Earlier in the day, Axar Patel picked up his 3rd Test five-wicket haul and Ravichandran Ashwin picked up his 400th scalp in the longest format of the game as India bundled out England for 81 in their second innings. 17 wickets fell on Thursday as spinners dominated the first international game at the refurbished stadium in Ahmedabad.
