England 2nd inns: 161-3 (79 ovs)

India face a near impossible task as they try to push for a series levelling victory on the final day of the fourth and final Test in Nagpur, on Monday.

England are comfortably placed at 161 for three in their second innings for an overall lead of 165. The visitors lead 2-1 and will look to bat for as long as possible to take the match towards a draw which will give them their first series win in India in 27 years.

On the other hand, India will be looking to claim a few early wickets and try to push for a victory. But their task won't be easy on a slow low pitch offering nothing for the bowlers, either pacers or spinners.
