With Pant injured, India are effectively playing with 9 wickets and will need their batters to play their heart out if they want to keep the series alive

India will resume on 174 for 2, a deficit of 137, after a wonderfully defiant partnership between KL Rahul and Shubman Gill. They came together at 0 for 2, with India in disarray and Chris Woakes on a hat-trick.

The only possible results for India at the moment are either a draw or a loss. India will fight for a stalemate, as the series is on the line and a defeat would give England an unassailable lead. KL Rahul and Shubman Gill are battling against time.

A superb 174-run partnership between India captain Shubman Gill and KL Rahul frustrated a previously dominant England on day four of the fourth test, narrowing the hosts lead to 137 runs.
