India’s important position and the fight for survival against England in the fourth exam
Throughout the majority of this test, the Indian position was important to the dominant English side. The English giant 669 on the third day was highlighted by multiple important contributions, making India a difficult task. India was catching up with 311 runs, responding with 358 in the first innings. This is the deficit that exposed the challenges first. Early in the two innings, India’s top order collapsed with two ducks from the opening pair, putting the Middle Order under intense pressure. The host bowler, led by Stokes (5 wickets) and Archer (3 wickets), made good use of the conditions.
At lunch on the fifth day, India had 223 people with four, with 88 runs still ongoing. There is a contribution from Washington Sundaal (Not outside 21) and Rabindra Jadaja Hanging there, the team fought to save their pride and avoid a complete loss. The pitch began to slow down, and England faced the prospect of not having enough time to push for victory, tilting the match towards a draw.
