Indian hopes of seeing Rishabh Pant take the second innings lead past the 200-run mark were dashed in as early as the 4th over of the fifth morning as the southpaw nicked off to Ollie Robinson for a 46- ball 22.
It all happened on the third ball of the 86th over when Robinson dished out a length delivery, one that went with the angle across Pant.
Pant could have left that delivery alone but given the fact that he had already made a front foot press, he ended up nicking it to Jos Buttler, who took the easiest of the catches.
Pant wore a dejected look on his face as he looked towards the heavens while walking back to the pavilion.
The southpaw started off well on the fourth morning as he farmed the strike while ensuring that he took a single on the fourth or the fifth delivery.
He also smoked a whirlwind cover-drive off James Anderson and had even clipped Ollie Robinson for a double but the latter eventually had the last laugh.
