England suffered their first series defeat of the Bazball era on Monday, despite posing a late fight back in the final day of their fourth Test against India in Ranchi.
Shoaib Bashir offered Ben Stokes’ side a glimmer of hope taking two wickets in two balls just after lunch. But his efforts were in vein, with Shubman Gill and Dhruv Jurel steadying things in the afternoon for the hosts, helping them take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the series.
