India vs England 4th Test

Session 1 Report

Dhruv Jurel was brilliant throughout the first session of play as he reached his maiden international Test fifty and was lurking near a hundred before being cleaned up by Tom Hartley on 90. India starting at an overnight score of 219/7, added 34 more for the eighth wicket to make it a 76-run partnership before James Anderson got Kuldeep played on. Jurel continued to attack the English bowlers as he found an able partner in Akash Deep and added 40 for the ninth wicket before the latter became Shoab Bashir's fifth scalp as the Englishman reached his maiden five-wicket haul in his First-Class career.

A total of 88 runs were added in the first session during 30.2 overs of play with three wickets falling.

Session 2 Report

England started their second innings in the second session and lost two quick wickets as Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope were dismissed by Ravichandran Ashwin in back-to-back deliveries. However, Joe Root got together with Crawley to put on 46 for the third wicket before he played around one ball from Ashwin and was adjudged out leg before wicket. Three wickets down, Jonny Bairstow and Crawley added 45 for the fourth one. But after reaching his 13th Test fifty, Crawley played a length ball from Kuldeep on the backfoot and it crashed through his defences to give India their fourth wicket.

Kuldeep then bowled a delivery that kept very low, hit Stokes' pad and then rolled onto the stumps to give India their fifth breakthrough. Both the England captain and vice-captain Stokes and Pope respectively, failed big time in this Test. A total of 120 runs were scored in 32 overs in this session at the loss of five wickets, India won only their second session of the match as the English still lead 4-2 in the session battle after the end of 8 of them in Ranchi.

Earlier India needed a miracle to stage a comeback with Jurel and Kuldeep at the crease. They have already taken the partnership past fifty runs .

After bundling out England for 353 runs in the first inning, Team India was reduced to 219-7 at stumps on Day 2, still trailing by 134 runs.

India resumed with Kuldeep (17) and Jurel (30) at the crease. English off-spinner Shoaib Bashir was England's chief destructor with four wickets on Day 2. India will be hoping to touch at least the 300-run mark, but the batting prowess of the lower order has not been encouraging.

India vs England Live Score, 4th Test Day 3: Ashiwn gets five-for, England all-out

The resistance of Ben Foakles is finally broken as he was unable to pick the carrom ball which behaved like a leg spinner and played it with the turn towards the leg side, gout the edge and it flew back to the bowler and the catch was taken easily by Ashwin to claim his fourth wicket.

That would be a five-wicket haul for Ravichandran Ashwin as Anderson goes for the reverse sweep, and doesn’t get the bat on the ball. The ball, after hitting the thigh pads, gets reflected and hits the bat in its followthrough and is caught brilliantly by Dhruv Jurel behind the stumps. Ashwin got the first three and the last two wickets.

Over Summary: 0 0 0 0 0 1; England 144/8 after 52 overs

Ben Foakes (15), Shoaib Bashir (1); Ravichandran Ashwin 15-0-51-3

The pattern is finally broken but Foakes would remain at the crease. There was an appeal for LBW on the fifth ball as Foakes reverse-swept and could not get enough bat on the ball. The on-field umpire gave it out and Foakes reviewed it immediately. There was a bat involved and he survived and took a single off the last ball.
