However, first, a poor batting performance on the fourth day saw India being bundled out for 245 in the second innings and then Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow played unbeaten knocks of 142 and 114 respectively as England chased down 378 to win the rescheduled fifth Test by seven wickets. As a result, the series that got underway last year, finished as 2-2.
The Indian cricket team went down tamely on the final day of the rescheduled fifth Test against England to lose by 7 wickets as Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root smashed unbeaten centuries to take the hosts to an emphatic win.
