On the fourth day of the third Test at Headingley in Leeds on Saturday, India collapsed early in the morning, leading England to win by an innings and 76 runs and square the five-match series at 1-1. With statistics of 5/65, Ollie Robinson's pick while Craig Overton scalped three wickets. After starting the day on 215/2, India lost their final eight wickets for just 63 runs, allowing the hosts to sail to a comfortable victory. India had been knocked out for 78 in their first innings, and England had responded with a total of 432.
Speaking in the post-match presentation ceremony, India captain Virat Kohli said the middle-order collapse on Saturday morning was down to "scoreboard pressure" and praised the England bowlers for their performance. "(It's) basically down to scoreboard pressure. Always up against it when you get out for under 80 and the opposition puts up such a big score," he said.
"But we did well to stay in the game yesterday, fight back as much as we could, and gave ourselves a chance. But the pressure today was outstanding from the England bowlers and eventually, they got the results they wanted," Kohli added. The 32-year-old skipper defended his lower middle-order after a meek performance in Leeds.
