India spinners once again held centre-stage as the hosts produced a clinical performance to cruise to a comfortable eight-wicket victory on the fourth day of the third cricket Test and thereby take a 2-0 lead in the five-match series. It was a match where England were outbatted and outbowled by an Indian side that has been plagued by injuries. Equally creditable was the all-round effort of the other two specialist spinners -- Jadeja (90 run and 4 wickets) and Jayant (55 runs and 4 wickets). Having polished off the top-order save Joe Root, the question on fourth day was not how but when will India finish the match. But post Root, Hameed did put up a fight but it was always for a losing cause.
