It has been India's day today with the hosts now favourites to win this Test. At the start of the day, things did not look too good for India with Dhruv Jurel and Kuldeep Yadav out in the middle. But the two showed excellent composure and maturity to take India as close as possible to England's total. India eventually fell short of England's total by just 46 runs. The bowlers then came out with a mission to knock over England for as less as they could and exactly that happened. Ravichandran Ashwin had a sensational day, taking a five-wicket haul and went past Anil Kumble's tally of most wickets in India. Barring Crawley (60), no other English batter could be amongst the runs and eventually, they were bundled for just 145 runs in what was a dismal show with the bat. Kuldeep Yadav also registered his best figures against England (4/22) and later, Rohit Sharma along with Yashasvi Jaiswal ensured that India finished Day 3 without losing any wickets. With 152 runs to get and 10 wickets in hand, this game is India's to lose now.

India have come out to bat with Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal looking to ensure that they stay together at the crease by the end of the day's play. Rohit has started off in fine fashion, hitting two consecutive boundaries off Tom Hartley's bowling.

 OUT! Ravichandran Ashwin has produced yet another two-wicket burst and England have been bowled out for just 145 runs! India need 192 runs to win the fourth Test and take an unassailable 3-1 lead. Meanwhile, it is yet another fifer for Ashwin, his 35th in Test cricket.

OUT! Ravichandran Ashwin has produced yet another wicket for India as he takes a simple catch off his own bowling to dismiss Ben Foakes. He has four wickets now and India are on the verge of wrapping up this innings. Ben Foakes c and b Ravichandran Ashwin 17(76)

OUT! One more wicket for India and it is Kuldeep Yadav again, who now has claimed four wickets in this innings! Ollie Robinson was beaten by the ball which struck him on his pads as he offered a defensive shot and it looked pretty plumb, although replays showed it was umpire's call, which was out.

OUT! Another one bites the dust and it is Tom Hartley, who finds the fielder in the deep while attempting to play a big shot off Kuldeep Yadav's bowling. Sarfaraz Khan takes a well-judged catch there. Tom Hartley c Sarfaraz Khan b Kuldeep Yadav 7(25)

And that would be tea on Day 3. It has been a very interesting session for both teams with India clearly coming out on top. Ravichandran Ashwin took three wickets while Kuldeep Yadav had two to his name as England have lost their half their side. England are still 166 ahead though.

England find themselves in a pretty strong position after a fascinating display on Day 2 of the fourth Test match. They could not as many runs as they would have wanted to their overnight total and were bowled out in the first session itself. India would have been expected to bounce back strong and hard with the bat but that did not happen. James Anderson got Rohit Sharma early and after an 82-run partnership, Shoaib Bashir trapped Shubman Gill in front of the stumps. From 112/2, India were reduced to 161/5 with Bashir doing the bulk of the damage, running through India's middle order. The Ravindra Jadeja experiment at number five did not work this time as after hitting two sixes, the southpaw was caught at short leg. Sarfaraz Khan's dismissal dumped India into further misery and Ravichandran Ashwin too could not add much to India's score. Dhruv Jurel and Kuldeep Yadav joined forces to show some kind of resistance which somewhat seemed to arrest the slide and helped India see out the day's play without further damage. India vs England, 4th Test 2024 Day 3 Free Live Streaming Online: How To Watch IND vs ENG Cricket Match Live Telecast on TV?

For England, it would all be about striking early on Day 3. Bashir, who has four wickets in the bag already, would be gunning for a maiden five-wicket haul in First Class cricket and undoubtedly it would be a massive achievement for a youngster like him, who has had very little experience whatsoever before making his Test debut. Tom Hartley has also been impressive with two wickets so far and he along with Bashir bowling in tandem can spell serious trouble for India who are in pursuit of more 134 runs. Not to forget Anderson, who helped England see the back of the Indian captain. He is three wickets away from becoming the first-ever pacer in Test cricket to claim 700 wickets. Ranchi Weather and Rain Forecast: Here’s How Weather Will Behave On Day 3 of IND vs ENG 4th Test 2024.

India would want the 42-run partnership between Jurel and Kuldeep to flourish. Both these players will look to take India as close as possible to the English total with the prospect of them overhauling the total being something that looks pretty difficult at this point. But nothing can ruled out in cricket and India can still make a comeback in this encounter.
