"An attacking bowler....": Indian bowling coach hails Akash Deep

After a batting-dominant two and the half sessions, the final few overs of the final session featured the English batters struggling against Indian pacers Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep. One of Akash Deep's deliveries was wider on the crease, pitched on attacking full length, nipped away, beating the outside edge of Root's bat, leaving his stumps castled and sending him back for six tons. It could very well be a potential match-sealing moment for India, considering Root's hunger and ability to score big.
