Another fifer for Ashwin

The touring side's middle-order caved in after the interval. Ashwin claimed the important wicket of Ben Stokes, dismissing the all-rounder bowled for 18. Ashwin returned figures of 5-43 while Ishant and Patel claimed two wickets apiece. (ANI/BCCI Photo)

India did not feel the need to use second seamer Mohammed Siraj until the 39th over. Finally pressed into the attack, Siraj ended Ollie Pope's promising knock of 22 with his first delivery. (ANI/BCCI Photo)
