IND vs ENG Highlights, 4th Test Day 4: Jurel, Gill take India to five-wicket win

​

IND vs ENG, 4th Test: India records 17th consecutive series win at home

India’s last series defeat at home came all the way back in 2012 when England won 2-1.

A valiiant display by the young duo of Jurel and Gill. They put up 72 runs for the sixth wicket to bail their side out from choppy waters. England fought hard, made a contest out of this one but 192 proved insufficient for stopping India.

WTC 2023-25 Points Table Update: India extends lead at 2nd place after IND vs ENG 4th Test

India took an unassailable 3-1 lead in the Anthony de Mello series after defeating England by five wickets in the fourth Test in Ranchi.

Hartley continues. Short ball and Jurel pulls it towards mid wicket for FOUR! Just two more needed now for India. All over! Jurel pushes towards square leg and takes a double. 

India wins by five wickets. Fitting that Jurel hit the winning runs. Great Test match for the youngster. 

SIX! Gill goes downtown. Brilliant use of the feet to pack the ball beyond the ropes. SIX more! This one is over mid wicket. Fifty for Shubman Gill. Takes a single two balls later. Another single on the last ball makes it 14 runs off the over. 

Gill against Hartley. Drives the fourth delivery to long off; one run. Jurel gets a leading edge while trying a flick on the on side. It flies wide of the bowler allowing him a single. Gill with another gentle tap down the ground for a run.

A maiden over from Bashir.

Bashir to continue. Jurel collects a couple with a clip through deep mid wicket. A single to long on on the fifth delivery.

Hartley into the attack now. Gill flicks the second ball to mid wicket for a single. Jurel gets his bat down on a relatively low delivery, and as the ball scampers away through cover, he runs one.

Another two runs from that Bashir over. India now needs 29 runs more to win. Is there a twist in the tale now? 

Joe Root into the attack now. Two singles in the first two balls. Jurel gets an outside edge and takes a double. Slight misfield by the fielder at first slip. And another single on the fourth ball. Five runs off the over. 

India needs 38 runs more. Gill takes a single on the second ball. Bashir a tad too short in this over, trying to bring the cracks into play. 

These two have been very good in running between the wickets so far. They have made sure the rotation of strike hasn’t stopped. 

Bashir makes a mistake. Too full way outside off and Jurel beautifully drives towards covers where there is no fielder patrolling. Four runs after 185 balls. 

Dhruv and Gill have been able to rotate strike so far. Despite tight bowling, the singles are there to be taken. Four runs off the over. 

Gill and Jurel add two more runs to the tally in this Bashir over. India needs 56 runs more. 

Jurel tries to go over cover, gets a thick outside edge the ball lands just before the fielder at short third! He defends the next four balls safely and takes a single on the last ball. 

Not a lot of balls have misbehaved this morning. A few from Hartley though have kept low, beating the outside edge of right handers. 

Jurel looking to play positively here. Trying not to get stuck. Both Gill and Jurel using their feet to play the ball - that has been the case throughout the innings by Indian batters. 

Thick outside off Jurel’s bat and India adds two more runs to the tally. Jurel then punches Hartley off the backfoot on the next ball and takes another double. An appeal for LBW on the last ball against Gill but not convincing enough. 

Bashir from the other end. GONE!! Jadeja chips a low full toss straight to midwicket!! Easiest of dismissals and England is pumped. 

Ravindra Jadeja c Bairstow b Shoaib Bashir 4. Sarfaraz Khan has a task on his hands now.

England celebrates a dismissal against Sarfaraz as well on the very first ball! A front foot defense that wasn’t executed well, an inside edge straight to short leg. India loses two in two. Umpire wasn’t interested earlier but after review, he had to reverse his decision. 

Sarfaraz Khan c Pope b Shoaib Bashir 0. Dhruv Jurel at the crease now.

Hat-trick ball for Bashir. Jurel survives! He was beaten though. What a start for England in this session. Takes a single on his third ball. 

Hartley begins, Gill to face. Both Gill and Jadeja take a single each in the over. 

This could be the session where we will get the result of this match. 74 runs for India, seven wickets for England. 

India was on cruise mode until it wasn’t. Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal scored runs with ease in the first half an hour of the morning session. However, a mini-collapse, which started with a msicued heave from Jaiswal, saw India lose three wickets in a flurry, pulling England right back into contention. Shubman Gill and Ravindra Jadeja took it on themselves to arrest the slide, even if that meant getting runs at a premium. India is still 74 runs away and better placed to win this contest against this high-on-morale England side.

Bashir for the final over before Lunch. He pitches the second one too short and Gill promptly pulls but there is a man behind square to keep that down to just one.

A change in bowling, Root back. Jadeja on strike after two overs. A soft tap to mid on for a single. Gill clips a delivery on the leg stump line to add one run.

Bashir to Gill. The ball spins and beats Gill’s defence. It strikes the pad and while the fielders are fierce in their appeal, Bashir knows it is going down leg. Another maiden over.

Hartley to Gill. Two catching cover fielders in place to prevent Gill from playing that expansive front-footed drive. Gill pokes the final delivery through the vacant mid wicket area for a single.

Bashir to Jadeja. A maiden over. The fourth delivery sticks on to the surface and keeps dangerously low. Jadeja is with quick hand movement pops his bat in the way to prevent a wicket.

Hartley to Gill, drives the first ball through covers to add two runs to India’s score. 

Bashir to continue. Gill waits for this delivery outside off and then dabs at it to beat the slip fielder and pick three. NEARLY! Jadeja gets his stride out to defend a good length delivery but it turns sharply. It’s just about enough to beat the edge. Two more singles from the over.

Gill to face Hartley. He clips the fourth ball through mid wicket to pocket a single. That’s the only run from the over.

Bashir to Jadeja. The bowler persists with the line outside the off stump, and the ball shoots off on a couple of occassion, beating Jadeja’s outside edge. A maiden over.

Gill against Hartley. A quick single to mid on for Gill off the third delivery. Four byes as Hartley hits a crack and the turn takes the ball way down leg side. Ravindra Jadeja swipes the final delivery to deep mid wicket to get off the mark.

Gill uses his feet to drive the first ball from Bashir down to long off. 100 up for India. WICKET! Caught at short leg. The ball springs up from a length and takes the inside edge. Ollie Pope with a brilliant diving catch. England is right back in the contest.

Rajat Patidar c Pope b Bashir 0 (6)

WICKET! Hartley gets Rohit. The Indian captain tries to walk out to get to the pitch, as he as done so often this morning. But Hartley cleverly pulls his length back, and extracts turn too. This takes the ball away from Rohit and Ben Foakes does the rest behind the stumps. 

Rohit Sharma st Foakes b Hartley 55 (81)

Rajat Patidar at No. 4. Four dot balls to begin his stay at the crease.

Bashir to Gill. Appeal for leg before. Gill attempts a sweep at a delivery spins and keeps low. But the umpire denies, considering the ball squared up a little too much. One leg bye for Gill. Rohit walks out to get to the pitch and push the ball to long on for a single.

Hartley to continue. Rohit cuts the second delivery to deep cover for one run. Gill gets to the pitch of the last ball and sends it towards long on for the second run from the over.

Gill on strike against Bashir. Gill steps out and hits with power down through mid off. Dom Lawrence misfields which allows the batters to run one. Rohit clips the fifth delivery to backward square leg for another run.

Gill is taking his time here. India now needs less than 100 runs to win. 

Only one over from Root and Hartley is back. Rohit cuts, takes a double, and gets to his fifty in 69 balls. Three runs off the over. 

Change of ends for Bashir. Interesting Gill used his feet right from the ball one and Rohit too has been very keen on coming down the track to play the ball. 

Now Joe Root into the attack, replacing Bashir. OUT! Jaiswal is gone. He looked to play an inside out off the fuller ball, gets a thick outside edge and Anderson grabs a great diving catch at backward point. 

Yashasvi Jaiswal c Anderson b Root 37. Shubman Gill at the crease now.

Gill takes a single on the second ball. 

Hartley continues. First ball that kept low today. Rohit plays it safely. Just a single in that over. 

The first 30 minutes hasn’t seen the ball misbehave much. Runs are coming and the batters have been in control for the most part. Jaiswal sweeps Bashir very fine and gets another boundary. Wasn’t in full control of that shot though. Now Jaiswal gets some width and he cuts it past point for four. 

Tom Hartley replaces Anderson. An appeal by England against Jaiswal for LBW. Jaiswal came down the track and the ball spun into him. Umpire thinks he come forward too much. England has reviewed. There’s a faint inside edge and the decision stays. Jaiswal takes out his reverse sweep two balls later and gets a boundary! 

Rohit takes out his sweep against Bashir and gets a boundary! Hit in the air and with perfection.

A very quick call by Jaiswal from the non-strikers’ end and Rohit responds very to the call. He’s safe though. Plenty of single taking opportunities on offer in this over. Five runs off the over. 

Rohit Sharma completed his 9000 First Class runs during the over.

Bashir induces a thick outside edge off Jaiswal’s bat which goes past first slip. Anderson gives it a chase but can’t stop it. Four runs. 

Just a hint of swing since the ball is still 10 overs new. SIX! Rohit gets one in his arc, swinging into him and he picks it up towards midwicket for a maximum. 

Shoaib Bashir from the other end. He will have a long day today. Attacking the stumps right from the start. Rohit tucks one away towards fine leg and batters run three. 

James Anderson to start the proceedings. Rohit Sharma defends the first ball. Plenty of cracks on the pitch but the first five balls have come on nicely onto the bat. A maiden. 

England team in a huddle. The visitors need 10 wickets. India needs 152 runs more to win. An exciting day ahead. 

It looks awful. The cracks are bigger and it is quite abrasive. But it has played better. England needs to hit these cracks consistently. But the middle part of the pitch is still good and the ball is not misbehaving.

The Indian spin trio of R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav claimed all 10 wickets in England’s second innings on Day 3. Here is Pranay Rajiv taking you through how they operated on Sunday:
