(Source: Reuters) Indian bowlers bowled brilliantly to dismiss England for 246 and put their side on top at the end of day 1 at The Rose Bowl, Southampton. Jasprit Bumrah was the wrecker in chief as he picked up the wickets of Keaton Jennings, Jonny Bairstow and Stuart Broad. Ishant Sharma supported him from the other end getting rid Joe Root. Mohammad Shami also chipped in with a couple of wickets. Young Sam Curran wa the only batsmen to give a rearguard action and scored a splendid 78 to guide his team to a respectable score of 246 in the first innings. At the end of day 1 at The Rose Bowl, Southampton. IND- 19/0, trail by 227 runs. KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan will resume the innings tomorrow. With the series currently at 2-1, India still need a win to get back to level terms and sustain hopes of registering a rare series win in England. A loss would see India losing the series, and a draw would end India’s chance to win the series.<doc-sep>India vs England 4th Test Day 3 Highlights: England lead by 233 with 2 wickets in hand.

In a test that has swayed this way and that, the Indians took the wicket of Adil Rashid (11) on the last ball of the day and were still in with a good chance if they can quickly wrap up England’s second innings on Sunday. Only tailenders Stuart Broad and Jimmy Anderson are left to bat for England.

India all-out India are all-out for 273, Bumrah the last man out for 6, India have a lead of 27 runs, not much but it could have been much worse. Something new for cricket fans We have seen something new today, Pujara hitting over mid on with Broad bowling with the new ball and then we have Bumrah defending like he is a proper batsman. Pujara, Bumrah frustrate England Pujara and Bumrah have added 34 runs for the last wicket. You can see frustrations building up for England. India take lead India have taken the first innings lead at Southampton. The lead, however big it turns out to be could prove crucial. India closing in on England score India are closing in on England’s score. It looked highly improbable at one time. Big effort by Pujara and co. Century for Pujara Cheteshwar Pujara gets 100 #15. He goes down the ground to Moeen to bring up his hundred. Big innings by India number three. Ishant departs Ishant Sharma goes for 14, caught at short-leg. Moeen gets another. India 9 down and still trail by 19. Ishant looking for runs Usually stoic, Ishant Sharma is looking for runs rather just to defend. Sharma and Pujara have added 21 runs for the 9th wicket. Ishant looking to provide Pujara support Ishant has shown signs of staying put at the wicket here. Pujara in the meantime is looking to up the ante, but he hasn’t quite managed to do that. He is hitting most of them to the fielders and that has not helped. India need to come as close as possible to the English total here. Pujara holds fort Pujara is fighting a lone battle here, even stuck on the head again, this time by Anderson. He is trying his best to keep the scoreboard moving as he only has Ishant and Bumrah to back him here. Ishant though can bat and he will look to hold one end up and help Pujara take India as close to England’s first innings total as possible. Moeen on a roll here Moeen Ali strikes back to back. Shami is gone now. Cleaned up after Ashwin played the reverse sweep and is cleaned up. The English bowlers are celebrating here and this is pathetic application from the Indian batsmen. Shami goes for 0 after Ashwin goes for 1 as the score reads 195/8. Moeen gets Ashwin What was that? Unbelievable batting from Ashwin here as he plays the reverse sweep and is cleaned up here. The English bowlers are celebrating here and this is pathetic application from the Indian batsmen. Ashwin goes for 1 as the score reads 195/7. Moeen Ali strikes Moeen Ali strikes here and this is big as Pandya goes for 4. This is an important session as India will need to bat well and get a lead here to stay alive in this game. England need a couple more wickets here to sit on top. Pujara is holding fort for India and will look to score a big hundred here. The score reads 189/6. Crucial session Important session this as India will need to bat well and get a lead here to stay alive in this game. England need a couple more wickets here to sit on top. Pujara is holding fort for India and will look to score a big hundred here. India need runs on the board here as they will be batting last. Moeen gets Pant on the stroke of tea Moeen Ali gets Rishabh Pant as he goes for a 29-ball duck. Pant goes at the stroke of tea here and the players walk off for the break. The score reads 181/5 with Pujara holding fort on 70. This game is wide open and England have definitely clawed their way back into the game. Pujara looking to pounce on the bad balls Having spent decent time at the crease, Pujara is now looking to make most of the bad balls. Stokes pitches one up and Pujara goes into the drive and then flicks the next one to send it to the fine-leg boundary. Patience is his virtue and that has seen him do so well even as the other batsmen have failed to carry on after settling down. Pant looking to show grit For a batsman who is aggressive by nature, Pant has played out 15 balls and is yet to score a run. Shows that he is looking to fight it out in the middle. Does not want to take any undue risk against the English bowlers as they have their tails up. Pujara takes a knock Stokes pitches it short and the ball rises to hit Pujara on the helmet. The English players come in to check with Pujara as Patrick Farhat runs in to take a look at the batsman. Looks good from the outside and should not be anything serious. The score reads 167/4. Pujara and Pant look to consolidate With Kohli and Rahane back in the hut, Pujara and Pant are now looking to hold fort and score runs to ensure that India get the lead in the first innings. Having lost 4 wickets, it is only going to get more difficult for the Indian batsmen as the English bowlers look to make further inroads. Stokes gets Rahane Rahane is gone. Luck finally runs out for Rahane as he goes for 11 off 14 balls. A very uncharacteristic knock from Rahane and he could not make much of the life he got earlier in the innings. The review goes against Rahane as he is caught plumb in front. Stokes celebrates as India lose number 4. The score reads 161/4. Rahane gets a life<doc-sep>
Scorecard | As it happened READ ALSO: England were braver than us in tougher situations: Kohli READ ALSO: Today is probably the best Moeen has ever bowled for England: Root Use your cricket knowledge to play CricPlay, India’s first free fantasy cricket app SOUTHAMPTON: Indian batting once again wilted miserably under trying circumstances as a relentless England recorded a comfortable 60-run victory in the fourth Test to take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series.Chasing a tricky target of 245, India were bowled out for a paltry 184 on the fourth day on a pitch where survival wasn't a problem but run-scoring definitely was.India have never chased a target of 200 plus outside the sub-continent in the past three decades and the script didn't change this time round.What will hurt Virat Kohli and his men most is the fact that they were beaten by one of the weakest teams in recent times. An ageing bowling attack of Jimmy Anderson-Stuart Broad along with off-spinner in Moeen Ali (5/63 and 4/71) tormented the Indians just like they did during the 2014 series.Under Ravi Shastri's coaching, India have now lost Test series in all those countries, which are considered to be tough places for touring teams.While the Indian coach has repeatedly stressed about being a good travelling side, save Trent Bridge Test, there hasn't been indications enough to show that Kohli's team is ready to beat the best when conditions are alien.Under Shastri-Kohli duo, India have lost in Australia (where MS Dhoni captained in two Tests), in South Africa and now in England.The inconsequential final Test will be played at the Oval from September 7.It was never an easy chase but what baffled all and sundry was the irresponsible batting by the middle and lower order, who gave up without a semblance of fight after a 101-run fourth wicket stand between skipper Virat Kohli (58, 130 balls) and his deputy Ajinkya Rahane (51, 159 balls).Once Kohli was snuffed out by Moeen with a delivery that turned and bounced sharply to kiss his glove into the forward short-leg's hands, India's challenge was as good as over.From 122 for 3, India slumped to 163 for 9 in the next hour with none of the batsmen showing willpower to fight.To Moeen's credit, he used the rough well and got more purchase from a slowish track than Ashwin, who had wasted an opportunity to give his team the required cushion in helpful conditions.Both Kohli and Rahane were taken through classical off-break where Moeen tossed it up and also got the deliveries to spin back sharply.Rishabh Pant (18) proved his critics right as he failed to curb his impetuosity, going for rash lofted shot to be holed out by the only man in the deep.Hardik Pandya (0) is far from finished product as far as all-round capabilities are concerned and he couldn't negotiate Ben Stokes' swing.Ravichandran Ashwin (25) did put up a fight in the end but that wasn't enough with Sam Curran dismissing him to win the series for England.The writing was on the wall when India were reduced to 22 for three in the first hour with KL Rahul (0), Shikhar Dhawan (17) and Cheteshwar Pujara (5) being dismissed cheaply.Rahul got a wicked delivery that kept low knocking he stumps back. Pujara got one from Anderson that came back sharply while Dhawan was out in his now customary fashion poking it to the slip cordon.Dhawan's mode of dismissal showed that he hasn't learnt one bit about his shortcomings against the swinging deliveries outside the off-stump, which has repeatedly brought about his downfall.With 113 runs in 8 innings, time is running out for Rahul, who might be benched in the next Test. Ditto for Dhawan, who might find his Test career coming to an abrupt end with only 158 runs in six innings so far.With Prithvi Shaw in that dressing room and Mayank Agarwal waiting in India, the current set of openers are living on borrowed time.Kohli and Rahane then showed as to why they were a cut above rest. They were prepared to wait for loose deliveries and grind it out in a workmanlike fashion.Kohli got a slice of luck when TV replays showed that he was plumb leg before but TV umpire Joel Wilson's howler provided him with a reprieve.Rahane on the other hand had dead batted most of the deliveries hitting only one boundary in the process.
