England currently have erased the 95-run first innings deficit to enjoy a slender 24-run lead
India's fast bowlers made early inroads but England captain Joe Root hit a counter-attacking half-century to take England's second innings score to 119 for 2 against India at lunch on the fourth day of the opening Test. England currently have erased the 95-run first innings deficit to enjoy a slender 24-run lead with bright sunshine baking the pitch and making stroke-play easier than the first three days. Root , who hit nine boundaries, including some rasping drives through the cover, is batting on 56 off 74 balls while opener Dom Sibley (27 batting off 116 balls) survived anxious moments as he got a DRS decision overturned off Shardul Thakur's bowling.More Related News
