India, who set England a mammoth target of 608 runs, have the game in complete grasp with the hosts left reeling at 72 for three at the close of play on Saturday (July 5, 2025).
India need seven wickets to win while England, who haven’t shown any qualms in going for targets in fourth innings of Tests, need an inspired approach with the bat as they require another 536 runs to win.
Akash Deep took two wickets and Mohammed Siraj claimed one in the fourth innings to give India the breakthroughs on day four.
At the crease are England vice-captain Ollie Pope (24) and Harry Brook (15).
