Visitors got the ball reversing nicely, they took advantage of it, says Joe Root

After stumbling to a 157run loss in the fourth Test against India England skipper Joe Root said that it was frustrating to lose all ten wickets on the final day of the game however he also praised the visitors bowling attackThe Virat Kohliled side stormed to an emphatic 157run win over England to take a 21 lead in the ongoing fivematch series Indian bowlers delivered big time on the last day of the fourth Test at the Kennington Oval on September 6 as the genius of mercurial Jasprit Bumrah and allround performance by Shardul Thakur in the match helped visitors in defeating England by 157 runs to gain a 21 in the fivematch seriesIts been frustrating to lose 10 wickets But I think actually where the game is lost where we could really stamp out authority on things was earlier in the game I think we should have gotten a bigger lead the first time around It would have been nice to have another 100 runs actually And then were looking at a very different game We have got to be a little bit more ruthless with those first innings runs and with our catches although some of them were extremely difficult But it has to be said at the same time you give chances and halfchances to worldclass players and they take them We have seen that throughout this game Root said during a virtual press conferenceIts disappointing frustrating especially turning up today with the opportunity to go and win a Test match To be bowled out is hard to take for the lads in the changing room Also well look at how we responded to Lords and the performance we put in at Headingley Were going to look to do exactly the same at Old Trafford he addedWith the conditions good enough for batting England openers got the hosts off to a decent start with both scoring fifties however Shardul came into the attack and got rid of Burns in his first over of day 5 Shardul Thakur who was part of the Indian quartet in scoring more than 50 runs in the second innings also dazzled with the ball as he sent back Joe Root to the pavilion laterWe had to earn the right to get ourselves in a position to dictate terms It was always going to have to be the case that we needed wickets in hand We certainly set things up nicely Going into lunch it would have been nice to be only one down It was more if we got into a position near tea where we had wickets in hand then we could have definitely looked to put our foot on the gas and put India under pressure You know when there are wickets in hand you always feel like you can score quickly India would have probably had to be a little more defensive with some of their fields and they would have had that in the back of their mind that we could chase them down said RootAlso Read Bumrah Jadeja fashion Indias victory in 4th Test against EnglandUnfortunately we couldnt quite take it deep enough and that was a wonderful spell of bowling that really turned the game They got the ball reversing nicely and they took advantage of it and we just didnt have the right answers which is slightly frustrating I think weve seen things that weve got to get better at Weve got to keep looking to improve recognising those key moments in games and enforcing our advantage We did it at Headingley and we didnt quite manage to do that this time around Its something that weve got to be more consistent at he added India and England will now lock horns in the fifth and final Test beginning September 10 at ManchesterThis story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed agencies Midday accepts no responsibility or liability for its dependability trustworthiness reliability and data of the text Midday managementmiddaycom reserves the sole right to alter delete or remove without notice the content in its absolute discretion for any reason whatsoever
