India 391-4 (108 ovs) vs England 477 | Scorecard


Welcome to the coverage of Day 4 of the fifth and final Test between India and England in Chennai, on Monday.

India opener KL Rahul fell agonisingly short of his maiden Test double century as he helped his team to 391 for four in a robust reply to England's first innings total of 477 on the third day.

The elegant right-hander made 199 before throwing his wicket away and squatting at the crease, head-in-hands, after the anti-climactic end to a stellar 311-ball knock.

India, who have taken an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series, finished day three at the M A Chidambaram Stadium, on course for a first-innings lead.

Karun Nair was batting on 71, his maiden Test fifty, at stumps with Murali Vijay, who dropped down the order following a shoulder injury, on 17 at the other end.

They would be hoping to continue their solid batting performance on Day 4 and look to take a good enough lead which would help them push for victory on the final day.
