Young Dhruv Jurel led India to victory by five wickets in the fourth Test of the five-match series at a spin-friendly Jharkhand State Cricket Association (JSCA) Stadium in Ranchi on Monday, Februray 26. 

Needing 74 more to win after Lunch, India was in a spot of bother as they lost Ravindra Jadeja and Sarfaraz Khan on consecutive deliveries of Shoaib Bashir. However, Jurel, India's saviour in the first innings where he had scored a brilliant 90, managed to stick together with a well-set Shubman Gill as they added an unbeaten 72 for the sixth wicket to guide the home team to victory. Courtesy of this win, India took an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series before the final game in Dharamsala. 

Gill completed his fifty as he remained unbeaten on 52 while Jurel managed 39 as India scored 74 in the session at the loss of two wickets in only 23 overs to win the session and match. 

India vs England 4th Test, Day 4

Session 1 Report

India looked amazing at the start of the first session on Day 4 as they added 45 runs to their overnight score of 40 before Joe Root was brought into the attack by Ben Stokes to give England their first breakthrough. Yashasvi Jaiswal was caught brilliantly by James Anderson at backward point. Rohit Sharma reached his fifty and then against the run play, went down the ground and got stumped by Ben Foakes off Tom Hartley. Rajat Patidar's horrid show with the bat continued as he was out for a duck yet again. He became Shoaib Bashir's first wicket in the second innings. 

Jadeja then joined Gill and the duo weathered the storm by the English spin to take India to Lunch at 118/3, needing 74 more to win the match. A total of 78 runs were scored in this session of 29 overs at the loss of three wickets and the session was shared by the two teams as England remained ahead in the session battle, leading it 4-3 after the end of 10 sessions.

Earlier India were 40-0 at stumps on Day 3 and started day 4 at advantageous position.

Joe Root is into the attack to try and get the wickets here. The target for India in Hyderabad was also only 231, but it was beyond 200 and that’s what built the pressure right from the start. Even after having India five down for 120, England has just let the game slip here because they lacked the belief that they could win. There are no close-in fielders at all.

Shubman Gill (33), Dhruv Jaurel (21); Tom Hartley 20-1-58-1
 
50 overs have been bowled and it seems like this 35-run partnership has sucked the energy out of the English team. They are no more excited and it is game done until and unless they take a wicket in the next two overs.
