IND VS ENG TEST SERIES MATCH 4, JOE ROOT BRINGS ENG TO PAST 300 WITH HIS 120... MATCH INFO

 India vs England

 4th Test, Ranchi.

England all out

And that's it for England, all out for 353 with Joe Root unbowed on 122. They added 51 runs this morning, with Ollie Robinson reaching 58 from an overnight 31. But the tourists lost their last three wickets for six runs in the space of 17 balls.

The last man out was James Anderson, lbw attempting to sweep Jadeja, who had also removed Robinson and Shoaib Bashir in a useful spell for India after England had started the day well. He finished with 4 for 67. The highlight for England was of course Root, who shared century stands with Robinson and Ben Foakes and rescued his side from 57 for 3, then 112 for 5.

Ravindra Jadeja has grabbed two quick wickets to stymie a bright start to day two by England.

Ollie Robinson fell for 58 attempting a reverse-sweep which flicked the glove before going through to the keeper. Three balls later, Shoaib Bashir was out to a loose leading edge which was snaffled by Rajat Patidar at backward point.

It all swiftly followed a heart-in-mouth moment for Joe Root on 119 when he edged Kuldeep Yadav in front of a diving Rohit Sharma at slip. Rohit wasn't confident he'd got his hands underneath it and a check with the third umpire confirmed the ball hadn't quite reached him cleanly.

Rohit rolled

James Anderson strikes early to remove India captain Rohit Sharma for just 2. With his second over, the third of India's innings, Anderson puts the ball on a good length just outside off stump as Rohit hangs the bat out in a defensive prod and edges to Ben Foakes behind the stumps. England will be thrilled with that early breakthrough. In pursuit of England's first-innings 353, India are 4 for 1.
