... DAY 4, SECOND SESSION ...

LUNCH! Joyful India take Lunch on DAY 4! Sessions do not define the Test match they say, but this session has gotten us very close to deciding where the match is going as India took 5 English wickets in the session. England right now are 194/6 after 42.4 overs and have been pushed on the backfoot in the second hour of the morning. Zak Crawley and Rehan Ahmed started well before Axar Patel sent back Rehan Ahmed. Zak Crawley went on to play a superb knock once again scorning 73 runs and keeping the innings together, but he was sent back too, thanks to a brilliant review by India in the final minutes before LUNCH. The England middle order was destroyed by Ravichandran Ashwin who now stands one wicket away from 500 TEST Wickets, getting rid of 3 England batters. Jasprit Bumrah was brilliant too in the first spell but came back even better in the second, dismissing Jonny Bairstow, another interesting review, which led us to an early LUNCH. England's last hope hangs on Ben Stokes who is now at the crease and has not faced a single ball, along with Ben Foakes, who hasn't done much with the bat yet, in the series. Ben Stokes has done this before for England and will be looking to back himself in pulling another howitzer. Right now, England needs 205 runs and India needs 4 wickets to win the Test match as players take LUNCH. Is the Test ending with another Ben Stokes classic? Or will the Indian bowlers finish things off in this session? Let's find out when we come back after Lunch.

It nipped back in sharply to trap Baristow in front and he looks gone for all money! Nothing on UltraEdge and it is clipping the leg stump on Ball Tracking. It is umpire's call and the on-field decision will stand. India go bang, bang just before Lunch and they find themselves in a commanding position! Bumrah stays from over the wicket and bowls it on a good length, tailing back in, on middle and leg, Jonny Bairstow stays leg side of the ball and opens himself up to access the off side.

All in readiness for action to commence on what promises to be a fascinating day of Test cricket! Just to reiterate, England require 332 more runs to secure a 2-0 lead in the series, while India are in pursuit of taking the remaining nine wickets to level the series. Rohit Sharma, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Jasprit Bumrah are doing the talking in the Indian huddle before they disperse to take their respective field positions. Also, Shubman Gill will not be taking the field on Day 4, having hurt his right index finger on the third day. Zak Crawley and Rehan Ahmed are all set to resume their innings for England. Jasprit Bumrah is at the top of his mark and he is raring to go. Here we go...

PITCH REPORT - Dinesh Karthik and Eoin Morgan are pitchside. Morgan says that there is a huge crack in that short of a good length area, and it is that exact crack from where Jasprit Bumrah got a couple of balls to keep low and shoot late on Day 3. Mentions that there is a spiderweb of cracks as we go towards the batter that will interest the Indian spinners. Karthik says that the cracks are fuller for the right-hander as well as the left-hander. Adds that the cracks are present right under the batter's eyes. Reckons that English batters might employ sweeps and reverse sweeps to tackle the Indian spinners.

On the other hand, England will fancy their chances of chasing this mountain of a target going into Day 4. On Day 3, it was all set up by James Anderson in the first half hour before the spinners came to the fore to not let the game drift away from them. Although the visitors lost Ben Duckett before the close of the play and there are doubts over Joe Root's participation due to a finger injury, England have ample firepower in the shed to get the remaining 332 runs. The first hour will be pivotal and could heavily influence the outcome of the Test. Who will blink first on Day 4? Join us for the ride to find out.

India's outing on Day 3 was headlined by Shubman Gill, but the rest of the batting unit's performances left a lot to be desired. At one stage in the game on the third day, they looked to be on course to take their lead over 400, but a bizarre passage of play after Tea saw their innings meander and eventually they were bowled out, setting England a target of 399. The hosts have the runs on the board but will still be wary of England's ability to pull off big chases. Given their efforts with the ball in the first inning, Rohit Sharma and his men start as slight favourites to win the Test from here, more so with the surface expected to deteriorate.

Hello and a warm welcome, folks, to our coverage of Day 4 of the second Test between India and England at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. The 'Moving Day' lived up to expectations as the game ebbed and flowed to leave us with all four results possible with two days remaining in the Test. Considering England's 'Bazball' approach, it will not be a surprise if the Test does not go into the fifth day and we get the result on Day 4 itself.

... DAY 4, SESSION 1 ...

Right then, that's all from our coverage of Day 3. The Test is tantalisingly poised, with two days remaining in the game. Except for the odd ball keeping low, there are no visible gremlins in the surface, and it is likely to get slower as the game progresses. If it behaves so, it should suit England, but if it starts keeping up and down consistently, it will have Jasprit Bumrah and India's spinners licking their lips. Day 4 will commence at 9.30 am IST (4 am GMT), but our build-up will begin much sooner. Till then, take care and goodbye!

India's centurion of the second inning, Shubman Gill is in for a chat. He says that it was a good effort today but they could have gotten more runs on the board. He talks about the early LBW review going in his favour which gave him confidence. He mentions that the wicket is not an easy one to bat on as the odd ball is keeping and some of them turning sharp. He ends by saying that his father comes to watch most of his games and he actually feels good when he is there watching. When asked about the situation of the game he responds by saying that it still looks 70-30 in favour of India but England have the batting to chase this score down Ends by saying that he feels that the wicket is going to play a huge role in that tomorrow.

With the new ball only 5 overs old, England's hopes for a good start to the day rested on the shoulders of James Anderson. Anderson made the new ball talk and accounted for both Indian openers. However, the English spinners failed to build on those twin scalps. As they have done throughout this Test, just as India were beginning to breathe freely, Tom Hartley and Rehan Ahmed combined well to strike in quick succession. After India dominated the first hour after Lunch, Ben Stokes used his smarts to set unorthodox fields to be rewarded with the wickets of the two set batters. In the third session, England tightened the screws even more to bowl out India out for 255. In their pursuit of 399 runs, England were helped to another good start by their openers. Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett mixed caution with aggression to put the Indian bowlers under pressure. However, Duckett could not see through till the close of play but Crawley along with Rehan Ahmed ensured that England went to Stumps with only one wicket down.

With a lead of 171 runs, India started Day 3 with their noses in front. It was a shaky start to 'Moving Day' for the hosts as Rohit Sharma departed, followed by the double centurion of the first innings, Yashasvi Jaiswal. Shubman Gill and Shreyas joined hands to forge a solid recovery. Iyer squandered yet another start, while Rajat Patidar also couldn't make a significant impact. Gill carried on his merry way and looked determined for a three-figure score. He found an able alley in Axar Patel, and the duo dominated the first hour after Lunch with authoritative batting. Gill brought up his third Test ton before he got out, while Axar fell five runs short of a fifty. After Tea, India went into their shell, and the conservative approach came back to haunt them. The hosts could only muster 28 runs in that passage and had to be content with a 398-run lead. With the ball, Jasprit Bumrah was miserly from his end but Mukesh Kumar failed to support him and leaked boundaries. Kuldeep Yadav gave away runs as well before Ravichandran Ashwin gave India the breakthrough they needed before the close of play.
