A batting collapse saw India reeling at 58 for three at the close of play on day four of the fifth and final Test against England. The home side set India a target of 464 courtesy superlative centuries from Alastair Cook and Joe Root. KL Rahul was batting on 46 while Ajinkya Rahane was on 10 when play was called off. James Anderson scalped Shikhar Dhawan (1) and Cheteshwar Pujara (0) in the third over and then Indian captain Virat Kohli was sent back for a golden duck by Stuart Broad to leave India in trouble. You can watch video highlights here.

The 33-year-old became the fifth batsman in the history of the game to hit a ton both on debut and final game as Cook had also smashed a century in the second innings of his maiden Test, against India, in Nagpur in 2006. He also became the highest Test run-scorer among the left-handed batsmen as he went past Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara (12400), adding another achievement to his illustrious Test career with 12472 runs.  Harbhajan Singh Reacts to Alastair Cook’s Final Test Century, Remembers When He Dropped England Opener in the 90s

Resuming the post-lunch session at 243 for two, Cook and Root took England past the 300-run mark before being dismissed on successive deliveries in the 95th over. Incoming batsmen Jonny Bairstow (18) fell cheaply as a Mohammed Shami delivery took an inside edge and went on to hit the stumps.

Bairstow was followed by Jos Buttler, who departed without contributing. While looking for some quick runs, Buttler went down the track but offered a thick edge to Shami at backward point. For India, the debutant Vihari had excellent figures of 3/37 while Ravindra Jadeja posted 3/179.
