IND vs ENG Live Score: India 405/7, lead by 215 runs

India vs England Live Score, IND vs ENG 1st Test Day 4: KL Rahul has let a dolly slip. He is standing at slips and this is as straightforward a catch as they come. And the man whio has been given a second chance is Ollie Pope, who is standing there on 186. Edged off Siraj, who has got hardly anything in this Test match, it goes straight to Rahul, just dipping a bit but going only slightly lower than where the starting position of Rahul's hands were. He spills it, no other way of putting it. India seem to be crumbling at the moment. All of a sudden, their incredible home record seems to be weighing heavy on them.

India vs England Live Score, IND vs ENG 1st Test Day 4: Jadeja produced an edge off Pope off the last ball of that over but it ended up being the best possible result for the batter. It flew to the right of slip and allowed Pope to retain strike by running three. Bumrah to bowl the next and he has a cordial word with Pope before that, probably explaining why he didn't intend to come in the way earlier when the pair almost collided. Mature stuff from the two players.

IND vs ENG Live Score: India 346/7 in 84 overs

India vs England Live Score, IND vs ENG 1st Test Day 4: EDGED AND GONE! Bumrah had produced an edge off the second ball of that over but it fell just short of Rahul at slip. This time, though, it carries cleanly to Bharat. Gets him with the length delivery that reverse swings away from him. A valuable innings from 19-year-old Rehan comes to an end, what a promising prospect he is for England.

India vs England Live Score, IND vs ENG 1st Test Day 4: Third ball of Bumrah's over is short, Pope rides the bounce and sends it past gully.

India vs England Live Score, IND vs ENG 1st Test Day 4: That's a surprise, Bumrah continues from the other end with the old ball.

India vs England Live Score, IND vs ENG 1st Test Day 4: Two runs off the first ball of the 80th over and that takes this stand to 50. India do seem to be waiting for the new ball, which will be available next over.

India vs England Live Score, IND vs ENG 1st Test Day 4: Pope receives well deserved applause from the crowd in Hyderabad.

India vs England Live Score, IND vs ENG 1st Test Day 4: Judging by how recent Tests in India, and indeed Tests around the world, have gone and by the level of dominance India managed in the first two days, it looked almost certain that Day 3 would be the last of this Test. Well, England had other plans. Ollie Pope and the rest have made a one-sided contest a potential humdinger. Minutes away from resumption now.

India vs England Live Score, IND vs ENG 1st Test Day 4: England's resistance has made this match an intriguing prospect but this is not the only heavyweight contest that is turning out to be a thriller. West Indies may have lost their tag of being one of the heavyweights in Test cricket a long time ago but they are making Australia work for a win in the day-night Test at the Gabba. Australia need 156 to win with wight wickets hand at the start of Day 4.

India vs England Live Score, IND vs ENG 1st Test Day 4: That Joe Root is one of the greatest batters of his generation, if not all time, doesn't need mentioning. But the former England captain has always been a respectable value with the ball. He has 60 Test wickets to his name. In India though, it is safe to say now that Root transforms into a genuine all-rounder. Root bowled a whopping 29 overs during the Indian innings, the most by any of the England bowlers, and recorded extraordinary figures of 4/79. He has a total of 12 wickets to his name in India and an average of 23.50. Add to it the fact that Root has 981 Test runs in India at an average of 49.05 and one has to wonder, is there anyone more deserving than this to be considered among the great Test all-rounders in Indian conditions?

India vs England Live Score, IND vs ENG 1st Test Day 4: Now it wasn't just Pope and Foakes who did the damage with the bat yesterday. Rehan Ahmed came in after Foakes was dismissed and went about putting together a 41-run stand with Pope in just 62 balls. Rehan hit two fours as he scored 16 runs in 31 balls. Rehan can bat, he has an average of 31.95 in the 13 first class matches he has played and has scored four half-centuries and a century. This is an important stand for India to break early in the morning.

India vs England Live Score, IND vs ENG 1st Test Day 4: Ben Foakes is a bit of an outlier in this Bazballing England side. He has a strike rate of 50.86 in 157 first class matches but on Day 4, he showed that he can be much more than just a good wicketkeeper, which is no mean by itself it has to be said. Foakes' value as a wicketkeeper cannot be understated in India but on Day 4, he played probably as big a role as Pope or Joe Root the bowler in giving England a fighting chance in this Test. Foakes scored a patient 34 off 81 balls, rotating strike regularly and guarding one side as Pope went up and down the gears at the other end. A big partnership or a string of good partnerships are what England missed and it takes two to tango in stands. Pope was excellent but there is just no way one can look past what Foakes did on Day 4.

India vs England Live Score, IND vs ENG 1st Test Day 4: Pope currently stands unbeaten on 148 off 208 balls. This is the highest by a visiting batter in India against India since former England captain Alastair Cook's 176 in Ahmedabad in 2012. That innings, and a number of other great ones from Cook and Kevin Pietersen, came in what was India's last Test series defeat at home. They couldn't, could they?

India vs England Live Score, IND vs ENG 1st Test Day 4: India bowling coach Paras Mhambrey said that it becomes challenging for any bowling side when a batters starts playing the way Ollie Pope did on Day 3. Someone like Pope who played, he accessed the square, fine leg area as well and the sweep and the reverse sweep and he played it consistently. Credit must go to him. They really played well, took on the attack at the stage where it was needed and sometimes that happens. Someone who plays some shots like these consistently does get the bowlers under pressure in terms of variation in the lines. Credit goes to him," Mhambrey said.

"But as I said, we still have to be patient with the lines, still hit the right areas and hope to get a wicket. Hope to get an edge or something or the other. That can happen. But I think the credit goes to him the way he played," he added.

India vs England Live Score, IND vs ENG 1st Test Day 4: Bowling coach Paras Mhambrey said after the third day's play that India are not looking at any total as a good one to chase. The one thing that they are keeping as a clear target for Day 4 is early wickets. "We are not looking at any particular target (to chase) as I said the objective is to come tomorrow morning and get early wickets and limit their total. We are not putting any pressure on ourselves by setting any targets. We just want to bowl in the right areas to extract turn and bounce from the wicket," Mhambrey said in his post-day press conference.

India vs England Live Score, IND vs ENG 1st Test Day 4: That is how Root sees it. He was one of the two batters that Bumrah dismissed in his red-hot spell yesterday. Root himself got Bumrah's wicket as part of his 4-fer earlier in the day of course. "So, 1-0 to him, although 1-1 actually as I got him out earlier. I'm sure that this battle will continue throughout the series," he said.
