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!

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.

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.
