  Archer delivers a late swing. He angles a ball towards Rahul, appearing to target the pads but veering away after it pitches. It strikes the back leg once more but would have sailed over the stumps.

  On the fifth delivery, there is a sharp bounce. Rahul is completely unaware of it. Once again, a length ball rises sharply towards Rahul. What protects him is that it is outside off; had it been slightly closer to his body, it would have likely taken the edge.

  IND vs ENG Live 4th Test Day 4: IND 1/2 in 3 overs

  Woakes. A maiden over. The England bowlers have made a strong start. That’s lunch. Once again, England has had a commanding session, first with the bat and then with the ball. England amassed 669 runs, with Stokes contributing 141. After establishing a 311-run lead, Woakes began flawlessly, dismissing Jaiswal and Sudharsan on consecutive deliveries in the very first over. India requires a miracle to prevent England from winning this Test.

  IND vs ENG Live 4th Test Day 4: 

  Speaking of the ball, the bowling performance faced intense scrutiny yesterday. The speeds of young Anshul Kamboj were a topic of extensive discussion. There were also concerns regarding Bumrah's declining speeds, and his stumble on the stairs only added to the team's troubles. Siraj worked hard but to no avail and even had to leave the field for a short period. Washi appeared to be the standout bowler with his drift, while Jadeja occasionally managed to spin the ball past the batters.

  IND vs ENG Live 4th Test Day 4: Hello and Welcome!

  Hello and thank you for joining! We are right on time for the scheduled resumption of play at 3:30 PM IST. The big question on everyone's mind is the weather in Manchester.

  The good news is that the rain has stopped, and the umpires have completed their inspection. The ground staff are working diligently to get the outfield ready for play. While there might be a slight delay past the 3:30 PM mark, the signs are optimistic that we will see the start of the first session shortly.
