IND VS ENG 1st Test Day 4 Highlights: Hartley, Pope shine in England's win

India vs England 1st Test Highlights: Tom Hartley took seven wickets and Ollipe Pope scored 196 runs as England's Bazball touched another high, winning the first Test of their tour of India by 28 runs

On Day 4 of the India vs England 1st Test at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad,  England bowled India out for 202 to defend their second innings lead of 230 runs and win the match by 28 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. Tom Hartley was the hero with the ball for the tourists as he picked up 7/62.

India started the last session of the day with Axar Patel and KL Rahul at the crease. They had put up 32 for the fourth wicket, but just after Tea, Tom Hartley got rid of Axar caught and bowled. Ben Stokes ran Ravindra Jadeja by a brilliant under-arm throw from mid-on. Then a flurry of wickets followed in which Root got Rahul and Leach dismissed Shreyas Iyer. 

Bharat and Ashwin then got together to put up a fight and they managed to put on 56 and resisted the England bowlers for nearly 22 overs. However, a brilliant Hartley could be resisted for long as he first got Bharat and then Stokes demanded an extra half an hour to finish the game and that forced Ashwin to play a big shot, attempting which he was stumped. 

The last pair of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj added 25 runs and almost threatened to take the game to the fifth day, before a rush of blood from Siraj made him jump out of the crease in the second ball of the last over of the day’s play and got stumped, giving England a 28-run victory and a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. 

India vs England 1st Test, Day 4: Session 1

Earlier England resumed their play from 316/6 on Day 4 and Rehan Ahmed and Ollie Pope added 23 more to their already brilliant partnership before Bumrah cut it short by getting rid of Ahmed. 

However, India did not get any reprieve as Tom Hartley, who joined Pope in the middle, more than just supported him, adding another 49 runs to make sure that the English team lost only one wicket in the first hour of play and got 72 runs in 16 overs. 

Pope was dropped by Rahul off 186 and then he and Hartley took England past 400. Pope and Hartley added 80 for the eighth wicket. However, once he was out, the remaining two wickets fell quickly too as Pope was out on a switch hit at the score of 196, the highest by an English batter in the second innings on Indian soil. 

England scored 104 runs and lost the four wickets in 25.1 overs to get bowled out for 420 and set India a target of 231 to win in the fourth innings. 

India vs England 1st Test, Day 4: Session 2

India started their chase in the second session of the day’s play. Although the openers Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal added 42 for the first wicket to give India a great start, Tom Hartley hurt them with two quick wickets and all of a sudden the game was looking even. 

However, Rohit Sharma applied a reverse sweep to rescuee and managed to get three boundaries in quick succession but one good ball from Hartley had his name on it and he was found plumb in front of the wicket as India lost their third wicket. 

Axar joined Rahul in the middle and dup braved very difficult and cashed in on the very little opportunity available to add an unbeaten 32 for the fourth wicket. A total of 95 runs were scored in the session with three wickets to go along with it as India went to Tea at 95/3, needing 136 more to win the match with seven wickets in hand.

India vs England 1st Test Day 4: What happened in the last session?

 

India started the last session of the day with Axar Patel and KL Rahul at the crease. They had put up 32 for the fourth wicket, but just after Tea, Tom Hartley got rid of Axar caught and bowled. Ben Stokes ran Ravindra Jadeja by a brilliant under-arm throw from mid-on. Then a flurry of wickets followed in which Root got Rahul and Leach dismissed Shreyas Iyer. 

 

Bharat and Ashwin then got together to put up a fight and they managed to put on 56 and resisted the England bowlers for nearly 22 overs. However, a brilliant Hartley could be resisted for long as he first got Bharat and then Stokes demanded an extra half an hour to finish the game and that forced Ashwin to play a big shot, attempting which he was stumped. 

 

The last pair of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj added 25 runs and almost threatened to take the game to the fifth day, before a rush of blood from Siraj made him jump out of the crease in the second ball of the last over of the day’s play and got stumped, giving England a 28-run victory and a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. 

5:33 PM

India vs England 1st Test Day 4 Live Score: England win by 28 runs

 

The field is being set and Hartley has the ball in hand to try and get the last wicket. There is no silly point, no short leg and Siraj goes for the big heave and gets stumped on the second ball of the last over. All he needed to do was stay there in the crease and come tomorrow to try and get the 29 runs. 

 

5:29 PM

India vs England 1st Test Day 4 Live Score: 200 up for IND

 

Over Summary: 0 L1 0 1 L1 0; India 201-9 after 69 overs

Jasprit Bumrah (6), Mohammed Siraj (12); Mark Wood 8-1-15-0

 

Mark Wood is into the attack which means that only one over could be bowled today unless umpires allow one more. Will England win in that one over? Mark Wood hits stumps with his football skills. But seems like the Indian batters have made the crease. 

 

Yes, they have. Brilliant fielding from Wood in his followthrough. A single would get the target down to 30 runs now. More importantly, it is just three minutes remaining to 5:30. A big inside edge saves Bumrah. Ans Bumrah watches the last ball from Root and we shall now have the last over. 

 

5:24 PM

India vs England 1st Test Day 4 Live: 32 more needed for the win

 

Over Summary: 4 0 0 N 2 1 0; India 199-9 after 68 overs

Jasprit Bumrah (5), Mohammed Siraj (12); Tom Hartley 26-5-62-6

 

Siraj hits a four and then there is a huge appeal for a stumping, but it seems like the foot was grounded. And not out it is. 36 runs are needed now. Oh, a no-ball to add to the drama here. 

 

Bumrah and Siraj run two more as only eight minutes remaining in the extra half an hour in the day. Make it another single and we are down to 32 runs now as the partnership for the 10th wicket is now 22 runs strong.

Jasprit Bumrah (2), Mohammed Siraj (5); Rehan Ahmed 5-0-31-0

 

Rehan Ahmed comes into the attack and Siraj is playing every shot possible. There are run-out opportunities aplenty and it gives India no runs at all. On the next ball though he gets a four and then two more on the very next ball. India now needs 42 more to win. 

 

5:09 PM

India vs England 1st Test Live: Just one wicket away

5:05 PM

India vs England 1st Test Live: Hartley has Ashwin

Ashwin, who did not go outside his crease even once during his partnership with Bharat, suddenly went down the ground after England exercised the power to play half an hour extra. He got stumped and India is now nine down. 

5:02 PM

India vs England 1st Test Live: India surviving

 

Over Summary: 0 0 0 0 1 0; India 176-8 after 63 overs

Ravichandran Ashwin (28), Jasprit Bumrah (0); Joe Root 19-3-41-1

 

Everything changes with a wicket as even Ashiwn looks in trouble against Root. But both he and Bumrah survive as the last over of the day comes up. 

 

5:00 PM

India vs England 1st Test Live: Hartley gets Bharat, India eight down

 

Over Summary: 0 2 0 0 1 W; India 176-8 after 62 overs

KS Bharat (28), Ravichandran Ashwin (24); Tom Hartley 23-5-48-5

 

And it is Hartley from the other end to make sure that he would be bowling the last over of the day if that becomes the last over that is. There is an edge and it goes to the vacant second slip area and Ashwin picks up two.

 

Another single that means that when Ashwin and Bharaty joined hands, India needed 112 to win and now they need just 55, so they have scored more than half the runs. 

 

And what do we have? Tom Hartley bowls a delivery that could have deceived anyone. 

 

4:51 PM

India vs England 1st Test Live: Leach brought back

 

Over Summary: wd 1 0 0 2 4 1; India 173-7 after 61 overs

KS Bharat (28), Ravichandran Ashwin (24); Jack Leach 10-1-33-1

 

After Joe Root, it is now Jack Leach who has been brought back into the attack and the umpire gives his first bowl as wide because it turned way too much to go out of the pitch and India now needs just 65 more to win the partnership increases to 47. 

 

Two more runs and make it four more runs as the 50-partnership between Ashwin and Bharat. All the gaps in the field are now visible. Nine runs from the over. England would have liked to have a maiden here and give these nine runs in the remaining three overs of the day possible. 

 

4:46 PM

India vs England 1st Test Live: Root brought back

 

Over Summary: 1 0 1 1 0 0; India 164-7 after 60 overs

KS Bharat (27), Ravichandran Ashwin (17); Joe Root 18-3-40-1
