So, the day began on a bright note for England with captain Joe Root calling it correctly at the coin toss and expectedly opting to bat first. However, by the eighth over, both English openers were back in the hunt with left-arm spinner Axar Patel accounting for both of them in his successive overs. The fall of Joe Root further pushed England on the backfoot before Ben Stokes and Ollie Pope tried reviving the innings. Stokes made 55 before falling to Washington Sundar. Somehow, England managed to cross the 200-run mark, largely thanks to Zak Crawley who made 46 off 74. They were eventually bowled out for 205 with Axar taking four while Ashwin taking three. However, James Anderson jolted India early trapping Shubman Gill lbw for a duck in the very first over. However, Cheteshwar Pujara (15*) and Rohit Sharma (8*) ensured there was no further damage.
And that's stumps. India 24/1, trail England by 181 runs on Day 1.
A small statistical update: India have avoided the follow-on - they needed to score 6. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara are in the middle together, much before they would have thought to be joining forces together. Score 7/1 in 6 overs
James Anderson is joined by Ben Stokes who is probably opening the bowling for the first time in his Test career. Remember - England have fielded two specialist spinners.
India vs England 4th Test Live: WICKET! Sensational start for England as James Anderson has trapped Shubman Gill for a three-ball duck. Gill has reviewed this but the decision stays. India haven't lost it as it was the umpire's call. A long walk back for the India opener who must be disappointed. India 0/1 in 0.3 overs
India openers Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma stride out to the middle. Not a tall ask by any stretch. England must feel they have fallen 150-180 runs short on what is the best batting track since the first Test in Chennai. James Anderson with the new ball.
England 205-all out. Ravichandran Ashwin gets rid of Jack Leach after he's given out lbw by the on-field umpire. Leach reviews but the decision will remain as it is. Ashwin finishes with figures of 3/47 as combining with his junior Axar Patel (4/68) he has stopped England at a low score after they opted to bat early on Thursday.
200 up for England. With a four off Ravichandran Ashwin, Jack Leach takes England past the 200-run mark in Motera. Batting with his is James Anderson who is batting on 9 that includes a boundary off a reverse sweep. England 205/9 in 75 overs
England vs India Live Updates: OUT! Dom Bess has been given out lbw off Axar Patel but he immediately calls for a review. He looked quite confident. But it's all reds and Bess will have to walk back after having made 3 off 16. England nine down. James Anderson is the 11th batter in. Score 189/9 in 70.4 overs
IND vs ENG Live Updates: Wicket no. 3 for Axar Patel. This is proper brain-fade moment for Daniel Lawrence. He had done well for his 46 but somehow decided he had to take the aggressive route against Axar and charged down the track only to get beaten all ends and was stumped. His 74-ball stay saw him hitting eight fours. England have lost their eighth wicket. Score 188/8 in 70.1 overs
Over 66.6: Daniel Lawrence survives. The ball hits Shubman Gill's boot before rising and being collected. Indians are quite confident but the umpire goes upstairs. And that lifted after a part of the ball grazed the surface.
India vs England Live Score: WICKET! Another one bites the dust. Ravichandran Ashwin doesn't have to wait long for his second scalp of the innings as he has Ben Foakes caught at first slip by India vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane. Foakes scored 1 off 12. England have now lost their seventh wicket. Foakes came forward to defend but the ball turned just enough to kiss the edge and prove his undoing. Score 170/7 in 65.4
India vs England Live Cricket Score: WICKET! Ravichandran Ashwin strikes to get his first wicket of the innings. Ollie Pope is disappointed. He skipped down the track and got an inside edge which after deflecting off his back leg nestled into the hands of Shubman Gill at short leg. The soft signal was out as the umpire went upstairs. But Pope has to walk back as Ashwin gets him after setting a perfect trap. Pope scored 29 off 87 with two fours. England 166/6 in 61.3 overs
We are back for the third and final session of the play. So far, both the sessions have gone India's way at the start before England have crawled back even though the scoreline may suggest otherwise. An interesting third session this will be.
That's tea on Day 1! A session that also kind of went India's way as they got the dangerman Ben Stokes right after he had reached half-century. This was after the session began with Mohammed Siraj getting rid of Jonny Bairstow. They scored 70 runs and scored two big wickets. However, Ollie Pope and Dan Lawrence have built a small partnership here, having added 23 runs so far. Pope is on 21 off 73 with one four while Lawrence is on 15 with three fours. England 144/5 in 56 overs
Over 54: Ishant Sharma is back into the attack. He bowled eight overs in his first spell for 19 runs and no wicket. Bowling alongside him is Ravichandran Ashwin who has now bowled 10 overs for 17 runs and zero wickets. England 144/5 in 56 overs
England vs India Live Score: WICKET! Plumb. Washington Sundar is ecstatic. He has trapped well-set and dangerman Ben Stokes lbw on 55. A vital breakthrough for India as they have removed the threat of Stokes. Sundar pushes the lefty on the backfoot and but the extra bounce catches him by surprise as the ball crashes on the pad first. Despite appeal from Ollie Pope, Stokes decides against going for the DRS. He struck six fours and two sixes. Score 121/5 in 46.4 overs
IND vs ENG LIVE: With a four, England batsman Ben Stokes reaches his half-century - his 24th in the format. This has been a well-compiled innings from Stokes so far. Seems like he's channelizing that exchange with India captain Virat Kohli into something productive. This is good news for England.
Live Updates: Washington Sundar and Axar Patel are bowling in tandem. This phase has been uneventful barring a run-out chance with Cheteshwar Pujara unleashing an pin-point throw. Replays showed Ollie Pope was well inside before the ball crashed onto the stumps. Meanwhile, Ben Stokes is inching towards a fifty. He's currently batting on 47 off 108 with five fours and two sixes. Alongside him is Pope on 11 off 37 with one boundary to his name so far. England 110/4 in 43 overs
IND vs ENG Live Updates: Pace in Mohammed Siraj and spin in Ravichandran Ashwin currently in operation right now. Ben Stokes has consumed 79 deliveries for 33 runs while Ollie Pope is on 4 off 12. England are 88/4 in 34 overs.
