India vs England 5th Test Highlights, Day 5: Root, Bairstow slam tons as England register their highest successful chase in Tests; series ends in a 2-2 draw

Jasprit Bumrah to Alex Lees, Serves it on a length outside off, Lees defends it from the inner edge onto the ground.

Joe Root, the ex-skipper is out to face the music!

Jasprit Bumrah to Alex Lees, Bowls it full on middle, angling in. Lees blocks it off to silly mid on. Kohli is very vocal from behind the stumps. The pendulum has swung.

Jasprit Bumrah to Joe Root, Root gets off the mark straightaway. This is full and down the leg, Root flicks it to deep mid-wicket for a run.

Jasprit Bumrah to Ollie Pope, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! This is the ideal start for India after the break! Whatever they had for Tea has worked wonders. Bumrah, the skipper, leads from the front. He gets Pope for the second time in this game. This is on a length and on off, it lands and moves away. Pope looks to defend but does so inside the line. It goes off the outside edge and Pant makes no mistake. England are on the back foot all of a sudden.

We are back for the third and final session of Day 4 in Birmingham. What a crucial session this may prove to be in the context of the game! We could very well know which direction this game will go. The Indian players have walked out with a bit of a spring in their steps as they are pumped up after the last two overs of the previous session. England will try to continue to be positive. Alex Lees and Ollie Pope are ready to resume the battle and Jasprit Bumrah is ready with the ball.

... DAY 4, SESSION 3 …

A cracking finish to the afternoon session which was thoroughly dominated by England. A wicket late in the session was the only black spot for the home team. Their supposedly weak link in batting, i.e. the openers, provided them with a century stand and took out a big chunk of runs from the target. Alex Lees batted with positive intent and it soon rubbed on his partner Zak Crawley as well. The change in ball changed India's fortunes and they will look to regain control of this game after the break. It's all set up to be another enthralling session. Do join us at 8.30 pm IST (3 pm GMT) for all the action.

Mohammad Shami to Alex Lees,  It's pitched full and outside off, Alex Lees shoulders his arms to it and that will be Tea on Day 4! England are 107/1, needing another 271 runs to level the series.

Mohammad Shami to Alex Lees, This is wide from the stumps on a good length. Alex Lees leaves this one easily.

Mohammad Shami to Alex Lees, Goes slightly full outside off. Beats Alex Lees once again as he tries to play at the ball

Mohammad Shami to Alex Lees, The ball is suddenly doing a lot more! Has the change of ball worked? This one bounces off a good length and moves back in sharply. Alex Lees does well to let this one go.

Mohammad Shami to Alex Lees, This one nips back in from a good length. Alex Lees comes forward outside off to negate the swing, but gets beaten on his inside edge.

Mohammad Shami to Alex Lees, The fortunes seem to have changed! Mohammad Shami bowls this on a good length and shaping away from 'round the wicket, Alex Lees is beaten this time!

Jasprit Bumrah to Ollie Pope, Another attemped yorker by Bumrah. Goes full but down the leg side. Ollie Pope is not bothered about it.

Jasprit Bumrah to Ollie Pope, Goes full and angling in. Pope blocks it straight to the bowler.

Ollie Pope is next, at number 3.

Jasprit Bumrah to Zak Crawley, OUT! TIMBER! That is an error in judgment and India gets the much-needed breakthrough and it is Jasprit Bumrah who delivers! It is never a good idea to leave a ball on a wicket where there is not a lot of bounce. With the new ball, it is still fine but you can’t leave it on length against the old ball and Crawley makes that mistake. It is just outside off, it comes back in. Crawley shoulders arms without covering the off pole. It hits the top of it. Will this open the floodgates? Can they take one more before the break?

Jasprit Bumrah to Zak Crawley, Good-length delivery, angling in. Crawley lifts his bat and lets it go.

Bowling change. Jasprit Bumrah brings himself back into the attack with Tea approaching. 0 for 22 in his 4 overs so far.
