Fourth Test, day four: England 353 & 145; India 307 & 192-5India take unassailable series lead of 3-1 with one Test to play
There were twists and turns, fingernails chewed by supporters of both teams along the way, but in the end no miracle for those willing on England. India reeled in their target of 192 on day four in Ranchi to claim victory in the fourth Test by five wickets and with it an unassailable 3-1 series lead with one to play.
Two days into the match thoughts of a potential decider in the Himalayan hill station of Dharamshala had begun to percolate, England seemingly in control of their own destiny. Their hosts had stumbled to stumps 134 runs in arrears on first innings and seven wickets down – as good an opportunity as a visiting side will get in India.
