Leeds: India's Prasidh Krisnha and Shardul Thakur took two wickets apiece as an enthralling first Test against England at Headingley on Tuesday headed for a grandstand finish following a superb hundred from Ben Duckett.
England were 269-4 when rain forced an early tea on the fifth day, needing a further 102 runs to reach a victory target of 371 in the final session.
Joe Root was 14 not out with England captain Ben Stokes unbeaten on 13.
Krishna, in only his fourth Test, struck twice in quick succession to leave England 206-2 following a superb opening stand of 188 between Duckett and Zak Crawley (65).
And medium-pacer Thakur then took two wickets in two balls as Harry Brook followed the prize scalp of Duckett for 149, to leave England 253-4.
