RANCHI, India : Dhruv Jurel led India's spirited rearguard action with a brilliant 90 before the hosts were all out for 303 at lunch replying to England's first innings total of 353 on day three of the fourth test on Sunday.
A fighting half-century by wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel got India within touching distance of England's first innings total of the fourth Test in Ranchi on Sunday. Jurel missed out on his maiden Test century by 10 runs as he was cleaned up by Tom Hartley (3/68) after a splendid 90 off 149 balls studded with six fours and four sixes to wrap up India's first innings on 307. Jurel and Kuldeep Yadav (28) kept England at bay for the large part of the first session, with the former perishing on the stroke of Lunch.
Legenday pacer Stuart Broad has been following the India vs England fourth Test quite closely. The former right-arm England pacer is also taking it to social media to fire in his opinions about the game and also about the two teams. On Saturday, the Indian top and middle-order, barring Yashasvi Jaiswal and Dhruv Jurel, faltered against the England spinners. Shoaib Bashir picked four wickets while Tom Hartley scalped two. Commenting on India's batting, Broad asked if out-of-favour Test batter Cheteshwar Pujara's international career is over. He suggested that India could have included the veteran in the team as it would have provided them "some consistency" in the absence of star batter Virat Kohli.
Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar reserved massive praise for wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel after the youngster scored a gritty 90 in the first innings of the 4th Test against England in Ranchi. Resuming from his overnight score of 30, Jurel added another 60 in the first session on day 3, and was only a couple of big hits away from scoring his maiden Test century. However, Tom Hartley clean bowled Jurel to deny him a century in just his second Test.
England spinners Shoaib Bashir and Tom Hartley dominated proceedings on the second day of the fourth Test against India in Ranchi. On a surface where the guests posted a total of 353 before being bundled out, hosts India failed to replicate it, at least on the second day of the game. Despite Yashasvi Jaiswal scoring 73 runs, India were reduced to 177 for 7. It was an unbroken 42-run partnership between Dhruv Jurel (30) and Kuldeep Yadav (17) for the eighth wicket that saved India's blushes on the day.
India vs England, 4th Test Match Day 3 Live Updates: Shoaib Bashir registered his maiden five-wicket haul as England bundled out India for 307, taking a lead by 46 runs. Resuming Day 3 at 219/7, India put up a great fight but eventually succumbed to England's fiery bowling attack.
England spinner Jack Leach will be undergoing knee surgery to recover from an injury that ruled him out of the final four Tests of England's series against India in the subcontinent. Leach was part of England's impressive 28-run win at Hyderabad and took a wicket in the match. But he suffered an injury in the match and was replaced by youngster Shoaib Bashir in the second Test. Leach had to fly back home from a mid-series break in Abu Dhabi to continue his recovery. "I am going to have an operation to get the rest of the swelling out because it is not budging," Leach told BBC Radio 5 Live as quoted by Sky Sports.
