LUNCH - DAY 4

India 463-5 (135 ovs) vs England 477 | Scorecard

Leg-spinner Adil Rashid to bowl the final over of the session. Two singles from the first two balls before Karun plays a nice drive through the covers for a four and blocks the rest of the over.

India are in the driver's seat at the moment, as they reach 463 for five at lunch on Day 4, trailing England by just 14 runs.

A memorable morning session Karun, who stroked his maiden Test century, and finished unbeaten on 122 at the lunch break, while Ashwin made nine.

Vijay was the only wicket to fall in the session, trapped leg before wicket by debutant Dawson for 29.

The session belonged to India as they scored 72 runs in 27 overs, while losing just one wicket.

India would be looking to continue batting for the next two sessions and build a sizeable lead by end of play and put some pressure on England on the final day.
