India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG:

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: India lost Rohit Sharma early but Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill looked almost untroubled either side of Lunch. The pair put up 82 runs for the second wicket with Gill upping the ante after Lunch. Shoaib Bashir broke the stand by sending Gill back on 38. Bashir then went on to dismiss Ravindra Jadeja and soon got the wicket of Jaiswal himself to complete his maiden Test four-wicket haul. …Read More

Earlier, Joe Root and Ollie Robinson dominated the first half an hour with India looking rather deflated in that period. The eighth-wicket stand between Root and Robinson reached 102 runs in 163 balls, with the latter scoring 58 off 96. Jadeja finally got the breakthrough for India in the form of Robinson’s wicket, after he which he got one more wicket in the same over. James Anderson fell soon thereafter and Ravindra Jadeja finished with four wickets. Root was unbeaten on 122 off 274 and England were all out for 353.

Earlier, Akash Deep enjoyed a memorable debut by dismantling England’s top order in the first session on Day 1, giving India an early upper hand. The spin duo of Ashwin and Jadeja struck in quick succession before Lunch, further bolstering India’s dominance. England found themselves in trouble at 112/5, but Root and Foakes steadied the ship with a resilient partnership after Lunch, marking the first session in this series without losing a wicket. Their partnership exceeded 100 runs, and although they accelerated after tea, Siraj’s fiery spell saw the dismissal of Foakes and Hartley, swinging the momentum back towards India.

Mohammed Siraj struck the breakthrough in the final session of Day 1, as he dismissed Ben Foakes on 47 to end a gritty 113-run stand for the sixth wicket. Root and Foakes kept the aggressive ‘Bazball’ style of batting in the backburner and their resistance seemed to have frustrated India with a lot of frowning faces towards the end of that session and Rohit Sharma burning their last remaining review for an LBW decision against Foakes.

Earlier, pacer Akash Deep has made a dream debut to his Test career, taking three wickets in his first six overs and leaving England reeling after they won the toss and chose to bat. England eventually lost half their batting lineup in the first session with Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin taking a wicket each before Lunch.

Akash Deep replaced the rested Jasprit Bumrah and has been almost unplayable in the early part of the first session. He knocked Zak Crawley over in his second over but it turned out that he had overstepped, thus giving the batter a lifeline. He then took the wickets of Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope shortly thereafter and then smashed Crawley’s off stump. This time, it was a legitimate delivery and Crawley had to walk. England captain Ben Stokes earlier said that spinner Rehan, who has been their highest wicket-taker thus far in this series, has gone back home for personal reasons and will not return for the rest of the series.

Ranchi plays host for the decisive fourth Test between India and England. India currently lead the five-match series 2-1 and a win here for the hosts would mark the end of England’s quest to prevent Rohit Sharma’s side from winning yet another Test series at home. On the other hand if England do manage to win it, the series goes back to level-pegging at 2-2 and sets up an exciting finale in Dharamsala.

India are going to be without their ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah, with the 30-year-old having been rested in order to manage his workload. Bumrah has bowled well over 80 overs in this series and is the highest wicket-taker. Mohammed Siraj, who had been rested in the second Test, is now expected to lead the pace effort and Bengal fast bowler Akash Deep could also make his debut.

KL Rahul, who injured his thigh in the opening Test in Hyderabad, has not recovered yet but India will take heart from Sarfaraz Khan’s twin fifties in his debut Test in Rajkot. Wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel, who also made his debut in Rajkot, struck a fluent 46 to prove he is no dud with the bat either.

India have been forced to hand debut caps to Rajat Patidar, Dhruv Jurel and Sarfaraz Khan so far because to the absence of Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer, and with pace spearhead Bumrah too being rested for the Ranchi Test, Akash Deep could also be in line for the coveted Test spot. Additionally, Devdutt Padikkal is knocking on the doors with Patidar failing to impress in his first four innings.

Sarfaraz, though, would be an easy fit into the side for the remainder of this series thanks to the twin half-centuries he scored in his debut Test in Rajkot. His Mumbai teammate Yashasvi Jaiswal, meanwhile, has probably confirmed himself for the next few Test series at the very least. Jaiswal has scored two double centuries this series and is the highest run scorer by some distance. In six innings, Jaiswal has smashed 545 runs at an average of 109.00. Ben Duckett, with 288 at 48.00, is a distant second.

Smarting from their record defeat by 434 runs in Rajkot, England have brought in seamer Robinson and spinner Shoaib Bashir, replacing Mark Wood and Rehan Ahmed. The shellacking also prompted questions about England’s ultra-aggressive approach, which many feel borders on recklessness. England captain Ben Stokes, who is tipped to resume bowling in this match following knee surgery last November, has brushed aside the backlash. The look of the pitch in Ranchi was a greater concern for the 32-year-old as he plots ways to keep England alive in the series.

Here are some highlights around India vs England 4th Test:

– Shubman Gill scored 38 off 65 but he fell with the stand with Jaiswal on 82

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Bashir overpitches the fourth ball of the 51st slightly and Jurel lofts it over mid-on. It wasn’t the cleanest of strikes or else it would have flown over the boundary, takes a bounce just before the ropes instead. No runs off the next two balls and Jurel is on six off 14, Sarfaraz on 14 off 50. India still trail by 182 runs, they need some big hits now.

IND vs ENG Live Score: India 171/5

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Sarfaraz is on 12 off 42, Jurel on two off 10. India under a mountain of pressure at the moment, the run rate is trickling along at less than a run an over for the past half an hour or so.

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: GONE! BASHIR GETS JAISWAL!

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: No century this time for Jaiswal. The batter stays on the backfoot to a length ball, it stays low and sneaks past him to hit his middle stump. Bashir’s first four-wicket haul in first class cricket.

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Close call for Sarfaraz!

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Well Sarfaraz goes for a single that was never there off the fourth ball of the 41st. He runs back and dives, Foakes cleans up the stumps and the umpire goes upstairs. Sarfaraz takes off his bat and looks a little distraught, replay shows that he had dived with the wrong side of the bat down, because of which he just about makes it. Two dot balls after that and Sarfaraz is on three off 17. Jaiswal on 57 off 104.

IND vs ENG Live Score: India 136/4

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: The players return

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Ok then, England on top, Jaiswal looking as good as ever with Sarfaraz at the other end. Can the Mumbai boys channel their domestic team’s famed khadoos approach here?

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: A bit of a cloud cover

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: There are enough clouds there for the broadcasters to do their tea time show indoors. For now though, the players are returning on time and there doesn’t seem to be an actual threat of rain anywhere in the vicinity.

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: TEA! India 131/4, trail by 222 runs

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Sarfaraz Khan sees out the last over of the session bowled by Hartley.

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Jadeja tries to defend the fifth ball of the 37th low but the ball pops of the crack, takes the top side of the bat and loops nicely to short leg. Bashir has put England on top in this session.

IND vs ENG Live Score: India 130/4

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: BACK TO BACK SIXES!

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Well Jadeja is in a different mood to what Jaiswal is in at the other end. He smashes two biggies off the fourth and fifth balls of the 36th over from Hartley and ends that over on 12 off 8.

IND vs ENG Live Score: India 129/3

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: GONE! Patidar falls

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Shoaib Bashir is doing the job for Stokes and England. Third ball of the 35th skids on and thumps Patidar on his pads. The batter takes the review but it looks unlikely that this will be overturned. India don’t lose the review as it is umpire’s call on wickets.

Patidar lbw b Shoaib Bashir 17 (42)

IND vs ENG Live Score: India 112/3 in 34.3 overs

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: 50 for Jaiswal!

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: FOUR!

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Fifth ball of the 28th from Anderson is tailing full into the pads. Rajat Patidar cashes in on that loose one, clips it past midwicket to the boundary. He is on eight off 18, Jaiswal at the other end on 46 off 79. The Indian batters have clearly taken a leaf out of Joe Root’s innings, just biding their time and not searching too much for runs.

IND vs ENG Live Score: India 97/2

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: GONE! Bashir gets Gill!

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: There is the wicket England were so desperately looking for. Turns in sharply and takes Gill on the pads. He has a long chat with Jaiswal before taking the review. It is umpire’s call on impact, what a delivery that is and Stokes’ faith in Bashir pays off.

Gill lbw b Shoaib Bashir 38 (65)

IND vs ENG Live Score: India 86/2

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: 4, no ball, 4; Gill flowing along

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Well Gill has taken off after Lunch and Jaiswal is sitting back. Robinson gives him some width and Gill stays deep and cuts it between point and cover. Then Robinson oversteps next ball after which he gives Gill width again, the batter hits it through that same gap. Gill is on 38 off 60, Jaiswal on 42 off 65.

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Close call for Jaiswal!

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: First time Jaiswal has given anything to England really. Last ball of the 20th, Robinson forces an edge off Jaiswal and Foakes takes it low. He celebrates, so do England, Jaiswal looks absolutely sure that the ball didn’t carry and the umpires confer before sending it upstairs. The ball seems to take a slight bit of grass before settling into Foakes’s gloves. Interestingly, the England players celebrate even more when they see the replay and look utterly stunned when the big screen flashes “NOT OUT”. Jaiswal was totally unperturbed throughout the process. He pushed at that one with almost no control, which is rare and something that he may want to avoid as much as he can. He is on 40 off 60, Gill on 25 off 52.

IND vs ENG Live Score: India 68/1

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Change of ends for Anderson

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Anderson follows up from the other end after that over from Bashir. Gill struck a four off the fifth ball in that over and took a single and thus moved to nine off 20. He will be on strike. There is significant cloud cover now, something that has been Anderson’s friend over the years.

England scored 51 runs in that session but then lost their last three wickets suddenly for six runs. That left Joe Root unbeaten on 122. Rohit Sharma then fell to James Anderson after scoring just two runs. Jaiswal has looked very good indeed while Gill not so much but nothing worrisome either.

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: That’s that! James Anderson tries a sweep shot and makes a meal of it. And so that is that for England, Joe Root finishes unbeaten on 122. Well an hour of agony for India and then three wickets fall like dominoes. Wonder if Bashir and Anderson could have done more to help Root inflate England’s score a little more. But what a maginificient effort this has been from the former England captain, helped ably by Ben Foakes and Ollie Robinson.

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: And Kuldeep almost strikes!

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Quite a strange sequence of events there. Kuldeep gets the fourth ball to drift in beautifully, it takes Root’s outside edge and Rohit grabs the ball low. He throws the ball back and then gestures the umpire to ask the third umpire if it is caught. The umpires confer briefly and then go to the television umpire. Wonder what is the legality of the fielding team’s captain telling the umpire to go upstairs and the latter doing so without it being a player review. Anyhow, the ball is clearly grounded and Root is safe. No runs off the rest of the deliveries and that over ends as a maiden.

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Robinson just two runs away from a fifty now! This has been a good start from England today.

IND vs ENG Live Score: England 302/7

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Ollie Robinson talks

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Robinson’s late charge played a big role in England reaching 300 yesterday. He spoke with the host broadcasters before the start of play today. “After watching the first few overs we thought the ball would behave like that all day. But it seems to flatten out as the ball got older and it will be interesting to see how it reacts today morning. It is about keeping my training going and whenever I am called upon I am ready to play. He (Akash Deep) bowled really well. Someone we have looked at on how he bowled and used the crease. It is about hitting the right lengths and allowing the pitch to do the rest. Yesterday we were looking at 250, but we are at 300 and if we can get to 350 and the wicket breaks up a little, it would be a good total,” he said.

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Will India take the new ball?
