5th Test, Day 5: Jadeja spins India to 4-0 series victory

The last day of the final Test of the five-match India v England series at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai on Tuesday had battle of attrition written all over it. After Karun Nair’s 303* assault had ruled out any chance of India losing the dead rubber, England had to ensure that they don’t implode on the final day.

But they did – from 103 for no loss, England were all out for 207, losing the match by an innings and 75 runs. The first time in the history of the game a team lost a Test match by an innings after posting over 450 runs in the first innings.

India claimed the series 4-0,
