England 57-4 (24 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

India's pacers chipped in with early wickets to leave England in trouble at lunch on Day 1 of the fourth Test match.

Jasprit Bumrah bowled an exceptional spell with the new ball to reduce England to 57 for four in 24 overs at the lunch interval.

Bumrah struck early with the wicket of opener Keaton Jennings, who was trapped leg before wicket for a duck in the third over of the innings.

Captain Joe Root, who survived a LBW shout off a Bumrah no-ball, was trapped leg before wicket by Ishant Sharma for four.

Bumrah then had Jonny Bairstow caught behind for six, before Hardik Pandya got Alastair Cook (17) caught at third slip with Virat Kohli taking a splendid low catch.

At the break, Ben Stokes was batting on 12, while Jos Buttler, who was dropped by wicketkepeer Pant, was unbeaten on 13.

India's pacers made most of bowling with the new ball in helpful conditions but the pitch is expected to ease out in the second session and England would be hoping the rest of their batsmen can stage a fightback and take them to a decent total.
