After that, washington sundar and ravindra jadeja combined and played well without losing a wicket. At that time, they had put on 122 runs, and england, who were desperate to break their partnership, did a great job.The team's opener, Zak Crawley, and veteran Joe Root bowled the ball in a tight spot on the pitch. They planned to pitch the ball in that spot. Normally, it is normal to pitch the ball from one place to another when fielding. However, they planned to bowl the ball in a tight spot. The reason for this is that when the ball hits that tight spot, one side of it gets worn out. This allows the fast bowlers to reverse swing the ball. There were 28 overs left on the fifth day. At that time, the umpire, who noticed their action, called Zak Crawley and warned him. After that, the english players stopped doing that. In the end, ravindra jadeja and washington sundar remained unbeaten until the end and completed their centuries.
The indian team successfully drew the match. Such actions by the england team are against the ethics of the game. If the team talks about the ethics of the game from now on, it will be a laughing matter.
