The only possible results for India at the moment are either a draw or a loss. India will fight for a stalemate, as the series is on the line and a defeat would give England an unassailable lead. KL Rahul and Shubman Gill are battling against time.

Ben Stokes has scored his 14th test century as England ran up a 311-run lead in the fourth test against India.

Ben Stokes was brilliant with the bat, but he was notable by his absence from the attack as England toiled with the ball. Having retired hurt with a cramp on Day 3, he opted against bowling, even as England struggled to come up with answers to stop India’s rearguard action.
