The local boy Axar Patel took four wickets as India bowled out England for just 205 runs in the first innings of the fourth Test after they chose to bat first in the morning. Patel, who has now taken 22 wickets in the series, is feeling like Test Cricket is a breeze. In the five innings of his career, thus far, the Gujarat-lad has taken three five-wicket hauls and finished with figures of 4/68 on Thursday.

England skipper Joe Root won the toss and chose to bat first on a drier surface that had a little more pace and help for the faster bowlers. However, they didn’t have a favourable start as after a slow first five overs, Patel drew the first blood going through Dom Sibley’s gate.

It didn’t take him and Indian to get the second breakthrough as Zak Crawley went one too many trying to throw Patel out of the attack. Skipper Root and Jonny Bairstow halted the downfall of wickets for a little while before pacer Mohammed Siraj got the former trapped in front of the wickets.

Thereafter, the pair of Bairstow and Ben Stokes helped England get through lunch without any more casualties. However, the post-lunch session had more problems in store for them as they lost Bairstow, a few minutes into the second session.

Stokes continued his merry run as he notched-up his half-century, as he along with Ollie Pope took their team’s score past 120. But, it was a tame end for Stokes as was dismissed by Washington Sundar LBW. Dan Lawrence, coming at No 7 took over from Stokes as he played his shots from the outset.

Pope and Lawrence got England past 150 and were looking threatening. But, it was Ashwin’s turn to add to his wickets column. He removed Pope and Ben Foakes in quick succession to reduce England to 170-7. Lawrence continued to score runs and add some respectability to England’s total.

Patel though had other ideas. He came back and removed Lawrence and off-spinner Dom Bess in the same over. After which, it was just formalities as India bowled out England for just 205.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
