Rishabh Pant vs Jack Leach
After getting hammered for massive sixes in the first Test, Leach came back strong. The England spinner bowled a fuller length delivery, asking to be hit in the fence. A greedy Pant could not resist himself, missed the line of the ball and Ben Foakes did the rest behind the stumps.

R Ashwin vs Ben Stokes
Ben Stokes got out for the record ninth time to R Ashwin in Tests. After surviving a DRS by the Indian spinner, Stokes was outfoxed by a full-length delivery by Ashwin. Only Alastair Cook has got out nine times to Ashwin in Test.

DRS blunders by umpires
The two most talked-about moments of the game would be the DRS decisions against Ajinkya Rahane and Rohit Sharma. In the first instance, third umpire Anil Chaudhary missed a flick by Rahane when the ball went past the bat. England retained their review (after losing it).
In another case, Rohit Sharma was ruled not out as on-field umpire felt the batsman offered a shot. The replay showed a completely different story.
