It’s special to get my first Test win: Ollie

England pacer Ollie Robinson on Saturday said his legendary teammate James Anderson helped him in tweaking his wobble grip ball technique and it gave him a perfect result in the third Test against India.

Robinson exploited the second new ball on the fourth morning en route a splendid bowling figures of 26-6-65-5 as England drew level in the five-match series with an innings and 76-run win.

"I noticed Jimmy holding his wobble grip slightly differently. I was holding it from the other side so I spoke to him and just tried to practise it in the nets," Robinson told reporters after his man-of-the-match performance.

"It went quite nicely, so I tried it in the game and it worked quite well. It's something I need to practise a bit more. This learning opportunity is invaluable for me at this stage in my career and luckily it came off today," he added.

Out-of-form India skipper Virat Kohli got to his first fifty of the series, but only to be dismissed by Robinson, something that triggered a stunning collapse. "It feels like a very special day. I don't quite feel like it's settled in yet. For me, it's one of the great days in my cricket career, to get my first Test win is really special."

On the prized scalp of Kohli, Robinson said: "It is an amazing feeling. The noise when we got him out was deafening."
