82-85 overs left in a match and after this batting pair, all rounders are lined up considering Pant is injured and there is no surity if he can bat. Huge responsibility on Rahul- Gill duo and this partnership giving hope to indian fans.

England will be hoping some magic spell from stokes, he's the only guy who can create chances out of nowhere. All they need is breakthrough and in pressure situation flood gate could open in batting camp.

India is showing more resilience on the second innings. The only option left for them is to hope for a draw and for that they need to play the whole day tomorrow. They played 63 overs in the 4th day and losing only two wickets. For a draw, they need to play 90 to 100 overs more.
England had a perfect strategy, they started the day with quick runs and took risky shots to boost their score in short amount of time, giving India about 150 overs. But their bowlers failed to take wickets as expected. Still nothing can be said as India's lower order has been playing very bad. If a few wickets falls, the lower order could crumble in matter of overs and things could change really fast.

This Test match is incredibly exciting. India is showing great resilience on Day 4 losing only two wickets in 63 overs which gives them real shot at draw if they can bat for another 90 to 100 overs tomorrow. England plan to score quickly and declare was smart giving their bowlers plenty of time but those bowlers have not taken as many wickets as they had hoped. Still game is not over India lower order has been weak and if England can grab few quick wickets things could change very fast in their favor. It is set to be thrilling final day.

India got the partnership they maintained the game. Shubman Gill and KL Rahul are batting and both players scored up to 70 to 80 runs individually, likely to score a century. This time Yashasvi Jaiswal got out early. He always gave a wonderful start to the team as an opener and a great player but this time,he got out on duck by Chris Woakes and by the way Chris Woakes out Jaiswal on the 0.4th ball, and then on the very next ball, he got Sai Sudharsan but Shubman Gill and KL Rahul are still on the batting.They are making a great partnership and that's the only hope for the Indian team to save this game.

Yes, The chances of india winning this match is low but England have enough Chance to win this match and also win the series too. At the end of day 4 India still trial by 137 runs, in last season of day England bowlers didn't picked any single wicket. England outstanding batting performance in first inning of test match scoring 660 plus runs. England captain Ben Stokes played a classic inning of 141 runs and assited his team to scored a huge runs on board. India loss 2 early wickets but Indian captain Shubman Gill and Kl Rahul played will full of responsibility scoring 170 plus runa partnership today and will continue from tomorrow last day of test match. England needs to break this partnership if they want to win this test match.

Still the Indian team is behind the runs and they still need 137 runs to level up with the England score but they are making a good effort. Now I am 80 percent sure the match would finish without any result because just one day is left now and it is impossible that after getting the lead of just 80-100 runs India would declare the innings. India would try to bat as long as they can until they lose all their wickets, because the England team is batting aggressively. Therefore, it is certain that the match will not determine the winner and loser of this game.

England bowlers are finally able to break 188 runs partnership between KL Rahul and Shubman Gill. The third wicket partnership has saved India from an innings defeat after they lost two wickets for no run. It's important for Indian batting to capitalise on KL and Gill partnership. Still two more sessions left in today's play and if England can get one or two wickets before lunch then they are in a position to win the game. This game will also end in a thrilling manner like the third test.

I see the match being drawn because so far India have only lost four wickets at the lunch break of day 5 current score is 223 runs. India still trail by 88 runs and I think the next session will decide whether the match will be a draw or the England team will go on to win. Shubman Gill Indian captain played a wonderful inning scored a well deserved century and out after 103 runs. Ben Stokes picked the crucial wicket of Shubman Gill and give England a Chance to win this match. Now Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar is on carees and Washington Sundar looking very comfortable scoring at 21 runs so far. England will have to picked early wickets in the second session if they really want to win this match and if India plays responsibly then they can draw this test match.

Archer got Gill though he's been bowling like shit after that and swearing like a dumdum as usual which is why I have no clue why Stokes is sticking with him. He should have bowled himself along with Dawson.

India needs to survive this session and the next one for a draw which is why this test will probably go right down to the wire too. Excited!

Batting 2 sessions is a huge task for all rounders and tailenders. It would be epic and perfect robbery if india manages to draw this match, On par with 2021 sydney draw in BGT.

It would also means series won't be dead and we will have an another go in 5th test for draw series. Hope, Stokes is not bowling another spell, he can do anything lol.

India's target was to draw the match. Because the team had no chance of winning this match. Indian bowlers and batsmen batted very badly in the first innings. But now the match is most likely to be drawn. India's total is now 290 runs after losing 4 wickets. India is still behind by 22 runs.
KL Rahul and Shubman Gill have performed well. Rahul scored 90 runs and Gill scored 103 runs. Also Washington Sundar and Jadeja are batting very carefully. Their target is to survive at the crease. India has already batted 108 overs.

Looks like India would be successful in dragging it to a draw. There are still about 40 overs left but they do have 6 more wickets left and they are about to start leading. Both Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar seems set and are taking no risks at all playing very defensive. There's still Rishab Pant and Shardul Thakur who had been relatively successful and a bunch of other batsmen who could hold it longer. If India drags it to a draw, they would still have a chance to draw the series if they win the last game.

India did a very good job by batting throughout the day and not losing any wickets quickly. After KL Rahul and Shubman Gill played, Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja batted with the same responsibility and both have made 60+ runs and continue batting.

England hasn't been able to take wickets in this innings. Jofra Archer and Ben Stokes who were successful in the first innings, failed in the 2nd innings. Liam Dawson bowled the most 42+ overs but he also remains wicketless. After this match is drawn, the series will still stand at 2-1 in England's favor.

India has not lost any wickets after the second session. India has now scored 360 runs after losing 4 wickets. The team has secured a lead of 49 runs. After Gill and Rahul, Jadeja and Washington Sundar are now performing well. Both have scored 70+. There is no hope of seeing the result of this match. The match will definitely be a draw. India will not lose all their wickets and will not declare the innings. England will probably not have to bat either. On the fifth day, we will only see India's batting. However, England is still leading the series 2-1. If India wins the last match, the series will be drawn. Otherwise, England will win the series.

I think this match will be a draw but yesterday I thought that India might lose by an innings but their batsmen batted well and saved the team from losing. In the second innings, India is batting so far and trying to increase the lead. I expect that they might give England a target at the end of the day but so that they do not meet that target so that the match is drawn.

England's bowlers failed to bowl well, so the Indian batsmen took that opportunity to come back from a very close defeat. India escaped a humiliating defeat with the determination of KL Rahul and Shubman Gill.

Ravindra Jadeja once again doing the hard work for India along with Washington Sundar. In third test Jadeja was the last batsmen standing on the crease but he was unable to save the match for India but today due to his batting India will be able to draw the match. Only two wickets fell on day four which shows how resilient India batting is in second innings. India at the moment leading by 66 runs and 17 overs play left. If this match end in a draw then best thing India can do in this series is to draw it.

Ravindra Jadeja is the most experienced all-rounder in the Indian squad at present, so this all-rounder has provided a great backup in India's difficult times. Apart from performing brilliantly in the first innings, he is batting very patiently in the second innings. Today, due to this patience of Ravindra Jadeja, India has come very close to drawing this match. Today, cricket fans will see an important century from Ravindra Jadeja. However, India is playing much better in the second innings compared to the first innings where Shubman Gill has already scored a century and Ravindra Jadeja is very close to a century, meaning he is unbeaten on 97 runs.

The situation in the India vs England match so far makes it certain that the result of the fourth Test match will be a draw.

Out of the first three matches, England has won two matches and India has won one match, so if today's match is drawn, then we will have to look at the fifth match again and if India wins the fifth match, then this entire series will be a draw.
Although India could not collect big in the first innings, they collected big in the second innings and till now they have survived the wicket. If Team India continues to bat like this, then England may not be able to all out India on the fifth day. Maybe Team India will declare its innings towards the end of the fifth day and England may end the fifth day's play after batting a few overs and thus the result of this match will be a draw.

India is trying very hard in their second innings, which shows their hard work, but they are worried because the England team has given India a huge target, due to which they will lose the match. The Indian batsmen have scored 388 runs so far with the loss of 4 wickets, if they work harder, they can make it a difficult game for England, due to which it can be easy for them to win. The Indian batsmen should continue to play well with their hard work and also be tough in their bowling, then this victory will be much better for them. If England is tough, it will be easy for them because India is playing well, if they become strong in any way, it will be a loss for England, due to which they can also lose the match. This match is being played with great interest because this match has been played between these two for a long time.

[JSRAW]

Haha they did it! This is draw but considering the situation, it feels like a win lol. Mighty efforts from the kl ( turning out to reliable bat in this series, Gill, he had no SENA tons before this tour and now has 4 tons which includes one 200. Jaddu is our best bat after pant since post Covid ( averaging above 40 with the bat in the last 4-5 years).

Washi! Have said this many times, i highly rate him as batter, all he needs is some fine tuning on his game awareness along with his fitness ( he picks bizarre injuries) and finally he got his maiden 100, should have been 2nd if not for Siraj.

Love the last minute drama from Poms 

Again Stokes is superman!

Once again, Ravindra Jadeja saved the match for India. When India was down at 0/2, I was almost sure that they would lose. Despite that, they batted for 143 overs, losing just 4 wickets against a quality England bowling attack. Washington Sundar deserves the special mention, for his courageous knock, and so does KL Rahul and Shubman Gill. BTW, this doesn't look good for England. Their bowling attack also looked teethless after the poor showing from the Indian bowlers.

[virasog]

However, England is still leading the series 2-1. If India wins the last match, the series will be drawn. Otherwise, England will win the series.

The 4th test match is officially drawn now, however, the Indian dressing room would be happier with the outcome of the result as they were struggling till day 04, but they were able to save this game. Moving forward, the fifth test will be the utmost important for both teams. India has to win that test match at any cost. If the last test is drawn too, even in that case England will won the series. However, if the Indian team wins that test, the series will be level, so technically England cannot lose this series.

Indian side as expected successfully divert results into draw and that's huge from them at current situation, because a single defeat can push the entire series results out of thier hand. Rahul and gill played really vital role, because it's quite difficult to make a comeback especially after having 300+ on board to match and then lose back to back two wickets early on with zero contribution. But they really mange things later after them jadeja and Washington played ordinary by following thier footsteps and thus indian played rest of the day 5 and just able to lose four and took 114 runs lead and that's why things end up without any results and called it draw.
