India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Legendary Indian spinner Anil Kumble shared his views about Bashir’s bowling partnership with Hartley before the start of the play on Day 3 of the 4th Test at Ranchi. With England applying pressure on the Indian batters, the former India skipper also credited skipper Ben Stokes for his field choices. Speaking to Jio Cinema during the Ranchi Test, the spin legend also dissected the dismissal of Mumbai batter Sarfaraz Khan.

“One is playing his fourth Test and the other his second, in that sense it’s been a fantastic effort from the two spinners (Shoaib Bashir and Tom Hartley). I thought Hartley played really well - Ben Stokes set some really interesting fields which didn’t allow the Indian batters to take singles and that’s one of the reasons why Sarfaraz (Khan) had to push. Just that ball before he got out, Stokes pushed the cover fielder back to point and then allowed Sarfaraz because nobody was getting any sort of momentum there. The delivery just kept low, he played the line of the ball and then it just came in with the arm and hit the stumps. So, yes overall, Hartley was very impressive. I think the reason he got Sarfaraz’s wicket was because he was looking for the single which was not there - every fielder was there, attacking and putting pressure. Building pressure actually gets you wickets, not the surface or anything else - you need to build the pressure from both ends,” Kumble said.

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Shoaib Bashir was not even born when Sachin Tendulkar-starrer Team India demolished Nasser Hussain's England at the ICC World Cup 2003. Bashir made his Test debut against India at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium this month. England added off-spinner Bashir as a like-for-like replacement for Jack Leach. He was named in England's final 16 for India in December. The spinner played only six first-class games before the call-up. Bashir was signed by Somerset ahead of the 2023 season. The youngster bagged six wickets against Afghanistan A when Brendon McCullum and Rob Key showed up in the UAE to watch the England Lions game.

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: England's Shoaib Bashir bagged four wickets and leaked 84 runs in the 1st India innings of the Ranchi Test match. Young Bashir got the better of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Rajat Patidar and Ravindra Jadeja to put England on top. With England hoping to extend its lead over India, legendary cricketer Anil Kumble shared his views about young Bashir after the spinner emerged as the pick of the bowlers.

“He (Shoaib Bashir) has been very impressive with the kind of lines he bowled. As an off-spinner, he has kept it slightly outside of the right-hander’s eye line. Very few spinners bowl over the stumps to right-handers these days, but he’s been very consistent. On this surface, he’s got the pace right and then you look at the length. I mean, it’s just fantastic to see - almost ninety percent in that area. The odd bowl will keep low and even if it’s normal bounce, on these kind of surfaces where batters expect the ball to keep low, it will look like it’s bounced a little more because you are always playing slightly lower,” Kumble told Jio Cinema.

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: When his family was reliant on his father's monthly pension, Akash Deep thought about giving up his dream of playing for India. He is the youngest among six siblings with three elder sisters. Before becoming a cricketer after his elder brother Dhiraj's demise, he used to rent dumpers near the Sone river at the Bihar-Jharkhand border. Akash Deep lost his brother and father Ramji Singh in the same year (2015). His late father, a former physical education teacher at a government school, never wanted him to become a cricketer. "If his father and brother were alive today, they would be brimming with joy. This is the life's most memorable day and only few are lucky to see it. I'm the proudest mom on this earth," Laduma Devi, Akash Deep's mother, told news agency PTI.

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: After announcing himself in Test cricket, pacer Akash Deep dedicated his stunning Test debut to his late father. The 27-year-old received his Test cap from coach Rahul Dravid. The Indian pacer is the youngest of six siblings. He lost his father and eldest brother in 2015. "I dedicate the win to my father because it was his dream that his son does something in life," he told reporters. “I couldn't do anything in his lifetime, so this performance is for my father. Every cricketer has one dream: to play for India in Tests. That was also my dream. I got my Test cap at a place near to my village as well as Bengal from where I play. My family is also here. It's an emotional feeling but there was just one thing going on my mind -- how to contribute to the team," he added.

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: With India resting Jasprit Bumrah in Ranchi, pacer Akash Deep became the fourth Indian player to receive a debut cap in the England Test series.

He joined Rajat Patidar, Sarfaraz Khan and wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel on the list of debutants for India in the England series. Pacer Akash Deep bagged three wickets on debut for the hosts. The fast bowler bagged the crucial wickets of Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope in the 1st innings.

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: England's Joe Root returned to scoring ways with a brilliant century against India on Day 1 of the 4th Test at Ranchi. Root registered his 31st Test century to rescue England after scoring just 77 runs in the first three games against India. Root batted for more than six hours and the former England skipper faced 274 balls. He now has 11,692 runs over 139 Tests for England.

"A really good day for England and a masterful hundred from England's best player in Joe Root," former captain Michael Vaughan told TNT Sports. “This was the day England played the situation perfectly,” he added.

"You don't keep a great player down and Joe Root is definitely a great player, arguably one of England's greatest if not England's greatest-ever batter. I saw a steely toughness in his eye today, whether he was stung by the criticism he received for some of the shots he has played or whether it's actually Joe himself wanted to contribute more," England's Nasser Hussain said on Sky Sports.

"This is the Joe Root mode that win you Test matches!" South African icon AB de Villiers mentioned on X, formerly known as Twitter. "He's probably the only bloke in our team who could have done that knock. He's that good, he's our best player and he's stepped up when we needed him to," Root's teammate Zak Crawley added.

Former England skipper Alastair Cook was all praise for Joe Root after his Bazball-defying century in the 4th Test against India at Ranchi. England were 112 for 5 when a Root ton fired Ben Stokes and Co. to a healthy 1st innings total in MS Dhoni's den. Root was slammed by English media for his reverse lap against Jasprit Bumrah in the previous game. England were bundled for 319 while chasing 445 in the third Test at Rajkot.

"When you see someone go through a little trouble, it's always great to see them out the other end. When great players don't score runs it's only a matter of time until they do," Cook told TNT Sport after day 1 on Friday. “What Joe Root did today (Friday) was go back to basics. This is a clip of someone with the shots you'd expect Joe Root to play (Cook was speaking while a video of Root's innings was being played). All the talk about the reverse scoop being unusual, this is a very typical Joe innings. Slightly slower than normal but the tempo and his rhythm of batting is what makes him stand out. When he's in fine flow he's got such a nice easy way about him, Rohit (Sharma)-like. Pure and utter class, great player of spin and he has all the options covered."

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Joe Root was under the pump after the former England skipper extended his low-scoring run in the first three Tests of the bilateral series against India. With England trailing India 2-1 in the five-game saga in Ranchi, under-fire Root responded to his critics with a brilliant century. Root slammed his 31st Test ton to help England 353 in the 1st innings. "It was nice to finally get some runs in this series," said Root, who has 11,692 runs over 139 Tests, told reporters. "It felt like it's been a long time coming, it's been a lean series individually for me. You pride yourself as a senior player... to try and make contributions that put you in positions to win games," he added.

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: England spinner Jack Leach will undergo surgery following a knee injury. The injury setback ruled him out of the 4th Test between India and England in Ranchi. Leach injured himself while fielding for England in the Test series opener against India at Hyderabad. "I'm going to have an operation to get the rest of the swelling out because it's not budging," Leach told BBC Radio 5 Live. "It was quite an unfortunate one. It was the second ball of the first innings in the field, so that whole game I was playing with this knee problem. I obviously knocked it a few times throughout that game and it has just created a long period of recovery. I need to get the operation done and then hopefully I can get back to playing cricket."

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Bowling coach Mhambrey wants batters Jurel and Kuldeep to reduce India's deficit on Day 3 of the 4th Test at Ranchi. Speaking to reporters after the end of the day's play yesterday, he also lauded the bowling performances of Bashir and Hartley. "We have two set batters at the crease, who have applied themselves well and put on 40-odd runs together. The important thing is to get as close to their score. That's the first step, and then we'll assess tomorrow how close we can get the target (England's first innings score). Regardless of the number, mentally we need to prepare to chase. We need to bat well in the second innings, starting with this partnership. We need to bat better," Mhambrey said.

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Paras Mhambrey, who is India's bowling coach, has observed that the Ranchi pitch is not a rank turner. However, the Indian bowling coach did not expect the play to be this slow on the second day of the 4th Test. "Considering the nature of the games we've had previously here, the wicket tends to get slower as the day progresses," Mhambrey told reporters after the second day's play. "Historically, they slow down and play on the lower side. We expected that, but honestly, we didn't anticipate it playing so low on the second day itself. The variable bounce was unexpected. As of now, I wouldn't call it as a rank-turner; it's just that the bounce is low, making batting a bit challenging. I don't think there were too many balls that spun sharply or were unplayable," he added.

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal played a stellar knock of 73 off 117 balls to lead the fightback of the hosts on Day 2 of the 4th Test at Ranchi.

Hosts India are still trailing by 134 runs.

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: Off-spinner Shoaib Bashir announced himself in India by picking up four wickets as England extended its dominance on Day 3 of the ongoing 4th Test in Ranchi. Bashir bagged four wickets and leaked 84 runs while left-arm spinner Tom Hartley picked up 2-47 to reduce India to 219-7 in 73 overs of its innings. Hosts India trail England by 134 runs.

India vs England Live Cricket Score 4th Test, IND vs ENG: That'd be it from Day 2 of the fourth Test. England comfortably ahead of India despite the gritty partnership between Jurel and Kuldeep. With the pitch now assisting the spinners, displaying signs of turn and uneven bounce, batting has become treacherous. India, however, might rue not adopting a more aggressive approach with the bat.
