India vs England Test 4 Day 3

India surrenders without a fight for inning defeat!

England routed India by an inning and 54 runs on day 3. India were all out for 161 runs in the second inning. Except Ashwin no Indian batsman showed any fight. Gambhir, recalled after a long time, could not take advantage of the chance and went down cheaply in the second inning as well. 6 Indian batsman entered double digits but could not convert the start into big scores. M Ali took 4 wickets for 39 runs. Anderson and Jordan shared 2 each.

Looks like India was in a hurry to finish off the game on the third day and go shopping for the remaining two days of this Test.

India vs England Test 4 Day 2

England leads by 85 runs at Close!

England were 237/6 at close leading by 85 runs at close of day. India is trying hard to stay in the game. Root and Buller are on the crease. At one point England were down at 160/6 putting the match in fine balance but survived to extend the lead without losing any more wickets.

Most of the day after lunch was lost because of rain. It started raining around 2:15PM, nine overs after the lunch, and no play was possible after that.

Inid vs England Test 4 Day 1

England destroys India on day1!

England were 113/3 after winding down India at 152 just before Tea. Anderson and Broad set it up by exploiting the helpful conditons brilliantly in the morning. India were 8/4 when Pujara fell for 0. Earlier India won toss and decided to bat first. Only Dhoni (70) and Ashwin (40) showed some resistance. Rahane (24) was the only other batsman to cross individual score of 4. Broad had a spectacular day and took 6 for 24 in 13.4 overs.

Fall of first 4 wickets: 8-1 (Gambhir 4), 8-2 (Vijay 0), 8-3 (Kohli 0), 8-4 (Pujara 0)

Indian batsman Gautam Gambhir, included in the Manchester Test squad in place of Shikhar Dhawan, was able to score only 4 runs and was taken out by Broad. Then Murali Vijay and Virat Kohli could not do anything special and went out without opening an account.

For this match, while India has made three changes there has been no change in the England squad. Opener Gautam Gambhir in place of Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma in place of spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and paceman Mohammad Sami in place of Varun Aaron has been given the chance.
