'I owe Somerset so much but I'll leave if that's what it takes': England's Shoaib Bashir on the next stage of his wild journey to the top, his teary reaction to his dream call-up and his desire to prove doubters wrong

Exclusive INTERVIEW BY PAUL NEWMAN Shoaib Bashir discusses the time he was plucked from nowhere to bowl for England at some of the best players of spin in world cricket. The Bashir tale is a thrilling one. Why England turned into a rookie for one of the most difficult Test cricket assignments, released by Surrey at 17 years old and beginning his first tentative steps with Somerset. England's series in India may have resulted in a 4-1 loss, but the decision to cast three spinners - Bashir, Tom Hartley, and Rehan Ahmed - with no senior experience into the deep end and seeing them all swim was a triumph for the team. Bashir, who had played just six Championship games and taken ten expensive wickets before England picked him based on Ben Stokes' hunch, emerged as the most promising of the lot.

TOP SPIN AT THE TEST: Ben Stokes edges closer to 200th Test wicket as he claims first scalp in eight months - and Indian pair finally celebrate long-awaited 100-run partnership

After Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill gave a masterclass in batting on their way to individual centuries, India remains solidly in the driving seat of the fifth and final Test against England. They're back in control of the final Test with Kuldeep Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah batting a 4-1 draw.

Despite Ben Stokes' stunning entrance with the ball, England is dominated by India, with hosts racking up a 255 advantage on the second day of the final Test

PAUL NEWMAN IN DHARAMSHALA: If Ben Stokes writes his own scripts, it is fair to assume that he will not have England staring down the barrel in another traumatic loss after just two days in a dream setting. However, even the England captain could not have penned his spectacular but, let's face it, futile entrance with the ball in an otherwise predictable tale of Indian domination that will surely come to a 4-1 thumping any time soon. Stokes has been downplaying his chances of returning to his all-round role after recovering from knee pains late last year even though he has been steadily stepping up his bowling in practice.
