Background

India vs England: The fourth Test match between India and England enters Day 4. The match that was looking to go in favour of England has shifted allegiances and now looks completely in Indian control. This has become possible due to resilient and patient batting performance by the Indian top-order, especially Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara. Day 3 of the Test belonged to the Indin batsmen.

Cheteshwar Pujara was playing some brisk drives and was showing positive intent, which is usually missing from Pujara's natural game, that is of defence. Rohit Sharma scored a 100 after a long time in Test cricket. This has solidified Rohit's position as an opener of the Indian cricket team. 

This match has come to a stage where 100-150 runs more would mean that India might be able to save the Test and think about winning it, but the match is far from over! Anything can happen in a Test match and India will have to bat really well to challenge this skillful English batting order.
