ENG vs IND, 4th Test Live Cricket Score Updates: India take 2-1 series lead! A memorable bowling performance from India, taking 10 wickets in two sessions and a few more overs on Day 5, on a pitch that didn’t have any real demons. This team is amazing. This bowling attack is beyond world class. Nothing is impossible for these guys. Day 4 report: Rory Burns and Haseeb Hameed held firm on Sunday to give England hope of a record-breaking win in the fourth Test against India at the Oval. England were 77-0 at the close of the fourth day, needing a further 291 runs to reach a daunting target of 368 after India had piled up 466 in their second innings, with Rishabh Pant and Shardul Thakur sharing a stand of exactly 100. But left-hander Burns was 31 not out on his Surrey home ground and fellow opener Hameed 43 not out to set up a tantalising finish, with this five-match series already intriguingly poised at 1-1. India have again omitted off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, a bowler with 413 Test wickets to his credit but yet to feature this series, on an Oval pitch renowned for taking turn late in the game. Left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja bowled tidily but without success in a spell of 0-28 in 13 overs. “It’s poised to be an excellent game, I thought the boys batted excellently tonight,” England all-rounder Moeen Ali told Sky Sports. “Jadeja is going to be the biggest threat.” Meanwhile India batting coach Vikram Rathour told reporters: “Jadeja will play a massive role tomorrow…He’s bowled really well today, with a lot of control and did create opportunities. Tomorrow, with a little bit of luck, I think those opportunities will turn into wickets.” And the odds are still in the tourists’ favour.

AP[/caption] The most England have made more to win in the fourth innings of a Test is 362-9, requiring 359, against Australia at Headingley in 2019. But Ben Stokes, whose unbeaten century saw England to that thrilling one-wicket win two years ago, is not playing in this series while the all-rounder takes a mental health break from all cricket. When India captain Virat Kohli was caught at slip off spinner Moeen for 44 - his 21st successive Test innings without a hundred – India had a healthy but not unassailable lead of 213 runs. Pant (50) and Thakur (60), however, shared a partnership of 100 in just 155 balls. For Thakur, fit following a hamstring injury that had kept him out since the drawn first Test in Nottingham, it was his second fifty of the match following his 57 in India’s first-innings 191. Even James Anderson, Test cricket’s most successful fast bowler, was made to look every one of his 39 years when Thakur hoisted him through deep midwicket, with the ball no longer deviating in the air or off the pitch. England’s plight was summed up when, with India 376-6, Pant was sent back by Thakur after going for a needlessly risky single on 37 only for Moeen to miss with a shy at the stumps from midwicket while Hameed, who fumbled the return, also failed to run him out. Thakur’s third fifty in four Tests came in just 65 balls, including five fours and a superb straight six off seamer Ollie Robinson. England captain Joe Root eventually had Thakur edging his occasional off-spin to Craig Overton at slip before Pant, batting responsibly after repeatedly giving his wicket away this series, was caught and bowled by Moeen.

 "ENG vs IND, 4th Test Day 5 Highlights: India beat England by 157 runs, take 2-1 series lead")
Rohit Sharma:
“Wanted to be on the field but getting that hundred was special. It was a great effort from batting unit. We just kept our head down and batted the situation. I don’t think too much about that (lack of overseas hundred). It’s important to embrace the challenge, back in Durham we had time off to look at our training and technique, after WTC we had 20-25 days and that was a game-changer.”
He expects to be fit for the final Test.
Joe Root:
“Frustrating not to get something out of the game. Credit to India for making the ball to reverse, outstanding bowling by Bumrah. We got to be more ruthless as the team, to be clinical, not be comfy, make big partnerships. We have played good cricket and important to remember that. Injuries have been frustrating, but those guys that have had the opportunity have been excellent.”
Special, special win!
Congratulations India, a stunning win by over 150 runs on English soil after being nearly 100 runs down halfway through the match. The possibility of beating Australia then England on their own grounds in quick succession looms large.

India were bowled out for 191 in the first innings and England took a 99-run lead, but as it’s the case nowadays with this team, it’s never over till it’s over. Rohit Sharma’s brilliance, Chetshwar Pujara’s useful knock and vital lower-order contributions from Rishabh Pant and Shardul Thakur helped India set an imposing target of 368.
England made a good start with a 100-run opening partnership and at one stage it looked like they could go for a win, but somehow, on a not so responsive pitch, Indian bowlers kept taking regular wickets and that Jasprit Bumrah incredible spell in the middle where he cleaned up Ollie Pope and Jonny Bairstow set the tone as visitors eventually clinched a 157-run win.
Stunning bowling performance!
The drama at Lord's aside, this is an even more impressive win. There was nothing freakish about it. From back-to-wall on the first day, India fought clawed back session after session capping with a stunning bowling performance #INDvENG

India beat England by 157 runs!
REVIEW AND OUT!
Anderson given out caught behind trying to play a short ball. Indian players were ecstatic, however, Anderson reviewed immediately but there is a faint edge. India win!
After 92 overs,England 210/9 ( Ollie Robinson 10 , James Anderson 2)
Bumrah to Robinson. First ball is full and Robinson blocks it. Next one is short and he ducks under it. Short ball is going to be a regulation now. It’s a maiden.
After 91 overs,England 210/9 ( Ollie Robinson 10 , James Anderson 2)
Umesh bowls. Such is the excitement now that you feel every ball will get a wicket. Robinson and Anderson are fighting to frustrate India. A boundary for Robinson as he straight bats a length ball. Single on the last ball as Robinson fails to execute the pull shot and ball falls ahead of Pant. Not sure if there’s was an edge.
After 90 overs,England 205/9 ( Ollie Robinson 5 , James Anderson 2)
Bumrah to Anderson. We all remember that 10-ball over from Lord’s that was loaded with short stuff. Bumrah starts with another bouncer but Anderson manages to play this safely. The next one is an inswinging yorker and Anderson keeps it out to square leg for a single. Four dot balls to Robinson.
After 89 overs,England 203/9 ( Ollie Robinson 4 , James Anderson 1)
Umesh starts off with a dot and then India decide to take the new ball. It takes Umesh fours balls to take the first wicket with the hard red cherry. Overton gets beaten for pace from length. He was trying to work it on the leg but the ball beat his bat, hit the arm and broke the stumps. Overton is in a lot of pain. Anderson survives the last ball.
OUT!
Craig Overton b Umesh Yadav 10(29)
The fast length ball squares up Overton and hits his back arm before breaking the stumps. The hard new ball gets India an immediate wicket. Overton looks in some serious pain.
After 88 overs,England 202/8 ( Craig Overton 10 , Ollie Robinson 4)
With India still going with the old ball, Jadeja is always an option and now he has been called back into the attack. It’s a maiden.
After 87 overs,England 202/8 ( Craig Overton 10 , Ollie Robinson 4)
Umesh continues. Five dot balls first which were a mix of length ball, a bouncer that Overton ducked under, a slower ball that took an edge but fell before slip fielder. The last ball goes for a four, another edge and this evades slip cordon.
After 86 overs,England 198/8 ( Craig Overton 6 , Ollie Robinson 4)
Bumrah from the other end. Fuller delivery onto pads and Overton clips it to midwicket for a single. Five dot balls in the over after this which also included a bouncer which Robinson evaded.
After 85 overs, ENG 198/8
Umesh completes the five deliveries of his over after tea. The first ball was Woakes wicket before tea. Three dot balls afte tea and then Robinson gets a boundary with a cut past backward point. The last ball is short and Robinson evades.
Tea!
A match-turning session. Bumrah, Jadeja, Shardul and Umesh picked up wickets to dismantle England. It’s just a matter of time now. India need just two more wickets to win the Oval Test and take a lead in the series. We’ll be back soon.
Umesh Yadav strikes!
Bowls on the pads, Woakes flicks but there’s a fielder at short midwicket. Rahul takes a good low catch. Players are off the field because it’s tea time. Woakes c Rahul b Umesh Yadav
After 84 overs,England 193/7 ( Chris Woakes 18 , Craig Overton 5)
Bumrah goes short against Overton, the batsman brings the bat up to defend. Full and angling in delivery by Bumrah, Overton misses his shot and the ball hits the front pad. Umpire raises his finger after a LBW appeal. Overton reviews and it’s the right call. Ball clearly missing the stumps. Overton then flicks the ball towards leg-side and takes two runs.
After 83 overs,England 191/7 ( Chris Woakes 18 , Craig Overton 3)
Shardul Thakur continues. Two outside off stump deliveries and then Shardul bowls on the pads. Overton flicks and takes a single. Woakes then gets an outside edge and ball rolls over to wide slip. In the next ball, he gets a thick outside edge, this time the ball is in the gap and batsmen run two. Two more off the final ball.
After 82 overs,England 185/7 ( Chris Woakes 12 , Craig Overton 3)
Bumrah is back and he starts off with a yorker. Overton does well to bring the bat down just in time. Oh Rahane puts down a catch. Bumrah’s ball rises up after pitching, Overton edges it to wide of third slip, Rahane goes for it but doesn’t time his jump properly as he spills the ball. Two off the over.
After 81 overs,England 183/7 ( Chris Woakes 12 , Craig Overton 1)
Just when it was getting bit frustrating, Shardul picks up the ball and takes a big wicket. Bumrah and Jadeja light up the day with their spells today but this Test belongs to Shardul Thakur. A proper all-round performance from him. Craig Overton is the new man in and he’s off the mark with a single.
Lord Shardul!
Root’s dismissal signals England’s demise I would imagine. What a match Shardul’s been having, with bat and ball!

Played on!
Shardul into the attack and he picks the big wicket of Root. The skipper gets a big inside edge while trying to guide the ball towards third man and stumps are broken. Root b Thakur 36(78)
After 80 overs,England 182/6 ( Joe Root (C) 36 , Chris Woakes 12)
Jadeja is back into the attack. Woakes defends and then pads away a few balls. He is doing well by occupying one end. 80 overs are done so the new ball is now available.
After 79 overs,England 181/6 ( Joe Root (C) 36 , Chris Woakes 12)
Siraj continues. Angling in deliveries to Root who is solid with his blocks. For the final ball, Siraj pitches it bit wide, Root takes the advantage and drives through cover for a boundary.
After 78 overs,England 177/6 ( Joe Root (C) 32 , Chris Woakes 12)
After the boundary, Woakes gets an outside edge which runs towards third man for a double. Woakes then plays a tentative flick, it goes high in the air but falls in the empty region near backward square leg. Root takes a single off the final ball to keep the strike.
After 77 overs,England 169/6
Siraj wide on the crease and goes down the leg, Root flicks it, Umesh does really well with his dive near the boundary to save two runs. There’s a big LBW appeal against Woakes who misses a ball angling into him. Virat Kohli has one review left but this one looks close. They don’t take it. Hawkeye says this was an umpire’s call on hitting the stumps. There’s an overthrow during the appeal which allows batsmen to take three runs. Three leg byes.
