While all-rounder Moeen Ali put up a quickfire 38-run stand with Stuart Broad (5 not out) for the last wicket, he eventually fell to Chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav, who ended England&#39;s second innings with two wickets. Moeen hit three fours and five sixes in his 18-ball 43.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">India Level The Series 1-1!!<br \/>\r\n.<br \/>\r\n.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/indveng?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#indveng<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/indiancricket?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#indiancricket<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Afrv1bKM5k\">pic.twitter.com\/Afrv1bKM5k<\/a><\/p>\r\n&mdash; CRICKETNMORE (@cricketnmore) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cricketnmore\/status\/1361573840871038978?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 16, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after:always\"><span style=\"display:none\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>Ashwin claimed eight wickets in the match and hit 106 with the bat as India bounced back from their crushing opening loss in the four-match series. Axar ended up with figures of 5\/60, following up on his first-innings figures of 2\/40.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Opener Rohit Sharma hit an attacking 161 to set up India&#39;s big innings after they won the toss and elected to bat first. Sharma&#39;s seventh Test ton and first against England raised the pitch of the returning Indian crowd -- present in a stadium for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ashwin&#39;s five wickets to help bowl out England for 134 in the first innings in response to India&#39;s 329 set the tone for the host&#39;s dominance. England conceded a lead of 195 and then struggled on a pitch that offered turn from day one and was criticized by some pundits.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after:always\"><span style=\"display:none\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"und\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/indveng?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#indveng<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/raviashwin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#raviashwin<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ianbothom?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ianbothom<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/indiancricket?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#indiancricket<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pv70U56cb8\">pic.twitter.com\/pv70U56cb8<\/a><\/p>\r\n&mdash; CRICKETNMORE (@cricketnmore) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cricketnmore\/status\/1361258014414528512?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 15, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\r\n\r\n<p>The win takes India to the second spot on the World Test Championship points table.
