Brilliant 4th Day In Test Unlikely To Save England Tomorrow,

England snatched a stunning seven Indian wickets in the morning session and in sessions two and three looked to shut up shop with only the one wicket down, ready for the morrow. Tragically, Cook fell on the final ball of the day after grinding out a superb, defensively awe-inspiring half century.
Credit was also due to young Hameed who had supported him magnificently making just 25 but holding his end up for some three solid hours.
So, England have eight wickets remaining to bat out the whole of tomorrow to claim a draw. On this pitch, and with her best two defensive batsmen out, that seems more than improbable.

Elephantine Tragedies.
