With five centurions, 865 runs and a fast bowling masterclass from Jasprit Bumrah, India would have been justified for thinking that they had done enough to take a 1-0 series lead against their hosts.
But they hadn't banked on the pitch improving for batters into the final day and an impressive counterattack from Ben Duckett, Zak Crawley and Joe Root. Ultimately, England's batters almost made the win look like a stroll. They've already announced an unchanged team for this match, despite the inclusion of exciting seamer Jofra Archer to the squad.
The tourists' young captain, Shubman Gill, must still be scratching his head and wondering where it all went wrong. He now needs to show his leadership qualities to lift his side up, dust them down and level up the series with a win in Birmingham this week.
