get close to the required 399 runs, but as the top order returned to the dressing room, it looked to become an impossible task.
