IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 4: Heading into day four, the first Test match of the newly-anointed Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy feels remarkably balanced. 

It truly is anyone’s game from here, and depending on how day four goes, it is set up to be a real cracker. India are effectively 96/2, their first innings performance. Having been whittled down to just a 6-run lead after sloppiness in.

The field and a slew of missed chances meant England were able to string together strong partnerships. Will India grow to heavily regret those missed chances? If their batting falls apart on day four, almost certainly, their safety net having been untethered by their own hands. 

But with an in-touch KL Rahul batting on 47* joined by captain Shubman Gill, fresh off a terrific century in the first innings, the hope will be that the team can bat through the majority of the day.

Against this English team, anything short of 250 will almost certainly not be enough, even if the pitch begins to deteriorate. India must look at a score well in excess of 300 to have any sort of run-pressure, and that means that batting at least two of today’s sessions will be integral.

On what has been a pretty flat deck so far, that might seem doable. But there was enough bite and venom in this pitch towards the end of play on day three that England’s bowlers will be interested.
