July 13, 2014 15:35

Ind 167-3 (48 ovs) & 457 vs Eng 496 | Scorecard

India will resume on the fifth and final day on 167 for three in 48 overs with a lead to 128 runs.

Virat Kohli (8) and Ajinkya Rahane (18) will look to bat out the first session and avoid any dramas on the final day.

Murali Vijay (52), who made a century in the first innings, and Cheteshwar Pujara (55) both fell in the last hour on Day 4 to part-timer off-spinner Moeen Ali.

But the fourth day belonged to England pair Joe Root and James Anderson, who broke the all-time Test record for a 10th-wicket partnership on Saturday.

The home team took an unlikely 39-run lead on first innings after Root and Anderson combined for a remarkable stand of 198, beating the previous test best by 35, to lead their side to a total of 496.
