England versus India Fourth Test Live Cricket Score: IND vs. ENG In the last over of the first day, Mohammed Siraj provided the breakthrough when he got rid of Ben Foakes for 47 runs, breaking a tough 113-run partnership for the sixth wicket. 

On the first day of the fourth Test match between England and India, Joe Root and Chris Foakes helped the home team pull off an impressive turnaround. 

After dropping five wickets in the opening session, Root and Foakes dug in and made sure the visitors didn’t lose a wicket for the first time this series.

England was 112/5 at lunchtime, but they are 198/5 at teatime. 

With several unhappy expressions towards the close of that session and Rohit Sharma burning their final remaining review for an LBW decision against Foakes, Root and Foakes seemed to have upset India by keeping the aggressive ‘Bazball’ style of batting on hold.

Earlier, after winning the toss and electing to bat, bowler Akash Deep had a fantastic Test debut, grabbing three wickets in his opening six overs and leaving England reeling. 

After collecting a wicket apiece before lunch, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin caused England to lose half of their batting lineup in the opening session.

After Jasprit Bumrah was rested, Akash Deep took his position. 

Throughout the first portion of the practice, he was practically unplayable.

In his second over, he managed to get Zak Crawley out, but it turned out that he had overstepped, allowing the batter a chance to survive. 

Shortly after, he grabbed the wickets of Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope before smashing Crawley’s off stump. 

It was a legitimate delivery this time, and Crawley was forced to walk. Ben Stokes, the captain of England, had earlier stated that spinner Rehan, who has taken the most wickets for them so far in this series, had returned home for personal reasons and would not be playing in the remaining games of the series.

The crucial fourth Test between India and England is being hosted in Ranchi. 

England’s hopes of stopping Rohit Sharma’s team from winning yet another Test series at home would end if the hosts defeated India, who now lead the five-match series 2-1. However, should England prevail, the series returns to a 2-2 draw and sets up a thrilling series decider in Dharamsala.

India’s top pacer, Jasprit Bumrah, 30, will be absent because he took a break to better manage his workload. 

Bumrah is the series’ leading wicket-taker with well over 80 overs bowled. 

Akash Deep, a fast bowler for Bengal, may also make his debut, and Mohammed Siraj, who was rested for the second Test, is now anticipated to spearhead the pace attack.

While KL Rahul is still recovering from his thigh injury sustained in the first Test in Hyderabad, Sarfaraz Khan’s two fifties in his debut Test in Rajkot will give India hope. 

Additionally making his debut in Rajkot, wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel demonstrated his batsmanship with a fluid 46.

Due to the unavailability of Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, and Shreyas Iyer, India has been forced to give debut jerseys to Rajat Patidar, Dhruv Jurel, and Sarfaraz Khan thus far. 

With pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah being sidelined for the Ranchi Test, Akash Deep may also be in line for the coveted Test place. 

In addition, Patidar has not impressed in his first four innings, and Devdutt Padikkal is pounding on doors.

But after scoring two half-centuries in his first Test match in Rajkot, Sarfaraz would be a lock to be in the side for the rest of this series. 

Yashasvi Jaiswal, his Mumbai colleague, has, at the absolute least, most likely guaranteed his availability for the upcoming Test series. 

He is by far the best run scorer in this series with two double hundreds. 

Jaiswal has blasted 545 runs at an average of 109.00 in six innings. Ben Duckett is far behind with 288 at 48.00.

England has brought in seamer Ollie Robinson and spinner Shoaib Bashir in place of Mark Wood and Rehan Ahmed, after suffering a record-breaking 434-run loss in Rajkot.

Questions concerning England’s too aggressive strategy—which many believe verges on recklessness—were also raised by the shellacking. 

After undergoing knee surgery in November of last year, England captain Ben Stokes is expected to bowl again in this match. 

He has dismissed the criticism. As he plans how to keep England in the series, the 32-year-old was more concerned about the condition of the Ranchi surface.

Here are some highlights from the fourth Test between India and England:

England were 112/5 in 24.1 overs at lunch. 

England brought in Ollie Robinson for the first time in the series. India may be without Jasprit Bumrah. 

Akash Deep is likely to make his international debut. India could win the series if they win the Ranchi Test. 

Joe Root and Ben Foakes ensured that England don’t lose a single wicket throughout the second session after losing five in the first. 

Root scored his first half-century of the series.
