Overview

  • England will begin the fifth day at 339/6 requiring 35 more runs with four wickets in hand to secure a 3-1 series lead.
  • Harry Brook’s counterattacking 111 and Joe Root’s unbeaten 98 combined for a 195-run stand that shifted momentum firmly in England’s favour.
  • Mohammed Siraj delivered an eight-over spell that yielded two wickets and his 20th of the series to become the leading bowler.
  • Siraj’s failure to complete a fine-leg catch after stepping over the boundary rope converted what would have been Brook’s dismissal into six runs.
  • Play was halted late on day four due to bad light and rain with India needing four wickets on the final day to draw the series 2-2.
