IND 96/4 (30.5 ov, Shreyas Iyer 0*, KL Rahul 22*, Joe Root 0/24) – Live – India vs England, England tour of India 2024, 1st Test Match Live Score, Summary

2:30 p.m. Hello again everyone. Thank you, Alain. Rahul and the promoted Axar kept the English spinners at bay and settled India's innings. India need 136 runs, England need seven wickets. Hartley, the left-arm spinner, will resume proceedings after the tea break.

Belper John: “The difference between the teams is starting to look like Bumrah. Mark Wood is giving it his all, but he can't seem to move the ball to create enough chances. He has no chance of getting a wicket (see -you what did I do there?).” — Ha! Let's see if it works

2:15 p.m.: India know they are in a game. KL Rahul is emerging as the key man in this chase, having top-scored in the first innings, and this little stand with Axar Patel helped stabilize things after being 63 for 3. Tom 'The Hitman' Hartley collected all three wickets for autumn, none greater than hitman and Indian captain Rohit Sharma. Ben Stokes continued to turn things around and England gave themselves more than a puncher's chance, even with their senior limping off. Join Deiva again in 15

Root to Rahul, no run, full and floated on off stump, met with a solid forefoot block – and it will be teawith the pot bubbling well
