BOOMRAH!! Jasprit rips through English line-up as India win Oval test
Virat Kohli-led Indian team pulled off a sensational 157-run win in the fourth Test against England, only their second-ever at The Oval and first at the venue after 1971, to take an unassailable 2-1 lead in the five-match series.
The England team crumbled to 210 all out.
Bumrah (2-27) and Jadeja (2-50) ripped the heart out of England’s improbable chase of a record 368 with four wickets for just six runs early in the second session, as the hosts collapsed from 141-2 to 147-6 and eventually 210 all out.

This is also only the second time in history after 1986 that India have won two Tests on one tour of England. They had beaten England by 151 runs in the second Test at Lord’s last month.
The victory was through a remarkable turnaround for India as they had been bowled out for 191 in the first innings. But they managed to restrict England’s first-innings lead to just 99 runs. However, Indian batting was on its best display in the second innings. Indian team scored 466 and set England a target of 368 to win. Rohit Sharma scored his maiden overseas Test century in the second innings. Cheteshwar Pujara and skipper Virat Kohli chipped in with a fifty each. It was too much for England to handle.
