IND vs ENG Live: Washington Sundar shoots on day 4 of the first Test Match, in Chennai.© BCCI
England lead by 241 runs against India and will not enforce the continuation, on Day 4 of the first test match, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The hosts put on a decent display with Washington Sundar remaining undefeated after scoring 85 runs on 138 balls. The off-roader built a decent partnership with Ravichandran Ashwin. The association ended with Ashwin’s departure, and Sundar was not supported by the other tailenders, who lost their land in quick succession. Jack Leach eventually opened his window account, recording the layoffs of Ashwin and Shahbaz Nadeem. Meanwhile, James Anderson took the land from Ishant Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah. The visitors will aim to set a goal close to 400 and further torment India with the bat. Meanwhile, the hosts will aim to catch an early wicket before the lunch break. (LIVE SCORE CARD)
