India vs England 4th Test - Day 1

1st Innings:

ENG 205 all out

England were bowled out for 205 on the first day of the fourth and final Test against India at the Motera Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday.

Opting to bat first, England reached 74/3 at lunch on the opening day after losing three quick wickets in the first session. Ben Stokes (55) and Daniel Lawrence (46) led the charge for the visitors in the second and third sessions but Axar Patel (4/68) and Ravichandran Ashwin’s (3/47) combined effort ended England’s misery in their 76th over.

IND 4/1 (4 ov)

Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma opened the innings for India, while James Anderson opened the attack. After two fuller deliveries, the veteran pacer gets his reward on the third ball. Gill was too slow to defend the delivery and he gets out on a LBW! IND: 0/1 (0.3 overs)
