India 67-4 (22 ovs); Target to win: 194 | Scorecard
Anderson comes back into the attack, with an hour for stumps including the half an hour extra to complete the unfinished quota of overs for the day.
Kohli takes a big stride forward and guides a wide delivery from Anderson through the covers for three runs.
In the next over, Curran gets one to go straight through as Kohli is beaten trying to defend.
The next ball comes in as Kohli is hit on the pads but the LBW call is turned down. Captain Root realises the importance of the wicket and takes the review.
The impact is line but Kohli is well forward and the ball tracker shows that the ball is bouncing over the stumps which means that the batsman survives and England lose one of their reviews.
Kohli is batting outside the crease to negate the swing of the fast bowlers and also save himself from such leg before calls.
Kohli then turns the next ball on the leg side for one and Rahane misses the flick off the last ball.
Kohli meanwhile plays out a maiden over from Anderson, who sticks to the line outside the off-stump.
The impressive Curran makes the breakthrough as Rahane gets the edge and wicketkeeper Bairstow does well to take a low catch leaning forward.
Rahane fails again in the Test match as he walks back for two with India reduced to 63 for four, needing another 131 for victory.
Ravichandran Ashwin promoted to No. 6 ahead of Dinesh Karthik and Hardik Pandya.
He gets off the mark in some style, slapping a full wide delivery through the covers for a four to get off the mark.
