Holy cow! I guess the Indians now have a shot here, they only need one good knock and they should be fine.

Still, this is a tricky target on a challenging pitch and the remaining 20-30 minutes of the period would be very challenging for batters, no batter enjoys batting towards the end of any session.

Hope, this period goes wicketless for India.

Jurel-Kuldeep partnership sealed the deal for India if you ask me. I expected England to collapse in the second innings thanks to the fab trio(KD, Ash, Jaddu) and that's exactly what happened.

Root was a bit unlucky though since the actual decision was 50:50. India pretty much won the series already with a test remaining.

India took control in the second innings. Indian spinner bowlers are bowling brilliantly. Ravichandran Ashwin took three wickets in the second innings of England's top order batsmen. Kuldeep Yadav destroyed the middle order batsmen. Kuldeep Yadav has taken four wickets so far. England took 139 runs for 8 wickets. Zak Crawley scored 66 in the second innings.12 more overs will be played today, it is becoming very difficult for England to survive two wickets at this moment. I think England can't take a lead of more than 220-230 runs.

England batted well in the first innings but could not bat well in the second innings. England scored 353 runs in the first innings but were all out for just 145 runs in the second innings. In the second innings the spinner bowlers of India performed brilliantly and all the wickets were taken by the spinner bowlers. India scored 40 runs without losing a wicket at the end of the third day in the second innings. We will see the result of this test match tomorrow. India need 152 runs to win which they can easily win.

Spinners have done the job for India, 5 wickets for Ashwin and 4 for Kuldeep. India need 152 more runs on day 4 of this test to clinch the series. England have done so good in first innings and a poor batting show in second innings. England should have score 250 in second innings to try there luck in bowling but with such a low target it will be difficult to save the match. Both Indian openers are steady in run chase and are at the crease on stumps.

After seeing England's first innings, it seemed that England might return to their performance in this fourth test, but as England were bowled out for 145 runs in the second innings, I completely changed that idea.
Kuldeep Yadav, Ravichandan Ashwin, and Ravindra Jadeja's spin bowled the England squad for 145 runs. At the end of today's third day's play, India needs to collect 152 runs to win, which is not a difficult target for India, but India will also win the fourth Test at a relaxed pace.

The way game is moving, once India starts to bat, I'm sure England is going to get early breakthroughs and we may feel that England is going to win the game and then Indian tail enders come to the crease and India wins the game lol

And another 4 day test.

The first day of India vs England match 4th day coming to an end. Today many things happened first the Indian team lost their all wickets of the main players and then bowlers and new people came to play but they also could not do anything, so the team was out then hero bowlers came and what type of play they did like a T20 match. They picked all the wickets of England's batsmen by giving a wonderful performance.

For the England team, it will be good if they do not allow to Indian batsmen to make runs and they need to take their wickets but if they cannot take wickets so no problem but then they should play like Indian batsmen cannot make runs, and at the same time, focus on wickets taking tomorrow. India has a higher chances of winning in this test match. The England team collapsed on 145 runs and that was the real turning point of this match.

This match is swinging like a pendulum. Both teams are throwing punches, fighting back, and keep coming back into the game and right now India are doing its own thing.

Now I'd say it's 50-50 for both teams. Extra 30-40 runs from here could potentially put England slightly ahead in the race as 220 + target won't be an easy task in the 4th inning. India would hope for one of the guys from the top 3 to dig in.

An experienced batsman like Ben Foakes is still at the crease. He is playing very carefully. Perhaps the England team wants to set a target of over 200 anyway.

Ben Foakes is at the crease with 17 runs off 74 balls. Shoaib Bashir collects 1 run off 20 balls. Their main aim is to stay at the crease. The pitch condition looks like it has become completely spin friendly. Playing big shots on this pitch against spin bowlers is very risky. So Bashir and Foakes are batting very carefully. The England team managed to take a lead of 190 runs. And if they can score 20-30 runs, they can give India a descent target.

England lost their eighth batsman for 133 runs. The team has no chance of big collection. And before 150 maybe they will lose the wicket of the remaining two batsmen.

After performing so well in the first innings, I never thought that England would do so badly in the second innings. My estimate was that England would score at least 200 runs, and set a descent target of 250. But they will probably fail to do that either. England's batsmen are unable to survive at the crease against Kuldeep Yadav and Ashwin. Kuldeep Yadav took 4 wickets and Ashwin 3 wickets. Kuldeep took 4 wickets in just 10 overs. The Indian captain is using only his spin bowlers in the second innings.

Out of the 8 wickets, Kuldeep took 4 wickets and hopefully, he might get more wickets. The pitch looks good for spin bowling and after watching the English spinners doing well the Indian spin attack knew that they would get wickets. I did not expect them to get wickets so fast, especially from Kuldeep Yadav. The lead is still not above 200 runs and now the tail is batting. I do not think they would be able to get more runs as they would now try to safe their wickets and try to bat till the end of day 3.

Zak Crawley is batting responsibly. Although the top order batsmen Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope and Joe Root did not play well in the second innings, Crawley is batting very well. Zak Crawley is unbeaten with 57 runs from 81 balls.

I expected better batting from Pope and Root. But Pope failed to collect any runs and Root collected only 11 runs. Now at the crease are Crawley and Bairstwo. These two batsmen are very experienced. Bairstwo scored 23 runs. At the end of 26 overs, the England team managed to collect 107 runs. Ravichandran Ashwin took three wickets today. Spinners are getting advantage on this pitch. It will not be easy for England to collect big.

In the first innings, with the help of Joe Root, the England team is batting badly in the second innings. It seems that England is going to lose this match like the previous two matches.

Losing 6 wickets England team managed to collect only 120 runs. Ben Foakes and Hartley are batting now. If this pair doesn't play well, I guess England team will give a target of less than 200. Ben Foakes must bat well today. If the target is around 250 then there is a chance for England to win this match. But if the target is less than 200, England will definitely be defeated. England is now leading by 166 runs.

Again a good come back from India. The spin attack is destroying any chance of England giving a big lead. 7 wickets are gone now the tail enders are batting. I think Rohit and his team would be interested in getting a lead below 200 runs. Looking at the condition of the pitch the Indian batting won't last again the English spin duo as they did in the first innings.

Crawley gone after scoring 60 runs he was looking dangerous for the Indian team. Ben Stokes came to the pitch for few minutes and got out after scoring only 4 runs. Both wickets were taken by Kuldeep and he can get a few more today. England have lost 5 wickets and have a small lead of 166 runs. This game is again shifting towards India with these two wicket falling in quich succession. Bairstow is still batting and is batting well against the Indian spin attack.

India in excellent position in second innings, thanks to Indian spinners who got 4 quick wickets. England need someone to stay on the pitch and create a partnership of at least 100 runs otherwise game will slip away from there hands. Only 3 overs are bowled by Indian pacer in second rest of all overs are from spinners. Ashwin got 3 quick wickets and when Zak Crawley was well set and looking dangerous he was eliminated by Kuldeep Yadav. By stumps we will get good picture of who will win this game.

In the fourth test match day 3 India All out 307 runs in the first inning of the match. From India Dhruv Jurel played an impressive inning of 90 runs andunfortunately, missed his well-deserved century by 10 runs short. England's current score is 109 runs in a loss of 3 wickets. Now England lead by 155 runs at the second session of the day. England had three batters out very early in the second inning Crawley and Jony Bairstow both England batters played so well and made a good partnership. Crawley scored a decent fifty now playing at 59 runs Not out and Bairstow is playing at 24 not out. Ravichandran Ashwin spinner of the Indian team performed very well all three picked up 3 important wickets by giving 48 runs. India will need to break this partnership to restrict England team to under 300 runs.

Bairstow is batting well in the second innings he was looking good in the first innings until he got lbw by Ashwin. Another good knock by Crawley and this time he got his half century. Ashwin was good enough to take 3 wickets after lunch which helped India in stopping those runs. At present the England team has a lead of 153 runs they will be trying to add another 250 runs to take the lead to 400 runs.

What an inning from Dhruv Jurel and surprisingly good on our tailender for sticking at the crease. Things could've been worse for India.

The deficit is 46 and the match is still in favor of England by 65-35 because India are batting last but now they have a fighting chance and both bowling and batting departments will get another shot.

Maiden 5-for for Bashir and it came at a very crucial time, props to him.

Superb knock under pressure from Jurel and most importantly he scored runs when India required them badly. Overall its a good batting from Indian side, they have given away just a lead of 46 runs. Most of wickets are picked up by spinners so far and England need to be careful against Jadeja and Ashwin in second innings. England need to score 350 runs in second innings to take target to 46.

In the four test matches, England's performance again went to good after losing 2 matches by India back to back but still, England has a very good chance to win this test series if they win the remaining two matches.
In this series, Virat Kohli is part of this test series but due to personal issues he cannot play it, and the last 3 matches we don't have seen him but at the same time we saw Rohit Sharma and Jaiswal century. From the Indian team, at this time, only Jaiswal playing well and the whole team depended on him because Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill both had a competition that who would perform poor.
