"england-2"

With India taking an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series via a five-wicket win in Ranchi, it marked England's first series loss under the captain-coach duo of Stokes and Brendon McCullum.

Shubman Gill and Dhruv Jurel's unbeaten 72-run stand took India across the finishing line during the tricky chase of 192 runs.

England, on the other hand, are languishing at eighth with 19.44%, just a spot ahead of bottom-placed Sri Lanka, who are yet to open their account.

Jaiswal matched Kohli's run tally on Monday during the fourth day of the India vs. England fourth Test.

India secures series victory with 3-1 lead after latest win.

The youngster bowled a total of 44 overs in his spell, conceding 119 runs while sending down eight maiden overs.

Sarfaraz, who was fielding in the deep, was called by Rohit to change his position from long-on to silly mid-off, and while the youngster responded to his captain's call, he decided to take a big risk.

During the second innings, Ashwin finally delivered his best performance of the series after not being among the wickets much in earlier matches.

Kuldeep then dismissed Tom Hartley and Ollie Robinson in four balls, before Ashwin raced to his fifth wicket as stumper Dhruv Jurel took a brilliant reflex catch to oust James Anderson.

For the first 90 minutes, the pitch seemed ordinary, but then it revealed its bag of tricks, expertly exploited by Ashwin and Kuldeep to claim crucial wickets

India began day three with 134 runs behind, but Jurel and Kuldeep Yadav (28 off 131 balls) shared a crucial 76-run stand for the eighth wicket to help the hosts fight back in the match.

Currently, England holds a lead of 319 runs over India, with Jaiswal stabilizing the innings and the pitch posing minimal challenges.

England's final three wickets fell for just six runs in 17 balls, with Ravindra Jadeja taking two of them, finishing as India's standout bowler with figures of 4-67.

Root tapped into his prime form to pull England back into the game after debutant pacer Akash Deep provided India with a dream start.

Akash Deep, who claimed 11 wickets in four games for India 'A' against England Lions last month, inflicted most of the damage with his impressive 3-24 spell on a crack-ridden pitch.

At the time of his passing, Gaekwad, the former India Test captain and the nation's oldest living Test cricketer, died at the age of 95.

Rohit Sharma (131) and Ravindra Jadeja (112) struck fine hundreds while debutant Sarfaraz Khan made a promising start to his Test career with an impressive 62 off 66 balls.

The formidable partnership of 204 runs between captain Rohit and Jadeja firmly placed India in control on Day 1 of the ongoing third Test against England in Rajkot on Thursday.
