IND vs ENG 4th Test Highlights: Haseeb Hameed (43*) and Rory Burns (31*) remained unbeaten as England ended the day at 77/0 after 32 overs. They still need 291 runs more to win the Oval Test.
India vs England Highlights 4th Test Day 4: England ended Day 4 at 77/0 after being set a target of 368. Openers Haseeb Hameed (43*) and Rory Burns (31*) batted extremely well to play out overs without losing their wickets. An exciting day awaits us on Monday. Following fireworks from Jasprit Bumrah (24) and Umesh Yadav (25), India set England a target of 368 after being dismissed for 466. Rishabh Pant and Shardul Thakur forged a partnership of 100 runs, with both scoring half-centuries. Thakur scored the second fifty of the match, while Pant notched up his maiden half-century of the series. However, England struck in quick succession to dismiss both the set batsmen. Moeen Ali got the big wicket of Virat Kohli as England dominated the first session. The first 40 minutes of the first hour belonged to India but the last 20 belonged to England as Chris Woakes sent Ravindra Jadeja (17) and Ajinkya Rahane (0) packing in successive overs....Read More
Interesting time for this tweet to pop up
Stay tuned, we will be back soon
Right, then! The first session belonged to England and they got what they would have planned to; three big wickets. India are 230 ahead but only have the last recognized pair out in the middle. Lots to play for. We will be back soon!
LUNCH- DAY 1
India end the session at 329/6 after 118 overs, and they lead by 230 runs.
Thakur thumps Overton for a beautiful four with a straight drive.
He remains unbeaten on 11, while a cautious Pant walks back unbeaten for a 41-ball 16
Shardul Walks in
Shardul Thakur, India's hero with the bat in the first innings, joins Rishabh Pant
KOHLI GONE
OUT! Moeen Ali gets the better of Virat Kohli for the sixth time in Tests. Draws the outside edge and he is caught at first slip by Overton.
He is gone for 44
SIX
FOUR OVERTHROWS! And Rishabh Pant has six! Pant dances down the track and bunted the ball to mid-wicket. Kohli, running to danger end, managed to squeeze in a double. England concede 4 overthrows. Kohli is ecstatic
Kohli into the 40s
FOUR! SOO MUCH “OOOMPH” IN THAT COVER DRIVE FROM KOHLI! Punishes Overton for pitching it full slightly outside off. Kohli leans into the drive and creams the ball through covers.
With that shift, he has also crossed 1000 runs in England, at anaverage of 35.8.
IND 304-5 after 109 overs, leady by 205 runs
INDIA'S LEAD CROSSES 200
Pant dabs the ball to mid-off and the duo run a quick single as India's lead breaches the 200-run mark.
IND 299/5, 108 overs.
Overton introduced and almost gets Kohli
JUST SHORT! And he strikes almost immediately! Kohli nicks the ball but once again, it fails to carry to Joe Root at 1st slip
IND 298-5 after 107 overs, lead by 199 runs.
PANT IS THE NEW MAN IN
Rishabh Pant is the new man in. He is off the mark right away byt collecting a double through the third-man region
RAHANE IS GONE, WOAKES STRIKES AGAIN
OUT! Woakes strikes twice in two overs. Rahane is trapped LBW for an 8-ball duck.
What a gem of cricketer Woakes is for English cricket. Root, in desperation for a breakthrough, turned to Woakes and his all-rounder did not disappoint. After removing Jadeja, he outfoxed Rahane, whose poor patch continues. He wanted to review but Kohli told him it was out and they decided against it.
Players take drinks
IND 296/5, 103.4 overs, lead by 197 runs
FASCINATING PASSAGE OF PLAY COMING UP
A crucial passage of play coming up for India. Woakes is surely pumped and if England can take two or three more, especially in the first session, they know they would have a shot at bowling India out quickly.
NOT OUT…RAHANE SURVIVES
SCRATCH THAT! Rahane survives as ball-tracking shows that the ball was going to miss the stumps. What an over from Woakes. What a change in attack. What a cricketer Woakes is!
An exciting over comes to an end!
IND 296/4, 102 overs, lead by 197 runs
OUT
RAHANE SHOULDERS ARMS A WOAKES' DELIVERY BUT THE BALL JAGS BACK IN SHARPLY. England go up and he is given out. Rahane reviews and sicne there is no shot offered, they will only look at ball tracking
WOAKES STRIKES! JADEJA GONE
OUT! THE BOWLING CHANGE WORKS STRAIGHT AWAY! A huge shout for LBW and Jadeja has been given out.
Jadeja reviews it just in time. Pitches on length and nips back in ever so much. Ball tracking shoes the ball was going to ram into the off-stump.
Jadeja has to go for 17(59)
IND 296/4, 101.2 overs, lead by 197 runs
Chris Woakes introduced
Change in attack. Chris Woakes introduced for the first time today.
SAFE…FOUR
JUST SHORT OF BURNS and the crowd applauds! Robinson gets Kohli to edge the ball but it dies down on its way to the slip cordon. Bounces just in front of Burns.
FOUR! TALK ABOUT A RESPONSE! THAT IS DELICIOUS! Ollie goes full and Kohli, with a full flourish of the bat, produces a gorgeous off-drive and the ball races past mid-off for four. No need to run for shots like these!
IND 296-3 after 101 overs, lead by 197 runs
Kohli's 71st International century loading?
WHAT A SHOT
FOUR! THAT IS MORE THAN A SHOT! THAT'S A STATEMENT FROM KOHLI! There is a cover drive and then there is Kohli's powerful cover drive. A rank half-volley from Anderson. Kohli leans forward, goes down on one knee and creams the ball through covers for four!
IND 291 for 3 after 100 overs, lead by 192 runs
ANOTHER THREE- 50-RUN STAND
IND 287/3 after 99 overs, lead by 188 runsANOTHER THREE! Another triple run by the duo of Kohli and Jadeja. Robinson pitches the ball outside off and Kohli gently opens the face of the bat and guides the ball to third man. The fielders clean it but the duo runs three.
FOUR! A good over for India, the best of the day so far. Robinson strays leg side to Jadeja, who flicks the ball off his pads for four to the fine leg region.
50-RUN STAND UP BETWEEN THE TWO BATSMEN!
IND 287/3 after 99 overs, lead by 188 runs
So far, so good
After the first half an hour, India have added 10 runs from their overnight score without losing any wicket. In the previous over, an awkward short ball from Anderson hit Jadeja's arm. Thankfully for Indian fans, no damage was done
CLOSE
BEATS THE OUTSIDE EDGE! Robinson, coming in from over the wicket to the left-hander, angles the ball away and Jadeja pokes at it dangerously.
IND 277/3 after 95 overs, lead by 178 runs
Anderson from the other end
THREE! James Anderson drags one to Kohli's pads and flicks the ball through deep mid-wicket and the batsmen run three.
IND 275/3 after 94 overs, lead by 176 runs
