Day at 189 for 3, with Yashasvi Jaiswal undefeated to 85 and Captain SHUBMAN GILL newly fold. But the biggest moment of the meeting was not just running – it was a drama. Nightwatchman Akash Deep stole the show with lively 66 out of 94 balls, reached his first test fifty and frustrated exhausted English attack. He and Jaiswal passed a fast 107-running partnership and took full control of the morning session. His shifts ended only when Jamie Overton forced the bowl that Gus Atkinson caught comfortably at a point. But just as the players went for lunch, Zak Crawley and Ollie Pope were seen for a heated exchange with Jaiswal. It seemed that the opener who saw limp in the finals and perhaps trying to waste time, triggered frustration from the English camp. In particular, Crawley was an animated, a needle formula continuing from the third test, where he and SHUBMAN GILL also shared words. Ironically, Crawley himself had previously dropped Akash deep to the third slip and was seen by the series by slowing the game.

What impact do you think Akash Deep’s shifts had on the game?
Today, the surface looked more flattering, with a smaller number of seam movements, which gave India a chance to build a dominant lead, which increased around 100 during the break. When Jaiswal still looked good and England briefly on bowling due to woakes injury, visitors will try to go home in the afternoon.
