Stumps, Day 1 (IND 24/1 after 12 overs; trail by 181 runs)
England were simply outplayed here. There were no demons in the pitch like the third Test but the England batters didn’t show good application. India dominated all the three sessions of the day. 205 is all the visitors could manage. Once again, spin did the trick for the hosts.
That’s it from us today, but do join us tomorrow as we’ll bring you the live updates from Day 2 of the fourth Test. See you!
16:59 (IST)
After 12 overs, IND 24/1 (Rohit 8, Pujara 15)
Leach will bowl the final over of the day. Pujara collects a double as he cuts the third delivery between cover and point. The Saurashtra batsman gets beaten off the last delivery. Just two of the over.
16:53 (IST)
After 11 overs, IND 22/1 ( Rohit 8, Pujara 13)
Bowling change as Dom Bess comes into the attack. After conceding a single off the first, Bess oversteps off the next. The off spinner gets extra bounce off the last and beats Rohit. Four runs off the over, courtesy three singles and a no-ball.
16:48 (IST)
After 10 overs, IND 18/1 ( Rohit 7, Pujara 11)
Leach continues. Pujara once again makes use of his feet, collects a brace off the first after squeezing the ball behind square. Another brace in the over off the fourth, this time from the blade of Rohit, who edges it past the slip fielder. Five runs off the over.
16:44 (IST)
After 9 overs, IND 13/1 ( Rohit 5, Pujara 8)
Fifth maiden on the trot for Anderson as Rohit continues to adopt the risk-free approach against the seamer. Fabulous spell of bowling, he’s not giving any freebies whatsoever.
16:42 (IST)
After 8 overs, IND 13/1 ( Rohit 5, Pujara 8)
Leach into his second over. Pujara comes down the track off the first two deliveries, collecting a brace off the first after clipping the ball towards the on side. The left arm spinner pitches the last delivery short, Pujara waits for it on the backfoot, pierces the gap on the off side and collects a four.
16:40 (IST)
FOUR! Short from Leach, Pujara waits on the backfoot and steers the ball past short third for a boundary.
16:36 (IST)
After 7 overs, IND 7/1 ( Rohit 5, Pujara 2)
Anderson continues from one end. Extracts extra bounce from the surface off the fourth which catches Rohit off guard. The Mumbai batsman was looking to play it on the rise. That apart, Rohit nicely got behind the line of the ball in the over. Fourth maiden on the trot for Anderson, he’s been consistent and tight.
16:30 (IST)
After 6 overs, IND 7/1 ( Rohit 5, Pujara 2)
Time for spin as Leach comes into the attack in the sixth over. After two dots, Rohit nudges the ball towards the off side for a single. Pujara collects a brace after clipping the fourth delivery towards the on side. Three runs off the over.
16:26 (IST)
After 5 overs, IND 4/1 ( Rohit 4, Pujara 0)
Anderson continues. Pujara was in two minds whether to play or leave the final delivery but eventually opted to leave that one. Another maiden for England as the Saurashtra batsman either leaves or defends.
16:21 (IST)
After 4 overs, IND 4/1 ( Rohit 4, Pujara 0)
Stokes continues. Angling into Rohit’s pads, the fourth delivery, he plays well-timed flick shot but straight to the fielder at mid-wicket. Another maiden, second on the trot for the visitors. As someone who likes to play his shots, Rohit’s approaching the game with caution and playing as per the merit of the ball.
16:17 (IST)
After 3 overs, IND 4/1 ( Rohit 4, Pujara 0)
Second maiden on the trot for Anderson as Pujara carefully defends the six deliveries. Another brilliant over from the pacer.
16:15 (IST)
After 2 overs, IND 4/1 ( Rohit 4, Pujara 0)
Stokes comes into the attack. Keeps it tight, barring the fourth delivery that went past the gully fielder for a boundary.
16:12 (IST)
FOUR! Rohit punches the ball, off the outer half off the bat, and well past the gully fielder for a boundary.
16:09 (IST)
After 1 over, IND 0/1 ( Rohit 0, Pujara 0)
Anderson begins the proceedings for the visitors. After two consecutive dots, Anderson gets the third delivery to hold its line, the ball hitting Gill’s pads. India opt for a review, but a failed one eventually. Great start for England, a wicket maiden.
16:05 (IST)
OUT! First breakthrough for England in the first over itself. Anderson is always lethal with the new ball, this time, the pacer traps Gill LBW. Shubman Gill lbw b Anderson 0(3)
16:02 (IST)
Shubman and Rohit, the Indian openers, are out in the middle. Anderson with the new ball for England. Interesting to see how the Indian batsmen fare here.
16:01 (IST)
Low scores galore
Six of England's 25 lowest Test scores in India (all out) have been in this series. #INDvENG

Opportunity missed by England after winning toss
That was pretty feeble from England, on the best batting surface since the first Test. Successive middle-order partnerships of 48, 43 and 45 showed batsmen can prosper on this.

'Poor batting'
England Can’t blame the pitch this time. Being bowled out for 205 in five hours on a decent first day pitch is simply poor batting. India must consolidate by batting through remaining overs without too much risk

After 75.5 overs, ENG 205 (Anderson 10)
205 is what England have managed. Root and Co certainly won’t be happy with that. A modest first innings total for England after opting to bat first.
Axar missing out on another five-for, Ashwin picks up three too. Once again, the spinners doing the bulk of the damage. But the pacers, especially Siraj, chipped in too. The Indian openers will take guard soon. See you after a short break!
15:51 (IST)
OUT! Ashwin picks up his third wicket as Leach gets trapped LBW. Lost review for England there.
England have been bundled out for 205.
15:48 (IST)
After 75 overs, ENG 205/9 ( Anderson 10, Leach 7)
Axar into his 26th over. England have breached the 200-run mark but it’s only a matter of time with two tailenders in the middle. Just two runs off the over.
15:46 (IST)
After 74 overs, ENG 203/9 ( Anderson 9, Leach 6)
Ashwin continues. Bowls a full toss to Leach off the fourth, the left hander capitalises on it, collects a boundary. Five runs off the over.
15:44 (IST)
FOUR! Juicy full toss from Ashwin and Leach drives it through the covers.
15:43 (IST)
After 73 overs, ENG 198/9 ( Anderson 8, Leach 2)
Seven runs off Axar’s 25th over, including a boundary from the blade of Axar, who unleashed the reverse sweep off the fourth.
15:41 (IST)
FOUR! Anderson nails the reverse-sweep. Great connection on that one.
15:40 (IST)
After 72 overs, ENG 191/9 ( Anderson 1, Leach 2)
Ashwin continues. Quiet over from Ashwin, with Leach and Anderson collecting a single each off the second and fifth deliveries. Remember, Axar is on the cusp of another five-for.
15:40 (IST)
Test cricket has been a breeze for Axar!
Wickets aplenty !! 5-fers, 10 fers !! @akshar2026 will be thinking what’s the big deal about test cricket #DoddaMathu#INDvENG

After 71 overs, ENG 189/9 ( Anderson 0, Leach 1)
Axar into his 24th over. Premeditated charge from Lawrence off the first, he was nowhere near the pitch of the ball and played against the turn. Pant made no mistake and dislodged the bails in a jiffy. The left arm spinner picks up another wicket off the fourth as he traps Bess LBW. Superb bowling by Axar, two wickets and just one run in that over.
15:35 (IST)
OUT! Second wicket in the over. This time, Axar traps Bess LBW. Bess opted for a review immediately but it was eventually a lost cause. Dom Bess lbw b Axar 3(16)
15:32 (IST)
OUT! STUMPED! Lawrence was looking positive. Just looks to take the charge to Axar, gets beaten and Pant completes the formalities behind the stumps. Daniel Lawrence st Pant b Axar 46(74)
15:30 (IST)
After 70 overs, ENG 188/7 (Bess 3, Lawrence 46)
Lawrence dances down the track, whacks it straight. Ashwin does well to get a hand to it, a tough chance on that occasion. Five runs off the over. Lawrence looks positive at the crease and is just four runs shy of his half century.
15:29 (IST)
FOUR! Lawrence charges down the track and smokes it down the ground for a boundary.
15:26 (IST)
After 69 overs, ENG 183/7 (Bess 3, Lawrence 41)
Axar into his 23rd over. Starts off with a short one to Lawrence, who collects a boundary after playing the pull shot. Five runs off the over.
15:24 (IST)
FOUR! Lawrence goes on the backfoot and pulls it behind square for a one-bounce four.
15:23 (IST)
After 68 overs, ENG 178/7 (Bess 3, Lawrence 36)

15:20 (IST)
After 67 overs, ENG 174/7 (Bess 0, Lawrence 35)
365 Scores Football
Axar continues. Kohli puts in dive and saves a certain boundary off the first at cover, just a double for Lawrence there. Axar nearly picks up another wicket off the last, would have been another unusual dismissal. It seemed that the ball hit Gill’s boot at short leg and bounced towards Pant but umpire said that some dust took off the surface and the ball landed just before Gill’s boot. Four runs and a wicket off the over.
15:15 (IST)
Not good news for the visitors.
England's chances of winning this Test have now slipped to just 18%, according to WinViz. #INDvENG

After 66 overs, ENG 170/7 (Bess 0, Lawrence 31)
Ashwin into his 15th over. The off-spinner picks up his second wicket as Foakes hands a catch to Rahane at first slip. England in all sorts of trouble here. Bess joins Lawrence at the crease. Successful over for India, one run and a wicket off it.
15:10 (IST)

15:00 (IST)
After 62 overs, ENG 167/6 (Foakes 1, Lawrence 28)
Ashwin continues. Beats Pope off the second and then dismisses the right-hander off the next. The inside edge hits Pope on the back pad and carries straight to Gill at short leg.

14:56 (IST)

India vs England Live Score, Live Cricket Score, 4th Test at Motera Live Updates: Stumps, Day 1 (IND 24/1 after 12 overs; trail by 181 runs) — England were simply outplayed here. There were no demons in the pitch like the third Test but the England batters didn’t show good application. India dominated all three sessions of the day. 205 is all the visitors could manage. Once again, spin did the trick for the hosts. That’s it from us today, but do join us tomorrow as we’ll bring you the live updates from Day 2 of the fourth Test. See you!
England opened the four-Test series with a 227-run victory. India rallied to level it in Chennai with a 317-run victory and won the third Test by 10 wickets, on a spin-friendly wicket at Ahmedabad where Axar Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin dominated.
England captain Joe Root is confident his team can level the series.
“We’ve got all the ingredients, all the pieces and all the skills to exploit and succeed in these conditions,” Root said. “It is important we harness that, have it in the front of our mind and be a bit braver actually; play with a little bit more freedom.

AP“It’s having that confidence to play the ball in front of you, not having the baggage from the previous delivery, not over-thinking the pitch, trying to see things for what they are. You need to be able to put pressure back on the bowlers.”
Root said the decision to go in with four seamers in the day-nighter in the third Test was an error in judgment.
“You look at the side for the last match and we got that wrong, we read the pitch wrong in terms of the way we selected the team,' he said. 'We didn’t envisage it would spin as much. If the pitch is anything like the last one of course Dom (Bess) would be a fantastic option on this surface.”
India has not lost two Tests in a home series since 2012, when England won.
“You look at India’s record at home in recent times and it’s incredible,” Root said. “So, for us to come away with a drawn series would be a really good achievement, especially off the back of the last two games.
“It would be a brilliant achievement to leave here 2-all. It would be a monumental effort from this group of players. So there’s loads to play for.”
India needs a series win to advance to the final and prevent a final between New Zealand and Australia.
