India vs England 4th Test Day 3 Cricket Match Live Score: Dhruv Jurel, Kuldeep Yadav will aim to take India closer to England’s first-innings total – The Times of India
IND vs ENG 4th Test Live Updates: Spinner Shoaib Bashir took four wickets to lead England’s bowling charge and put India on the back foot at 219/7 on day two of the fourth Test on Saturday.
The rookie off-spinner rattled the Indian reply to England’s first innings of 353 in a marathon spell of 31 overs unchanged spread over three sessions in Ranchi.
Wicketkeeper-batsman Dhruv Jurel, on 30, and Kuldeep Yadav, on 17, were batting at the close of play with an unbeaten stand of 42 but India still trail the visitors by 134 runs.
The in-form Yashasvi Jaiswal made 73 but Bashir bowled him after the left-hander attempted to defend a low ball that caught the toe of the bat and crashed into the stumps.
Bashir, who missed the opener due to a visa delay and is playing his second Test, was ably supported by two wickets from fellow spinner Tom Hartley.
Joe Root hit an unbeaten 122 for England, who trail 2-1 and are fighting to stay alive in the five-match series.
But the day belonged to Bashir, who came on to bowl in the ninth over of India’s innings and remained unchanged from his end until Root replaced him shortly before stumps. Read Less
