23:26 (IST)

Hope you've enjoyed our coverage today. Do join us tomorrow for the Day 5 action. All four results possible! Take care and stay safe. 

23:24 (IST)

Stumps!

A good for India as they took a big lead but England wouldn't be too upset because they end the play with 10 wickets in hand. The target is 368 so they need 291 more runs on the final day. The conditions are expected to favour the batting side tomorrow so maybe England have a chance. India, of course, need quick wickets on Monday. Draw looks likely but this is Test cricket so we can never be sure.  

23:20 (IST)

After 32 overs,England 77/0 ( Rory Burns 31 , Haseeb Hameed 43)

Jadeja comes round the wicket to Burns. After two balls he shifts to over the wicket. Suryakumar Yadav does well at forward short leg as Burns is off crease after a push. The throw from SKY is off target as it was a close run out call. But replays show Burns would've made it. And that's that. End of day's play.   

23:16 (IST)

After 31 overs,England 75/0 ( Rory Burns 29 , Haseeb Hameed 43)

After the boundary, Kohli puts in a leg slip for Hameed. There are already two fielders close on the leg-side. Hameed does well to find another boundary through the leg-side. There's a LBW appeal against the right-hander as the ball nips back in and hits on the thigh. Looks close but the umpire says no. Indians take the review but it's missing the stumps.  

23:13 (IST)

Down the leg again by Siraj, Hameed flicks on the full to find another boundary. 

23:11 (IST)

Down the leg by Siraj, Hameed flicks it fine and it's a boundary. 

23:10 (IST)

After 30 overs,England 67/0 ( Rory Burns 29 , Haseeb Hameed 35)

Kohli is having a word with the umpire. Looks like this about change of ball. Not sure if he ended up convincing the umpire but there was a break in play. Big turn for Jadeja as Burns pads it to forward short leg fielder, the Indians appeal for a catch but the umpire is not interested. It's a maiden.

23:06 (IST)

After 29 overs,England 67/0 ( Rory Burns 29 , Haseeb Hameed 35)

We are past the 11 pm (IST) mark and still eight overs to go. The play will continue till 11.18 pm if the light holds up. Looks like it will hold up so another 15 minutes of action left in the day. Of course England openers will aim to survive the final few overs. 

23:03 (IST)

Siraj squares Hameed up but the ball takes an outside edge and runs through slip cordon for a boundary. Really good ball.  

23:01 (IST)

After 28 overs,England 61/0 ( Rory Burns 28 , Haseeb Hameed 30)

Jadeja continues. He was a bit tentative against Jadeja in the previous over but this is much better from the England opener. Rishabh Pant encouraging the team from behind the stumps. Sunil Gavaskar says he has found his voice today thanks to the half-century.

22:58 (IST)

After 27 overs,England 61/0 ( Rory Burns 28 , Haseeb Hameed 30)

Four close fielder on the on side against Hameed but still he finds the gap and takes a single. Burns drives on the up but can't find the gap on the off-side. He flicks the last ball through deep square leg for a single.  

22:54 (IST)

After 26 overs,England 59/0 ( Rory Burns 27 , Haseeb Hameed 29)

Burns plays and misses the first ball. This one doesn't turn but beats him on the bounce. The southpaw then goes for the sweep but misses. The ball is hitting him outside the line so he survives the LBW call. Looks like Burns is getting impatient. 

22:51 (IST)

After 25 overs,England 59/0 ( Rory Burns 27 , Haseeb Hameed 29)

Siraj pitches it up to Burns who drives towards wide of mid off for one run. The bowler bowls the wrong line and length and Hameed ensures he collects four runs through extra cover. Two dots to the end over.

22:49 (IST)

Siraj bowls full and wide, Hameed gets on one knee and drives through cover. 

22:47 (IST)

After 24 overs,England 54/0 ( Rory Burns 26 , Haseeb Hameed 25)

Jadeja wide on the crease to Burns. The third ball turns sharply and hits on the hip of the batsman. Similar ball again, this time Rahane takes the catch running from first slip and the Indians appeal. Nowhere close the bat. A single by Burns down the leg off the final ball. 

22:43 (IST)

After 23 overs,England 53/0 ( Rory Burns 25 , Haseeb Hameed 25)

Hameed works the first ball towards fine-leg to take one run. Hameed is back on strike and Kohli goes with three fielders on the on-side, a slip and a wide slip. Siraj's plan is to bowl straight to him and he does that. Two off the over.  

22:38 (IST)

After 22 overs,England 51/0 ( Rory Burns 24 , Haseeb Hameed 24)

Jadeja targetting the rough against the right-hander. Hameed has been solid with his front foot defence. He then opens the face of the bat slightly to guide the ball towards cover for a single.  

22:36 (IST)

After 21 overs,England 50/0 ( Rory Burns 24 , Haseeb Hameed 23)

Siraj into the attack now. Starts off with a leg stump line, the ball hits Hameed's pads. Another ball down the leg, Hameed pushes it toward on side and takes a single. That's 50 up for England. The crowd recognises the effort, and there's fist-bump between the batsmen. Gotta say, well done on a good start by the openers.  

22:31 (IST)

After 20 overs,England 49/0 ( Rory Burns 24 , Haseeb Hameed 22)

Jadeja starts off with a full toss to Burns who pushes the ball back at the bowler. Burns then goes for the sweep, the ball pitches on the rough, turns and hits the helmet. Another good ball on the rough, this time Burns plays it hurriedly and keeps the ball down. Much better over from the spinner.  

22:28 (IST)

After 19 overs,England 49/0 ( Rory Burns 24 , Haseeb Hameed 22)

Bumrah round the wicket to Burns. The ball hits the inside half of the bat and goes towards fine-leg for a single. Bumrah bowls the off-stump line to Hameed who's solid with his blocks. He then bowls a short one, Hameed ducks and lets it go to the keeper. One more block to end the over. 

22:24 (IST)

After 18 overs,England 48/0 ( Rory Burns 23 , Haseeb Hameed 22)

Jadeja to Burns, targets the rough but Burns leaves the ball alone. He takes a single in the next ball by pushing it towards cover. Oh there's a yorker to Hameed. The batsman tries for the drive but sees the pace of the ball and dugs it out. Boundary to end the over.

22:23 (IST)

Hameed uses Jadeja's pace to clip it towards fine-leg. The ball is too far from the sweeper.   

22:21 (IST)

After 17 overs,England 43/0 

Bumrah bowls short to Burns who plays the pull on the up but there's protection near the boundary so just one run. Three dots against Hameed to end the over. 

22:18 (IST)

After 16 overs,England 42/0 

Jadeja continues. And there's the mandatory no-ball from him. Hameed then collects a single with a cut towards deep point. Burns then drives through empty cover region, takes it on the volley and collects two runs. Hameed drives Jadeja on the up but it is staight to the fielder. There's a caught behind appeal in the final ball. Hameed takes a big stride forward for his defence, the ball bounces near the boot and goes into the hands of forward short leg fielder. On-field umpires take the help of the third umpire. Indians thinks it bounced off the boot but that's not the case. Not out. 

22:07 (IST)

After 15 overs,England 37/0 ( Rory Burns 18 , Haseeb Hameed 17)

Bumrah over the wicket to Burns. Good length deliveries as Burns defends on the backfoot. There are couple of nice drives on the backfoot but they end up straight to the fielder at cover. Burns plays and misses the final ball. Time for drinks on the field.

22:03 (IST)

After 14 overs,England 37/0 ( Rory Burns 18 , Haseeb Hameed 17)

Jadeja continues. Low full toss first up but Burns doesn't take the advantage. He knocks it back to the bowler. Two singles and Burns is back on strike. Again big spin from the rough as the ball hits Burns' midriff. A quick single by the left-hander to end the over.

22:00 (IST)

After 13 overs,England 34/0 ( Rory Burns 16 , Haseeb Hameed 16)

Bumrah is back into the attack. The first three bowls are on the tight line but there's little room in the next ball and Hameed takes his chances to find a boundary on the off side. Superb balance on his backfoot punch. Four runs off the over.   

21:58 (IST)

Short and bit wide by Bumrah, Hameed times it really well on the backfoot and the ball races towards deep point boundary.  

21:57 (IST)

Don't show this to Root and Co! 

In the fourth innings at The Oval against India in 2007, England drew with 369 for 6 in 110 overs.

Today and tomorrow at The Oval against India, England need... 368 in about 110 overs.#EngvInd

21:56 (IST)

After 12 overs,England 30/0 ( Rory Burns 16 , Haseeb Hameed 12)

Jadeja to Hameed, the batsman takes a single after working it towards mid-wicket. Jadeja is punished for bowling short to Burns, who picks it up easily and sends it to the vacant area on the leg side for a boundary. The final ball turns and bounces after pitching on the rough. It hits Burns on the body.

21:53 (IST)

Short by Jadeja. Burns pulls it for his second boundary of the innings. 

21:52 (IST)

After 11 overs,England 25/0 ( Rory Burns 12 , Haseeb Hameed 11)

Umesh comes round the wicket to Burns and he's mixing up his lengths against the left-hander. The fourth ball is short, not much height as Burns ducks to let it go to the keeper. The boundary ball is a no-ball so Umesh bowls it again. Dot ball to end it.

21:50 (IST)

Well played. Short ball by Umesh, Burns is on it quickly and pulls through deep square-leg. 

21:46 (IST)

After 10 overs,England 20/0 ( Rory Burns 8 , Haseeb Hameed 11)

Jadeja overpitches to Hameed who drives it to cover for a single. The second ball rises up after pitching on the rough as Burns does well to get the bat to the ball. He then tries a slog sweep, but doesn't get the timing right and it is straight to the fielder at mid-on. He takes a single off the fifth ball. 

21:43 (IST)

After 9 overs,England 18/0 

Hameed plays a controlled drive through cover, the ball is in the gap but not enough to reach the boundary. Two runs to the batsman. The next ball is a straight one, Hameed plays it with an angled bat to take a single. Umesh sticks to bowling round the wickets to Burns. Four dots to end the over.

21:39 (IST)

After 8 overs,England 15/0 ( Rory Burns 7 , Haseeb Hameed 7)

Ravindra Jadeja is into the attack. Clear plan by the Indian team to exploit the rough on the pitch against Burns. And the first ball jumps out of the rough, making an awkward Burns to pad it away. Hameed then plays a solid cover drive but Rahul dives and saves three runs. Two runs towards deep mid-wicket by Burns. Four off the over. 

21:34 (IST)

After 7 overs,England 11/0 ( Rory Burns 4 , Haseeb Hameed 6)

Umesh continues. The ball takes a thick outside edge off Hameed but he plays it with soft hands. Rahane at third slip dives to his left and takes it on the bounce. Umesh is getting the ball to shape away, but he should try to bring the line closer to the batsman. It's a maiden.

21:30 (IST)

After 6 overs,England 11/0

Superb first ball by Bumrah. It nips back in as Hameed decides it to let the ball go to the keeper. The ball is not too far from the stumps as the Indian slip cordon react in excitement. Hameed takes a single and then Burns collects two runs after a push towards mid-wicket. One more single and a dot to end the over.

21:28 (IST)

Agree?

Can’t see this being anything other than a draw! India’s bowling apart from Bumrah will struggle. If only Ashwin was playing… oh Kohli it’s good to have independent thinkers in your team

21:25 (IST)

After 5 overs,England 6/0 ( Rory Burns 1 , Haseeb Hameed 4)

Burns knocks the first ball towards on side and takes a single. Umesh goes wide on the crease to Hameed, bowls on the middle stump line as the batsman taps it on the off-side and takes a quick single. Umesh goes round the wickets to Burns. The first ball after change of angle is outside off stump, Burns lets it go. The second one is on the pads, Burns drives but fielder at mid-on cuts it off. A dot to end the over.

21:21 (IST)

After 4 overs,England 4/0 ( Rory Burns 0 , Haseeb Hameed 3)

Bumrah to Hameed. First ball is outside off stump and again there's bounce. The second ball comes back in as the batsman leaves it alone. The pacer is targetting the corridor of uncertainty. The fifth ball is short of a length and wide, Hameed misses on runs as he doesn't time his cut. Maiden.

21:16 (IST)

After 3 overs,England 4/0 ( Rory Burns 0 , Haseeb Hameed 3)

Umesh's ball rises on the hip, Burns misses it but takes a single. It's leg bye. Lovely ball to Hameed, as it shapes away. Hameed watches it closely and leaves it alone. He is off the mark with a push towards square leg. The batsmen take two runs but Shardul doesn't back it up properly so he concedes an extra run. A dot to end the over.

21:11 (IST)

After 2 overs,England 0/0 ( Rory Burns 0 , Haseeb Hameed 0)

Bumrah to Hameed, outside off stump ball as the batsman blocks and looks for a single but too risky. Bumrah goes down the leg in the next ball. Three slips and a gully to Hameed. The fifth ball is full and wide, Hameed leaves it alone as it rises up sharply after pitching. Good take by Pant. Another maiden. 

21:07 (IST)

After 1 overs,England 0/0 ( Rory Burns 0 , Haseeb Hameed 0)

Umesh starts off with a wide delivery outside off stump, Burns lets it go to the keeper. Much better line in the next delivery as the batsman defends. No runs from the first over.

21:03 (IST)

Right then. The English openers take charge in the middle. Rory Burns to face the first delivery. Umesh to begin the proceedings for India  

21:02 (IST)

Update

Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara will not take the field. Rohit has discomfort in his left knee while Pujara has pain in his left ankle. The BCCI medical team is assessing them.

20:58 (IST)

Salute to the Indian lower-order!

Huge competition among India’s fast bowlers this series to show who’s the better batsman!????

India with the edge! 

All results are possible at the #Oval in #INDvENG match. But, India definitely has got the edge.

20:55 (IST)

Uphill task ahead! 

India have set England a target of 368 to win.

The most England have made in the fourth innings to win is 362/9 vs Australia at Leeds in 2019 (that famous Ben Stokes match!)#ENGvIND #ENGvsIND

20:55 (IST)

So England need 368 runs to win the Test and take a lead in the series. Around 126 overs are left in the Test, out of which 36 will be bowled today. Indian bowlers have a lot time with them to take the 10 wickets. The batting conditions are really good so there's some hope for England as well.
