... Day 4, Session 2 ...
The Indian skipper and his deputy have a mountain of a task ahead of them. The English bowlers maintained tight lines and lengths throughout the session, not giving any freebies to the visiting batsmen. Will we see the no. 1 Test team fight back and make a match out of this? We will soon find out. Join us on the other side of the break.
England are right on top as we enter the Lunch break in this exciting and enthralling battle. Their tail couldn't wag for long this morning but the way they have bowled has put them in a position of immense strength. India have lost their top order quickly and they will have their hopes pinned on the current pair of Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane.

Sam Curran to Rahane, Safe! The impact has turned out to be Rahane's savior! Fabulous use of the review by the tourists. They cannot afford to lose another wicket before Lunch. Sam, from around the wicket, angles it into Rahane. Lands it on a fuller length as Ajinkya comes forward to block it out. The ball pitches and continues to come into Rahane who pushes at it but gets beaten by the inward movement and the ball raps him on his front pad. England appeal loudly and the umpire raises his finger. The hosts are ecstatic but the batsmen chat and decide to challenge the decision. Hawk Eye shows that the impact is outside off stump and the decision is overturned. Rahane will continue to battle on. Can the pair go on to build a longer partnership?
