Axar, Ashwin knock over England for 205: 4th Test, Day 1 (Ahmedabad)

Spin duo Axar Patel and Ravi Ashwin were on song again as England's batsmen lost the battle of both mind and skills in yet another shoddy performance to surrender the momentum to India.

Only Stokes (55) and Lawrence (46) put up any resistance in good batting conditions as Patel (26-7-68-4), Ashwin (19.5-4-47-3) and Washington Sundar (7-1-14-1) cut through a sorry England batting lineup.

India 24 for 1 trail England 205 (Stokes 55, Lawrence 46, Patel 4-68) by 181 runs.
