England were bundled out for 205 after skipper Joe Root won the toss and decided to bat first. At stumps, India's score read 24/1 with Rohit (8) and Pujara (15) at the crease -- trailing the visitors by 181 runs in the first innings. After a disappointing show with the bat, England got off to a flying start with the ball as James Anderson struck with the third ball of the innings. The pace spearhead trapped Gill (0) in front of the stumps as India lost a wicket with no run on the board.

While it was Mohammed Siraj who picked the all-important wicket of Joe Root in the first session, Ashwin broke the deadlock in the third session as he dismissed Ollie Pope. Pope's wicket sparked a collapse from which England couldn't really recover. The visitors went down from 166/5 to 205 all out within 14.3 overs, losing half of their side for 39 runs as Axar struck twice in one over. Ashwin dismissed Pope a few minutes into the third session. Pope got unlucky as the inside edge hit the back pad and popped to short-leg fielder Shubman Gill. India's senior off-spinner then dismissed Ben Foakes in the 66th over to reduce the visitors to 170/7. Minutes later Axar dismissed Dan Lawrence and Dom Bess to leave England reeling at 189/9. It looked as the visiting side would get bundled out soon, but Jack Leach and James Anderson took England over the 200-run mark for the first time since their marathon total of 578 in the opening Test in Chennai. But Ashwin ended Leach's stint shortly … [Read more...] about India vs England, 4th Test: Axar Patel stars with 4 wickets as visitors bowled out for 205

At the tea, England were 144/5 with Ollie Pope (21) and Daniel Lawrence (15) at the crease. While it was Mohammed Siraj who picked the all-important wicket of Joe Root in the first session, Washington Sundar sent back dangerman Ben Stokes for 55 in the second session. Siraj also added to his tally as he dismissed Jonny Bairstow (28) after the batsman had put in the hard yards. If the first session saw three wickets fall, the second session saw the visitors add 70 runs for the loss of two wickets as the host bowlers kept piling pressure on the English batsmen. But the likes of Bairstow and Stokes showed fight and did not succumb to the constant pressure from the Indian bowlers. While Bairstow and Stokes both fell against the run of play, the duo of Pope and Lawrence showed that they are here to compete and make the hosts bowling attack earn their wickets. Earlier, electing to bat first, England openers Dominic Sibley and Zak Crawley saw off the first five overs bowled by the … [Read more...] about India vs England, 4th Test: Tea update: Ben Stokes fifty leads English resistance

India vs England 4th Test, Day 1: England’s batsmen lost the battle of both mind and skills in yet another shoddy performance to surrender the momentum to India with Axar Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin calling the shots on the opening day of the fourth and final Test here on Thursday. After five innings, England crossed the 200-run mark but a total of 205 in 75.5 overs was certainly not what Joe Root had expected when he called it right at the toss on a day which would have ideally been best for batting. There was turn and bounce but the pitch was far from being a minefield that some of the England batsmen save Ben Stokes (55, 121 balls) made it out to be. For India, spinners Axar Patel (26-7-68-4), Ravichandran Ashwin (19.5-4-47-3) and Washington Sundar (7-1-14-1) toyed with the already messed up minds, clueless on how to deal with the conditions. Mohammed Siraj (14-2-45-2) also played his part to perfection with the semi-new and old ball, hurrying the batsmen with sheer pace as … [Read more...] about India vs England, 4th Test: Axar, Ashwin Share Seven Wickets to Give Hosts The Upper Hand
