Left-arm spinner Axar Patel, who bagged 11 wickets in only his second Test, became the second spinner after R. Ashwin to take a wicket off the first ball of the innings in this series. He clean bowled England's Zak Crawley on Thursday. A ball later, Patel castled Jonny Bairstow as England lost two wickets for nought. Earlier in the series, Ashwin had Rory Burns caught at slip off the first ball of the innings in the first Test in Chennai.

 

Patel then accounted for Dom Sibley, Joe Root and Ben Foakes to become the first bowler ever to pick up 11 wickets in a D/N game. He had starred on Test debut with a five-wicket haul in Chennai and picked up 6 for 38 in the first innings in Ahmedabad.
