Jurel! becomes the highest scoring Indian batsman (1st innings) who just got out at 90 to end the Indian 1st innings of 307. India trail by 46 runs and it will only get tougher when India comes back to bat in 4th innings. If India can shut down England under 200 runs, there might be a chance for India to chase it down.

[JSRAW]

What an inning from Dhruv Jurel and surprisingly good on our tailender for sticking at the crease. Things could've been worse for India.

The deficit is 46 and the match is still in favor of England by 65-35 because India are batting last but now they have a fighting chance and both bowling and batting departments will get another shot. 

Maiden 5-for for Bashir and it came at a very crucial time, props to him.

Indian young talents always complaning that they are not given opportunity but look what is happening now, Patidar was so lucky to play even after back to back failures just because KL rahul is injured and Kohli is taking a break for the personal commitment which he deserves. S the team India is going back to the old era where we expect Sachin to win the entire team and if he get out then it's end of hope for India but later things changed a lot now due to shorter formats the team management is not picking up the right players for red ball cricket and they just go by the star players of IPL which is irrelevant to test format.

Some people think that young Indian cricketers only get chances because older players are injured. They also believe that the team is going back to relying on individual brilliance like Sachin Tendulkar. Cricket has changed into a team sport and the team choices should be seen in a wider context not just as favoritism or success in short matches. There are ways to improve how players are chosen but it's not right to ignore the hard work of players like Patidar and the team decisions without understanding the complexities of modern cricket.

At this time, the team of India is struggling to make more runs than 48 and if they made only 48 runs so they would have a lead of 0 runs. But at this time I don't think so that the Indian team can make it because only a wicket is left and Dhruv Jure and Muhammad Siraj are on batting and these both are the bowlers. They cannot chase it and after them England came to bat with the lead of some runs.

Just the wicket of Dhruv Jure fell and now he was out so the innings was finished. Let's see now what the England team will do in the next innings. After one hour, the next innings will be going to start.

So India done and dusted at 307, what a fightback from India, Jurel-Kuldeep partnership brought back India in the game, Kuldeep shown a good defense making 28 from 138 balls, way he got out was bit unlucky too, anyway that just made Anderson close to his 700 wickets milestone. What a batting by Dhruv, he exceeded all expectations, in prior couple innings he fell short to fifty and I was happy seeing him getting fifty this time around but then he goes on to make 90, just a little short from century.

Now, India is trailing by 46 runs, they'll be happy with it.

Superb knock under pressure from Jurel and most importantly he scored runs when India required them badly. Overall its a good batting from Indian side, they have given away just a lead of 46 runs. Most of wickets are picked up by spinners so far and England need to be careful against Jadeja and Ashwin in second innings. England need to score 350 runs in second innings to take target to 46.

India's lower order batsmen batted very well. I didn't think India could score 300+ runs in this match. Because apart from opener Jaiswal, we have not seen good batting from top order and middle order batsmen. Indian middle order players have batted very badly.

Due to Dhruv Jurel's responsible batting, India managed to amass a huge total of 307. Jurel got out after collecting 90 runs. Kuldeep Yadav also played an excellent innings of 28 runs off 131 balls.

If the England team can muster 280+ in the second innings then I think they have a chance to win. England will win if the target is more than 300. Because it is very difficult to win by batting at a target of 300+ in the last innings on this pitch. The pitch is not batting friendly.

In the 4th Test match of India vs England team, India team came to the field to bat in the 1st Innings and scored 307 runs after losing 10 wickets in 103.2 overs. India team was 46 runs behind the England team in the 1st Innings. Today, the England team came to the field to bat again in the 2nd Innings.  13 runs and no wicket has been lost so far. Let's see how many runs the England team can score in the 2nd Innings.

In the 4th Test match of India vs England team, India team came to the field to bat in the 1st Innings and scored 307 runs after losing 10 wickets in 103.2 overs. India team was 46 runs behind the England team in the 1st Innings. Today, the England team came to the field to bat again in the 2nd Innings.  13 runs and no wicket has been lost so far. Let's see how many runs the England team can score in the 2nd Innings.

England team already lost their two-wicket and are currently at 63 for two wickets and currently, it is only 14+ over bowl running. Even then England is leading by 109 run but I think this is not a good start from England team Ollie Pope and Ben Duckett was good wickets for India team. Zak Crawley and Joe Root is now on the pitch. Let's see what can they do today. If England will able to cross 300 run today I think there will be more probability of wining of England today.

[Popkon6]

As India went all out and started batting England again and again, the number of wickets fell by England team so far. England team collected 67 runs for 3 wickets in 17.3 overs, Root performed well in the first innings of England team's fourth match. Root did not perform well in the second innings scoring only 11 runs and the other batsmen who got out did not perform well either. So far the England team is ahead and has given a lead of 117 runs to the Indians.

India managed to score 360 runs in the first innings due to Dhruv Jurel's amazing batting. Dhruv Jurel batted very well whereas India's first order batsmen did not bat that well in the first innings in India's fourth test match. Dhruv Jurel was dismissed with 90 runs for 149 runs. India were all out for 307 runs in the first innings. England team is not batting very well in the second innings in the fourth test match. The current score of the England team is 83 runs for three wickets in 22 overs. If the England team wants to win the fourth test match, their batsmen must bat more responsibly. So that they can win the fourth test match against India because if they don't give India a big target then England can never win against India.

The deficit is 46 and the match is still in favor of England by 65-35 because India are batting last but now they have a fighting chance and both bowling and batting departments will get another shot.

Most of wickets are picked up by spinners so far and England need to be careful against Jadeja and Ashwin in second innings. England need to score 350 runs in second innings to take target to 46.

In the four test matches, England's performance again went to good after losing 2 matches by India back to back but still, England has a very good chance to win this test series if they win the remaining two matches.
In this series, Virat Kohli is part of this test series but due to personal issues he cannot play it, and the last 3 matches we don't have seen him but at the same time we saw Rohit Sharma and Jaiswal century. From the Indian team, at this time, only Jaiswal playing well and the whole team depended on him because Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill both had a competition that who would perform poor.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Zak Crawley is batting responsibly. Although the top order batsmen Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope and Joe Root did not play well in the second innings, Crawley is batting very well. Zak Crawley is unbeaten with 57 runs from 81 balls.

I expected better batting from Pope and Root. But Pope failed to collect any runs and Root collected only 11 runs. Now at the crease are Crawley and Bairstwo. These two batsmen are very experienced. Bairstwo scored 23 runs. At the end of 26 overs, the England team managed to collect 107 runs. Ravichandran Ashwin took three wickets today. Spinners are getting advantage on this pitch. It will not be easy for England to collect big.

[Bureau]

Bairstow is batting well in the second innings he was looking good in the first innings until he got lbw by Ashwin. Another good knock by Crawley and this time he got his half century. Ashwin was good enough to take 3 wickets after lunch which helped India in stopping those runs. At present the England team has a lead of 153 runs they will be trying to add another 250 runs to take the lead to 400 runs.

[Cheema02]

In the fourth test match day 3 India All out 307 runs in the first inning of the match. From India Dhruv Jurel played an impressive inning of 90 runs andunfortunately, missed his well-deserved century by 10 runs short.  England's current score is 109 runs in a loss of 3 wickets. Now England lead by 155 runs at the second session of the day. England had three batters out very early in the second inning Crawley and Jony Bairstow both England batters played so well and made a good partnership. Crawley scored a decent fifty now playing at 59 runs Not out and Bairstow is playing at 24 not out. Ravichandran Ashwin spinner of the Indian team performed very well all three picked up 3 important wickets by giving 48 runs. India will need to break this partnership to restrict England team to under 300 runs.

[WatChe]

India in excellent position in second innings, thanks to Indian spinners who got 4 quick wickets. England need someone to stay on the pitch and create a partnership of at least 100 runs otherwise game will slip away from there hands. Only 3 overs are bowled by Indian pacer in second rest of all overs are from spinners. Ashwin got 3 quick wickets and when Zak Crawley was well set and looking dangerous he was eliminated by Kuldeep Yadav. By stumps we will get good picture of who will win this game.

[elevates]

Crawley gone after scoring 60 runs he was looking dangerous for the Indian team. Ben Stokes came to the pitch for few minutes and got out after scoring only 4 runs. Both wickets were taken by Kuldeep and he can get a few more today. England have lost 5 wickets and have a small lead of 166 runs. This game is again shifting towards India with these two wicket falling in quich succession. Bairstow is still batting and is batting well against the Indian spin attack.

[BALIK]

Zak Crawley is batting responsibly. Although the top order batsmen Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope and Joe Root did not play well in the second innings, Crawley is batting very well. Zak Crawley is unbeaten with 57 runs from 81 balls.

I expected better batting from Pope and Root. But Pope failed to collect any runs and Root collected only 11 runs. Now at the crease are Crawley and Bairstwo. These two batsmen are very experienced. Bairstwo scored 23 runs. At the end of 26 overs, the England team managed to collect 107 runs. Ravichandran Ashwin took three wickets today. Spinners are getting advantage on this pitch. It will not be easy for England to collect big.

In the first innings, with the help of Joe Root, the England team is batting badly in the second innings. It seems that England is going to lose this match like the previous two matches.

Losing 6 wickets England team managed to collect only 120 runs. Ben Foakes and Hartley are batting now. If this pair doesn't play well, I guess England team will give a target of less than 200. Ben Foakes must bat well today. If the target is around 250 then there is a chance for England to win this match. But if the target is less than 200, England will definitely be defeated. England is now leading by 166 runs.

[elevates]

Again a good come back from India. The spin attack is destroying any chance of England giving a big lead. 7 wickets are gone now the tail enders are batting. I think Rohit and his team would be interested in getting a lead below 200 runs. Looking at the condition of the pitch the Indian batting won't last again the English spin duo as they did in the first innings.

[Minor Miner]

Zak Crawley is batting responsibly. Although the top order batsmen Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope and Joe Root did not play well in the second innings, Crawley is batting very well. Zak Crawley is unbeaten with 57 runs from 81 balls.

England is now leading by 166 runs.

England lost their eighth batsman for 133 runs. The team has no chance of big collection. And before 150 maybe they will lose the wicket of the remaining two batsmen.

After performing so well in the first innings, I never thought that England would do so badly in the second innings. My estimate was that England would score at least 200 runs, and set a descent target of 250. But they will probably fail to do that either. England's batsmen are unable to survive at the crease against Kuldeep Yadav and Ashwin. Kuldeep Yadav took 4 wickets and Ashwin 3 wickets. Kuldeep took 4 wickets in just 10 overs. The Indian captain is using only his spin bowlers in the second innings.

Out of the 8 wickets, Kuldeep took 4 wickets and hopefully, he might get more wickets. The pitch looks good for spin bowling and after watching the English spinners doing well the Indian spin attack knew that they would get wickets. I did not expect them to get wickets so fast, especially from Kuldeep Yadav. The lead is still not above 200 runs and now the tail is batting. I do not think they would be able to get more runs as they would now try to safe their wickets and try to bat till the end of day 3.
