On a pitch where spinners were picking up wickets almost on cue, Ashwin struggled to get going in the second innings even as Axar Patel struck early blows.
R Ashwin:
After being denied by DRS, Ashwin got his bunny Ben Stokes out in the 18th over of the innings, trapping him right in front of the wicket.
His 399th victim was Ollie Pope, who missed the straighter one and was clean bowled. Ashwin reached the milestone by trapping Jofra Archer in front.
BCCI paid tribute to Ashwin by calling him a 'world champion bowler'. ICC too paid tribute to Ashwin through their Twitter handle.
