STUMPS on Day 4: India 52/1, need another 157 to win

Pujara finishes the day high on confidence. He sends the last two balls of the day to the boundary as India finish the day on 52/1. Not a bad start to the innings at all. Surely, it would have been better had they not lost KL Rahul, but still a pretty good position to be in. Right then, onto Day 5, and with the position India are on, their fans would be hoping for another rain-less day tomorrow. We'll return on Sunday. Can India cap off a memorable win? We shall find out. Until then, CIAO!

Aug 7, 2021, 23:26:30 IST

Broad to Pujara: FOUR

That's a good start, something Pujara wanted. He's faced a few really good deliveries, getting beaten by Ollie Robinson's extra bounce. On his pads and Pujara flicks it for four towards mid-wicket. That would settle some nerves.

Aug 7, 2021, 23:25:18 IST

Final six minutes remain in the day

After 209, that is the figure on the Indian cricket team's mind. Just six minutes left in the day. If another wicket goes down, that surely is the end of the day, but if you're an Indian fan, that's not what you'd want. We know it.

Aug 7, 2021, 23:17:49 IST

GONE! Broad gets Rahul

OUT! Edged and taken. England have struck timely as India lose KL Rahul for 26. A little extra bounce and that does Rahul in. He was playing so well. England would breathe a lot better with that wicket. India 34/1.

Aug 7, 2021, 23:11:11 IST

Streaky, but Rahul collects his 6th boundary

In two minds there, KL Rahul. Couldn't decider whether to leave it on play at it. In the end, he tries to get the bat away but the ball hits it and once again, goes towards that third-man region. India 33/0 after 10 overs. All seven boundaries have come off the bat of KL Rahul, he moves to 26.

Aug 7, 2021, 23:08:05 IST

FOUR! Rahul growing in confidence

That's another drive and it results in another boundary from KL Rahul. Anderson offers width and the length for Rahul to lean into the cover drive and into the ropes she goes. India 28/0 after nine overs and you have to believe, this has been a good start from the two openers.

Aug 7, 2021, 23:04:26 IST

It's raining somewhere in Nottingham

Some not so promising visuals here. The broadcaster shows the nearby areas in Nottingham getting lashed with rain. But thankfully, it has stayed away from Trent Bridge so far. Suddenly, the light has gotten a lot better and it's a lot brighter at the venue. 13 overs still left but we doubt we'll get the whole of it.

Aug 7, 2021, 22:53:43 IST

FOUR more: Two in the over

If the last four was slightly streaky, this one was as clean as they come. Broad pitches it full and Rahul brings out the off drive. Four boundaries to him as India reach 19/0 after 6 overs.

Aug 7, 2021, 22:52:08 IST

Runs down to third man, FOUR of them

Another boundary towards third man off the edge. How many of those have we seen in this Test match? Rahul defends but the ball takes the outer half of the bat and runs between slips for a third four. After the previous over was a maiden bowled by Anderson, Rahul sends the second ball of the over for a boundary.

Aug 7, 2021, 22:39:35 IST

Straight down the ground, FOUR

Second four for KL Rahul. Anderson knows he bowled that one too full. Rahul takes advantage of it. Leans into the drive and send the ball past Anderson down the ground for a boundary. India 10/0 after 3 overs.

Aug 7, 2021, 22:33:30 IST

India are away: Rahul drives for FOUR

Full ball from Stuart Broad and KL Rahul brings out the cover drive to get himself and India their first boundary. Slightly overpitched and that's all Rahul need with most of the fielders inside the circle. India would want him to continue from where he left off in the first innings.

Aug 7, 2021, 22:28:19 IST

Right then, the Indian innings begin

The final innings of the Test match is about to get underway as Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul make their way to the middle. The clouds have settled in and it's gotten a lot darker at Trent Bridge. Tough, testing period awaits the Indian openers.

Aug 7, 2021, 22:15:47 IST

England all out for 303, India need 209 to win

Shami finally gets his first wicket as Ollie Robinson edges to third man. England all out for 303. India need 209 runs to win the match. Won't be a long break, so stay tuned.

Aug 7, 2021, 22:04:28 IST

WICKET! It's a five-for for Bumrah

BOWLED HIM! It's a five-wicket-haul for Jasprit Bumrah as Stuart Broad falls for a golden duck. England 295/9. He was on a hat-trick but Anderson plays it out.

Aug 7, 2021, 22:01:30 IST

Another one for Bumrah as England lose 8th wicket

OUT! Bumrah with his fourth wicket as Curran mistimes one to Siraj at mid on. Digs it in short but on Curran's waist. He tries to go after it and gets himself in an awkward tangle. The ball lobs in the air and the fielder grabs it. England 295/8, with a lead of 200.

Aug 7, 2021, 21:51:26 IST

DROPPED! Rahane puts one down

A toughie at gully. Curran tries to fend the ball but it lobs off the edge and flies to the right of Rahane at gully. He gets a hand to it but can't hang on to it.

Aug 7, 2021, 21:42:53 IST

Bumrah dismisses Root for his third wicket

OUT! Bumrah gets the wicket with the second new ball as he dismisses centurion Joe Root for 109. Big, big wicket this for India as Root pokes at the ball and is out caught behind. None the less, he walks off to a rousing applause, and well deserved. One of his finest innings. If England win this, it's the captain who has led from the front. England 274/7, lead by 179

Aug 7, 2021, 21:35:59 IST

Curran frustrates India again

Sam Curran has been more effective with the bat for England that he's been with the ball. In the first innings, he was not out on 27 and in the second, he has moved to 23 off 27 with four boundaries. A few words exchanged between him and Siraj but it's all cool. England now lead by 177.

Aug 7, 2021, 21:17:17 IST

A 100 to cherish for Joe Root

A straight drive and up go the arms in celebration. Joe Root will remember this century, his 21st his Tests. Follows his fifty in the first innings with a 100 in the second. Also, this is his first century in England in three years. More importantly, he has ensured England continue to extend the lead, which is already over 150.

Aug 7, 2021, 21:04:10 IST

India out of reviews

Another unsuccessful review from India, and they have wasted all three. Siraj appeals for an LBW against Root, who is batting on 97 but the impact was outside off. Kohli taps Siraj on his shoulders. England 244/6, lead by 149.

Aug 7, 2021, 20:56:14 IST

India strike right after tea

TIMBER! Shardul Thakur picks up his second wicket as he knocks over the Jos Buttler's stumps. England lose their sixth wicket.

Aug 7, 2021, 20:32:11 IST

Tea on Day 4

England 235/5 at tea on Day 4, lead India by 140 runs at the end of the second session. It's a session that has gone both team's way, with India picking up three wickets and England scoring 116 runs. Root is batting on 96, while Buttler is 15 not out off 20 balls. There has been no rain so far in the day, and let's hope it stays that way. With plenty of overs left, this match is likely heading towards a result.

Aug 7, 2021, 20:13:07 IST

Buttler away with couple of early boundaries

On a pair, Jos Buttler got off the mark with a flick for four. Sloppy effort by the fielder at deep square leg. Two balls later, Bumrah bowls a widish delivery outside off. Out comes the cover drive and Buttler gets himself to 8 off just 6 balls.

Aug 7, 2021, 20:06:05 IST

WICKET: Thakur gets Lawrence

OUT! Thakur with his first wicket, Lawrence out LBW. England lose a review and their 5th wicket for 211. Pitched outside off but came in and hit the batsman flush on the pads. It looked plumb right at the moment of impact. Still Lawrence went upstairs but to no avail. A review lost by England.

Aug 7, 2021, 19:52:55 IST

Now Lawrence gets in the act

Short and wide from Jadeja, and Dan Lawrence cuts it away for a four. That would help his confidence. England's lead is a 100 as their second innings total nears 200.

Aug 7, 2021, 19:31:38 IST

WICKET! Siraj strikes against the run of play

OUT! Bairstow middles it but the ball lands straight down Ravindra Jadeja's throat at deep square leg. Completely against the run of play. Right in the slot for Bairstow to hit it, and he does so. The only thing he isn't able to do is keep the ball down, or find the right placement. England 177/4.

Aug 7, 2021, 19:29:30 IST

Appeal turned down

Huge appeal by Jadeja against Bairstow, but the ball may just be missing leg. India have already lost two reviews so every referral here onward needs to be extremely well thought. Right call from the umpire. The turn not enough to hit the stumps.

Aug 7, 2021, 19:20:38 IST

Drinks on the field

One hour into the session and despite the wicket, you've got to believe it's England who are on top at the moment. Root is inching towards a century while Bairstow has started well. England lead India by 76 runs a the moment. Watch out for those skies though.

Aug 7, 2021, 19:11:37 IST

England seize control

India may have picked up the wicket but there has been no shortage or stoppage of runs since. Jonny Bairstow has begun confidently, racing away to 17 off 22 balls with three fours. Root has entered the 70s and these two have already added 22 off 34 balls.

Aug 7, 2021, 18:35:00 IST

OUT! Bumrah with the breakthrough for India

OUT! Bumrah strikes for India. An inside edge off Sibley's bat lands in Rishabh Pant's gloves. A lazy stroke from Sibley, as the ball nips back in, takes the inner edge and flies to the left of Rishabh Pant, who does well to grab on to the catch. Much needed breakthrough for India as the 89-run stand comes to an end.

Aug 7, 2021, 18:20:05 IST

Live, 1st Test, day 4: FOUR more, Root is in imperious touch

Another full ball, another cover drive and another four. Phew! He has been unstoppable with that shot. Connects another one right off the middle and gets his 11th four of the innings. He moves to 67 off just 80 balls. A century is surely here for the taking.

Aug 7, 2021, 18:16:56 IST

Bumrah to Root: FOUR

Loose! Loose from Bumrah first up as he drifts into Root's pads and the England captain would put them away every time with ease. Clips it for a four first over of the second session. England just starting to press on here.

Aug 7, 2021, 18:11:06 IST

Second session underway

It's supposed to be a long day, with 70 more overs left in the day, but it remains to be seen how many of those can we actually get? England are ahead by 24 and they would look to swell it to above 200. Bat through the day and give India the entire Day 5 maybe? Big session awaits.

Aug 7, 2021, 18:07:38 IST

Back to cricket: How good has Joe Root been today?

His start was fidgety, but the manner in which Joe Root picked things up from there was incredible. The England captain is not out in 56 off just 74 balls with nine fours. And those cover drives were just another reminder that Root is in fact part of that Fabled 'Fab 4' of batting.

Aug 7, 2021, 17:51:39 IST

ICYMI: A historic moment for Indian sports

A massive moment for India. Neeraj Chopra becomes the first individual gold medallist from the country since Abhinav Bindra' equally magnanimous feat in 2008.

Aug 7, 2021, 17:33:56 IST

End of first session

England 119/2 (& 183) at lunch, lead India (278) by 24 runs in second innings in Nottingham. It started going well for India with Siraj and Bumrah picking up two early wickets, but from there, it's been a little classy knock from the England captain Joe Root. He started unconvincingly but once those cover drives got going, he grew in confidence. A shared session with credit going to both teams.

Aug 7, 2021, 17:25:25 IST

Fifty for Joe Root

The England captain continues his fine run with a second fifty in the match. It's his 51st in Tests, and he gets there off 69 balls. Slashes at Shami as the ball goes between slips and gully for a four. England now growing in confidence at 114/2.

Aug 7, 2021, 17:12:24 IST

England in the lead

Sibley takes a single and England are in the lead, their scoring moving to 96/2. The fifty partnership is also up between Root and Sibley off 100 balls. Good partnership developing between the two. And now that the number 95 has been achieved, England should hope to bat till the end of the day and give their bowlers one whole day against India. That is of course, if there is no further rain.

Aug 7, 2021, 17:04:42 IST

Close! Sibley takes the review and survives

India's search for a third wicket continues. The umpire had declared Sibley out LBW to Thakur, but the batsman takes the review and it pays off. The ball pitched in line and the impact was also in line, but the ball tracking shows it missing the leg stump by quite some margin. Sibley survives, Root is ecstatic at the non-striker's.

Aug 7, 2021, 16:55:17 IST

Mix up but India throw at the wrong end

Run out chance missed. Not the best piece of communication between Root and Sibley. Sibley taps the ball to mid wicket and takes off. Root answers the call hesitantly but a moment of reluctance from both batsman saw Sibley stranded in the middle of the wicket. The throw needed to be at the keeper, but Siraj went the other way. There was no calling from anyone. India had the chance to get another one. Root and Sibley take a long breath.

Aug 7, 2021, 16:43:02 IST

Consecutive boundaries for Root

And the fourth off a cover drive. Once again, the England captain nails the cover drive perfectly. Similar balls, similar strokes with great timing, and Root helps himself to a couple of more boundaries. Virat Kohli is not impressed, looks at Mohammed Shami and points towards the leg-side, where the field is.

Aug 7, 2021, 16:38:46 IST

Shardul keeps it tight after drinks

India would be happy with the first hour of play. Their pacers continue to impress with probing lines and length. Despite the sun being out and conditions good for batting, Root and Sibley are battling it out against India's pacers. Both batsmen on 21, only Root has taken 28 balls (50 less than Sibley).

Aug 7, 2021, 16:29:24 IST

Shami, Thakur in the attack for India

Shami starts his first over of the day in riveting fashion, making the ball zip off the seam and beating Dom Sibley twice. Thakur gives away two as England now trail India by less than 30 runs.

Aug 7, 2021, 16:20:59 IST

Two fours in the over for Root

That's more like it. Joe Root has already moved to 17 off 18, with 16 of those runs coming in boundaries. Plays a delightful cover drive and gorgeously tucks the ball off his hips for two boundaries off Mohamed Siraj's over. Good batting conditions and rest assured, Root is not going to miss out on the loose deliveries.

Aug 7, 2021, 16:16:23 IST

Edged... but doesn't carry

Joe Root just appearing a little fidgety early on. Bumrah is teasing the England captain outside off stump and the move almost works. Draws the outside edge off Root's bat twice in the over. While on the first instance, the ball goes in between the slips for four, the next one went to Virat Kohli at first slip but on the bounce. Just falls a tad short. Nervy moments for England.

Aug 7, 2021, 16:08:10 IST

Shot! Root off the mark with a four

Outside off stump is a good line to start with against Root, but not with that length. Not when it's a wide half-volley. Easy for the England captain and he leans into the ball and caresses through the covers for four.

Aug 7, 2021, 16:01:35 IST

Crawley departs for 6

WICKET! Another success for India inside the first 30 minutes of the fourth day's play. Jasprit Bumrah strikes. Zak Crawley edges an away-moving delivery while Pant takes another dolly. England: 46/2 after 17 overs, trail by 49 runs.

Aug 7, 2021, 15:56:43 IST

Crawley goes off the mark

Zak Crawley is the new man in and he goes off the mark with a boundary. Legth ball, the batter looks to defence but gets the edge that flies through wide of gully for a boundary. ENG: 41/1 after 15.2 overs.

Aug 7, 2021, 15:54:08 IST

Siraj gets Burns

WICKET! Mohammed Siraj strikes early for India and removes Rory Burns. Lovely delivery from Siraj down the leg side and Burns edges it to the keeper Rishabh Pant. ENG: 37/1 after 15.1 overs, trail by 58 runs.

Aug 7, 2021, 15:47:33 IST

Bumrah bowls a maiden over

Great comeback from Bumrah, especially after getting hit for a boundary by Burns in his previous over. ENG: 37/0
