This time it was not an elephant who came to the oval, as in 1971.
Instead it was a wolf package that was growling and growling from the Indian Seam-Bowling bowling unit, scary and impressive in front of him, a savage.
In the bite and being able to sniff out the last panic in the opposition rank.
Half the century between victory in this iconic soil was enough time for metamorphosis completely by the way India approached their cricket.
Now the oval will, take part in a 157-run victory in the fourth test on Monday, standing forever testimony for this tectonic change under Virat Kohli.
When Shardul Thakur slowed but effective, the most impossible addition to this PACE package, get Joe Root to drag one back to the stump with an old ball, the game ended for England, which finally fell for 210 pursuing 368.
It would be a problem Some overs before the remnants of the last resistance will be exhaled from the host.
There is no Shami.
No Ishant.
But the Jasprit of Sensational Bermrah (22 of the 22 blisters of overs), the head of the whip of this attack, is the one-person army on the last day, a conductor in full control of his tough ability.
Now the fastest Indian Pacer up to 100 test wickets (24 tests), the bumrah shows why he turned off in the fourth round by breaking back England in a six-swing burst after lunch.
He was assisted and conspired with Ravindra Jadeja (2/50) his suspicion became rude from the other end and got goalkeeper Moeen Ali and Haseeb Hameed.
BMRAH, the second spell reads 6-3-6-2 and the Pope and Bairstow goal, is something complete: the machine is destruction on a flat and benign surface.
India made pressure on England until that the spell of the two bumrah, conceded only 54 walked in the morning session and got rid of burns, courtesy slightly swing magic from Shardul, and goalkeeper’s prize in Malan.
Fielders have been happy.
Indian sailors have that point right on the lines, accuracy and intensity of them, finding upside down swings that will make important differences.
Placement of Kohli Field is also targeted but the bumrah knows something extra is needed: After finding an average swing of 1.2 degrees in its second spell, the most from every bowler from day 2 according to Cricviz, the burrah releases the ball business, it’s a long yorker at Basic stump.
Bairstow (2.3 degrees swing) has no instructions and only the root certainty that allows the England captain to dig several.
If the bumrah does not make you Umesh Yadav (3/60) will, as the Woakes dismissal right before tea is confirmed.
Umesh has become a revelation in this test, finding its length and also shows a real increase in its line control.
At that speed he was a handful, especially with a new and second new ball when Overton found.
England was guilty of trying to imprecide the rate of assessment from an early age in their pursuit before being destroyed, leaving Sunil Gaväskar wondering what “the art of saving the test match was completely lost lately”.
Everyone likes good comeback stories, and this Indian team gives us one every few weeks in England! It seems that the game is for India on Day 1 when they lost seven goals for 127, but Shardul Thakur with bats had other plans.
The other responds.
Umesh first got rid of the roots to Peg England back.
Then came tons of overseas first Rohit Sharma, and then this highest bowling performance showed why it was never safe to remove this team.
India is now 2-1 and this is the first time since 1986 that they have won two tests on England tours.
Win the series that is difficult to understand seems to be in their grasp.
4th test: India led 2-1 series after the British Thumping of 157 Run
India posted the first test victory in the oval in 50 years
