Virat Kohli, the India captain, passed 500 runs for the series while making 58 and put on 101 for the fourth wicket with vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane 51. But their exits either side of tea led to a collapse, with the match ending when Ravichandran Ashwin was lbw to Sam Curran. The fifth Test at The Oval in south London starts on Friday.
