India's pacers leave England in a mess

LUNCH - DAY 4

Eng 84-4 (35 ovs); Target to win: 521 | Scorecard

Led by Ishant Sharma's double strike, India continued their march to victory as England were reduced to 84 for four at lunch on Day 4 of the third Test.

Chasing a mammoth 521 for victory, England, who resumed on 23 for no loss, lost both their openers early on the fourth day.

Ishant sent back both the opening batsmen as Jennings was caught behind by wicketkeeper Pant for 13.

Cook also got an edge and was caught by KL Rahul at second slip for 13, who then produced another brilliant catch to send back England captain for the same score off Jasprit Bumrah.

Mohammed Shami left England in further mess as he got Ollie Pope caught at third slip for 16, with captain Virat Kohli taking a stunning diving catch.

At the lunch interval, Jos Buttler was unbeaten on 19, while Ben Stokes had made three.

It remains to be seen how long England's remaining batsmen can last in these difficult conditions for batting, where the fast bowlers have made merry.
