India vs England Live Score 4th Test IND vs ENG Akash makes

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Root is carrying ENG's hopes after they lost 5 wickets in the 1st session, 3 of which fell to Akash.

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG:

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Pacer Akash Deep has made a dream debut to his Test career, taking three wickets in his first six overs and leaving England reeling after they won the toss and chose to bat in the fourth Test against India at the JSCA Stadium in Ranchi. England eventually lost half their batting lineup in the first session and were reeling at 112/5 in 24.1 overs. ...Read More

Akash Deep replaced the rested Jasprit Bumrah and has been almost unplayable in the early part of the first session. He knocked Zak Crawley over in his second over but it turned out that he had overstepped, thus giving the batter a lifeline. He then took the wickets of Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope shortly thereafter and then smashed Crawley's off stump. This time, it was a legitimate delivery and Crawley had to walk. England captain Ben Stokes earlier said that spinner Rehan, who has been their highest wicket-taker thus far in this series, has gone back home for personal reasons and will not return for the rest of the series.

Ranchi plays host for the decisive fourth Test between India and England. India currently lead the five-match series 2-1 and a win here for the hosts would mark the end of England's quest to prevent Rohit Sharma's side from winning yet another Test series at home. On the other hand if England do manage to win it, the series goes back to level-pegging at 2-2 and sets up an exciting finale in Dharamsala.

India are going to be without their ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah, with the 30-year-old having been rested in order to manage his workload. Bumrah has bowled well over 80 overs in this series and is the highest wicket-taker. Mohammed Siraj, who had been rested in the second Test, is now expected to lead the pace effort and Bengal fast bowler Akash Deep could also make his debut.

KL Rahul, who injured his thigh in the opening Test in Hyderabad, has not recovered yet but India will take heart from Sarfaraz Khan's twin fifties in his debut Test in Rajkot. Wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel, who also made his debut in Rajkot, struck a fluent 46 to prove he is no dud with the bat either.

India have been forced to hand debut caps to Rajat Patidar, Dhruv Jurel and Sarfaraz Khan so far because to the absence of Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer, and with pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah too being rested for the Ranchi Test, Akash Deep could also be in line for the coveted Test spot. Additionally, Devdutt Padikkal is knocking on the doors with Patidar failing to impress in his first four innings.

Sarfaraz, though, would be an easy fit into the side for the remainder of this series thanks to the twin half-centuries he scored in his debut Test in Rajkot. His Mumbai teammate Yashasvi Jaiswal, meanwhile, has probably confirmed himself for the next few Test series at the very least. He has scored two double centuries this series and is the highest run scorer by some distance. In six innings, Jaiswal has smashed 545 runs at an average of 109.00. Ben Duckett, with 288 at 48.00, is a distant second.

Smarting from their record defeat by 434 runs in Rajkot, England have brought in seamer Ollie Robinson and spinner Shoaib Bashir, replacing Mark Wood and Rehan Ahmed. The shellacking also prompted questions about England's ultra-aggressive approach, which many feel borders on recklessness. England captain Ben Stokes, who is tipped to resume bowling in this match following knee surgery last November, has brushed aside the backlash. The look of the pitch in Ranchi was a greater concern for the 32-year-old as he plots ways to keep England alive in the series.

Here are some highlights around India vs England 4th Test:

- Akash Deep took three wickets in a fiery seven-over spell

- Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja also chipped away towards the end of the first session

- England were 112/5 in 24.1 overs at Lunch

-England have brought in Ollie Robinson for the first time in the series

- India could be without Jasprit Bumrah

- Akash Deep is in line to make his international debut

- India could seal a series victory if they win the Ranchi Test

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: England crawling along

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Root has hunkered down today, none of those flash sweeps and reverse sweeps and ramps from him so far. It has been classic Test batting from him and this is very, very ominious indeed for India. So far, they haven't let him score and rotate strike easily enough though. He has made 32 in 78 balls, Foakes at the other end on seven off 28.

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Ashwin is steadily bowling in the 90kph area and his action seems to have been slightly tweaked for that. Might be because of all that the pitch is doing here. 12 runs in this session so far for England. Foakes is on six off 18, Root on 22 off 52.

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: England's hopes rest on Root

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: There has been none of that wide-eyed frenzied batting from Root today. He has looked much closer to the version that piled on a mountain of runs during his previous tours of India. Root is batting on 16 off 41 and one can assume that Ben Foakes will be walking out with him whenever the new session begins. He really has a task in his hands now.

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: That first session...

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: That was as action-packed a session as you can ever hope to see in a Test match. More than 100 runs on the board for England but five wickets for India as well. A number of appeals, a number of reviews, and most of them successful ones. Akash Deep stands tall among all that rubble with three wickets in his maiden spell in international cricket. Tempting to say that India are well ahead in this match but the fact remains that their batters will also have to navigate this pitch whenever this England innings ends.

The Indians push him ahead and ask him to lead them off the field.

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: First ball of the 25th from Jadeja, it shoots off the pitch and smashes Stokes around the ankle. The Indians appeal, umpire gives and Stokes just walks off with a wry smile on his face. Unplayable delivery and he was as plumb as they come. England have lost have their side in the first session.

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Bairstow hit on the back leg sweeping off the very next ball, big appeal from India and the umpire shakes his head. Rohit reviews once again. No bat and it straightens enough from around the wicket for it to be three reds on ball-tracking. Just when things were starting to look good for England, Bairstow falls trying to sweep for a reason that probably even he would find difficult to explain. Extraordinarily poor shot selection there from Bairstow and he throws away a good start.

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Bairstow defends the first ball of the 18th back to Siraj, who picks it up and shapes up to throw it at the batter. He holds that position and stares at Bairstow, the batter stares back and a few seconds later, the Bairstow starts doing that nod which says, "Ya, that's right." Siraj wasn't too happy about Bairstow pulling out citing some movement over the sight screen in the previous over either.

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: And he knocks Crawley over after all. The off stump had gone cartwheeling when Crawley was dismissed off that no-ball delivery from Akash Deep, this time the ball hits the top of off. It will remain a wonderful sight for the pacer though. Crawley hangs around, looking at the umpire longingly for a no-ball and for a second, the Indians are worried as well. Then the umpire confirms that he is indeed out and so Crawley has to walk.

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: That is 19 runs off that over. He seemed to be struggling all the way until these last four balls. Third ball of the seventh over is driven by Crawley between Siraj and the mid-off fielder. Then Siraj goes a little too straight and Crawley clips it past mid-on. The fifth ball is a gift from Siraj, overpitched and straight and Crawley flicks it through square leg. Then Crawley smashes the last ball back over the bowler's head. He has suddenly raced to 32 off as many at the end of that over.

"I don't know, I've never seen something like that before so I have got no idea," Stokes said, when asked on how the pitch might play. "I don't know what could happen. If you looked down one side of opposite ends it just looked different to what I am used to seeing, especially out in India. It looked green and grassy up in the changing-rooms, but then you go out there, it looked different. Very dark and crumbly and quite a few cracks in it."
