England 2nd inns: 17-0 (13 ovs)


One of the most dull and boring sessions in Test cricket as a total of 46 runs were scored in 25.5 overs. There was only one boundary in the session and that too came off an edge when Compton tried to drive Ashwin.

England crawled to 17 for no loss in 13 overs at the lunch break on Day 4.

Cook managed just a single from 46 balls, while Compton made 14 from 33 balls.

Today being a Sunday, there is a decent crowd inside the stadium but they must have all fallen to sleep now.

If you have just tuned-in, you haven't missed much! It seems India looked consigned to the idea of the match slowly heading towards a dull and dreary draw, making no real effort to attack or take wickets.

Ojha bowling with just a leg slip. Compton brings about a sea of fresh air as he clips Ojha on the leg side for two runs before a single to the covers.

For a change Ashwin, bowling round the wicket, bowls a slow flighted delivery that Compton tries to drive but gets an edge and it flies past the first slip fielder for a four, the first boundary of the England innings and also the first of the day.

So a boundary finally on Day 4, after a long wait of 25 overs.
