Day 4 Summary
After taking two quick wickets in the morning session, India were pushed to the corner by a brisk partnership by Harry Brook and Joe Root.

England went to Tea at a favourable position at 317/4. Nevertheless, India scripted a comeback by removing Jacob Bethell and Joe Root in quick succession.
