Tireless downpour had the last say at Trent Bridge with the fifth and last day of the Nottingham Test cleaned out on Sunday (August 8). With the principal round of the 2021-23 World Test Championship cycle finishing in a draw, both England and India will bring home four focuses each from the installation as the five-match series currently moves to the Home of Cricket, Lord’s, for the following Test.

The climate gauge had tempest alerts for the end of the week, however while it remained away for the entirety of Saturday, the last day saw an enemy of climatic completion to a game that hung in balance.

India required 157 more, while England required nine excess wickets with cloudy skies prone to support their speed assault. The last day thrill ride had been set up by Joe Root’s counter-assaulting hundred – Test century No. 21 and first on home soil in quite a while – on the penultimate day to clear off England’s first-innings shortfall of 95, and Jasprit Bumrah, who with his 6th Test fifer, blew away the tail to end England’s charge.

With India having lightened sub-200 pursues on their past excursion to these shores, even the 209-run target required a wary methodology. Also, a familiar KL Rahul gave an optimal beginning, actually like in the principal innings, getting about six limits and trading out completely on England’s free bowling that was an immediate consequence of their franticness to strike in the withering minutes of the day’s play.

The hosts handled a counterpunch with Broad picking his first wicket of the game to dispose of India’s first innings top-scorer Rahul with a peach, leaving the match tantalizingly ready. Just for downpours to play spoilsport.

Morning showers before the planned beginning constrained early lunch to be taken. In any case, the downpour died down just in short spells with the chance of play looking progressively far-fetched as time passes. The umpires at long last reassessed at 3:50 pm neighborhood time, despite the fact that a somewhat drier evening was on the cards.

Prior in the game, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami had killed England for only 183 on the first day of the season to set up the game for India. KL Rahul made 84 while Ravindra Jadeja too scored 50 years to take India to 278.
