Midway through the afternoon England managed to bowl India out for 342, leaving them with a victory target of 319.

The hosts then lost opener Sam Robson (7) before tea, with India going on to take three more wickets in the evening session.

Alastair Cook (22), Gary Ballance (27) and Ian Bell (1) were the men to go, leaving Joe Root and nightwatchman Moeen Ali at the crease on 14 and 15 respectively for the start of day five.

Ishant Sharma was the pick of the Indian bowlers and the man to nab the key wickets of experienced duo Cook and Root.
