4th Test - Day 1 Stumps
India End Day on Top With Joe Root’s Wicket
Indian batsmen floundered once again but the wicket of Joe Root, who was bowled by Umesh Yadav for 21, kept them alive in the fourth Test of the ongoing series.
England went to stumps at 53/3 in response to India’s 191 in the first innings. They trail by 138 runs and have seven wickets in hand. India, thanks to half-centuries from Virat Kohli and Shardul Thakur managed to get close to 200. At 127/7, it seemed that England would dismiss India for below 150. However, Thakur, the medium-pace bowling all-rounder played audacious shots to chip in with 57 off 36 balls to give the total some modesty.
