India’s nightmare in Manchester deepened on Saturday as they crumbled to 0/2 in the span of five deliveries, shortly after England surged to a daunting 669. With a 311-run first-innings deficit already looming, India were thrust into an awkward pre-lunch passage, and unraveled almost instantly. Yashasvi Jaiswal, the in-form batter at the top, was undone by a Chris Woakes delivery that straightened just enough to induce an edge, with Joe Root juggling and then holding on at slip.

On the very next ball, Sai Sudharsan, playing just his second Test, misjudged a harmless delivery and offered a soft edge to Harry Brook at second slip. While Shubman Gill survived the hat-trick delivery, India have already been pushed to the brink as they stare at a heavy defeat at Old Trafford.

England’s fast bowlers, Woakes and Jofra Archer, continued to extract bounce and movement from the same surface that looked lifeless during parts of India’s bowling effort. The contrast couldn’t have been starker where England’s seamers looked incisive and purposeful, India’s had appeared toothless across Day 3.

Stuart Broad, the former English bowling great, however, offered a different perspective on India's poor start with the bat. Broad seemed to sympathise with the Indian batters, who came to bat minutes after fielding for 158 overs, and stated that mental and physical tiredness played a role in the duo's early departure.

“Fresh legs, fresh bowlers. If you give your bowlers two nights' sleep in a Test match, they will come out and make the ball talk. It's an interesting one, Jaiswal, second ball, tried to cut one and missed, and he immediately shook his legs. You know what you do when you've got lactic acid in your legs, you've got to shake them out and get some feeling. That to me showed that mentally and physically, he was tired, and he was trying to switch himself on,” Broad told during the Lunch break on Day 4.
