England marked the sixth anniversary of their unforgettable World Cup win at Lord's with another heart-pounding victory at the home of cricket, Shoaib Bashir stepping off the injured list to deliver the decisive wicket.
On July 14, 2019, Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer were both involved in a famous super over success over New Zealand and one of English cricket's red letter days delivered again as the pair took England within sight of victory.
They shared four wickets as India fell to 147 for nine chasing 193, but the dogged Ravindra Jadeja looked like dragging the tourists over the line.
He made 61 not out in 181 balls but was stranded at the non-striker's end as England snatched a 22-run triumph and a 2-1 series lead, with Bashir the unlikely matchwinner.
The 21-year-old spinner has barely been seen since suffering a suspected fracture to the little finger of his left hand but he removed number 11 Mohammed Siraj with the penultimate ball of his sixth over to spark riotous celebrations.
The ball was defended off the face of Siraj's bat but had enough spin on it to rip back off the pitch and into leg stump, flicking the bail off in what felt like slow motion.
Approximately half of the 30,000 sellout crowd exploded in ecstasy but a large and loud India contingent fell silent having started to believe in a remarkable result of their own.
