India vs England: fourth Test, day two updates and score – as it happened

• Read Simon’s match report here

Tom Hartley ends the day with a maiden over and England find themselves in a very strong position with India trailing by 134 runs.

Joe Root started proceedings by adding to England’s total with overnight partner Ollie Robinson, who made 58, but the latter’s departure brought a quick end to their innings as Ravindra Jadeja finished with four wickets. James Anderson soon sent back the India captain Rohit Sharma after England were bowled out for 353.

From then on, it was the Shoaib Bashir show as he claimed four wickets from a 32-over spell, including the scalp of the dangerous Yashasvi Jaiswal, before Tom Hartley produced some excellent bowling of his own to dismiss Sarfaraz Khan and Ravichandran Ashwin.

When asked about Bashir, Root, speaking on TNT Sports, said: “He was brilliant. He is a great young lad to have in the group. I didn’t know much about him before the series but he has got great character, sense of humour and a huge amount of ability and skill. It was great to see him keep coming time and again today. He should take a lot of confidence for the rest of this game and going forward as well.”

On his century, he added: “That’s [to play the conditions] how I try to play every game — play the conditions and the situation of the game. It was very obvious what was needed in that situation and surfaces. Thankfully it paid off.”

Away from Ranchi, Jack Leach has confirmed he will have surgery on the left knee he injured during England’s opening Test against India in Hyderabad last month.

Leach, England’s most experienced spinner, returned home from the series earlier this month and will have surgery on Tuesday. He is hopeful of being fit for England’s next series at home against the West Indies later in the year.

He said: “I’m going to have an operation to get the rest of the swelling out because it’s not budging.”

Another low ball from Tom Hartley that hits Ravichandran Ashwin’s boot and there’s a huge appeal — given out on the pitch.

Ashwin reviews. There’s no bat involved — impact in line, wickets clipping and England are well on top having claimed their seventh Indian wicket.

What a catch from Joe Root! Brilliant from Tom Hartley as he lures Sarfaraz Khan into a drive and finds the edge — Root reacts in a flash to take the low catch to his left at slip.

It was a mightily impressive catch given that the ball seemed to flick Ben Foakes’ glove on the way. England well on top now.

There are huge shouts for an lbw from Tom Hartley and England as he slips a ball through Sarfaraz Khan’s defences.

England send it upstairs — ball tracking shows impact is in line but wickets are missing. England lose their review and only have one remaining.

The dangerman is gone! Yashasvi Jaiswal misjudges the line with the ball keeping low from the brilliant Shoaib Bashir and his defence is finally broken.

Bashir, bowling his 20th consecutive over, has been sensational and his four wickets are richly deserved. That is a huge moment in the game and a jubilant England are on top now.

Simon Wilde, Ranchi: Shoaib Bashir produced a dramatic spell of three for five in 41 balls to put England well on top by tea on the second day of the Ranchi Test. The game suddenly burst into life in the second hour of the session as Bashir, who bowled unchanged in a lengthy spell, found an area of cracked turf outside the right-hander’s off stump.

England recalled him for this game because of his high release point and wicket-to-wicket line and it is looking like the right call.

At tea, India were 131 for four from 38 overs with their hopes heavily dependent again on Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was unbeaten on 54 from 96 balls. He had his moments of alarm though, and did not dominate as he likes to, adding 27 runs in two hours with only one boundary — a six over long on off Bashir early. But Jaiswal was nearly bowled by a ball he chose to leave just after reaching his fifty.

Shubman Gill was the first of Bashir’s three victims, leg-before for 38 to a ball that hit a crack and spun in. Gill reviewed but the decision was upheld, showing umpire’s call on impact. Ben Stokes had appeared ready to replace Bashir with Tom Hartley, who in the end did not come on until the 32nd over, but the wicket changed his thinking.

Rajat Patidar stayed with Jaiswal for 40 minutes but never looked at ease and was eventually pinned in front by a ball that skidded on and spun and was shown on Patidar’s review to be clipping leg stump. It almost did too much.

Ravindra Jadeja came in at No 5 again which meant India had two left-handers in together. Jadeja, sensing the need not to let England’s two spinners — now operating in tandem — to settle, especially after a ball from Hartley scuttled and England reviewed unsuccessfully, swiftly struck Hartley for back-to-back leg-side sixes. But against Bashir he got into a tangle trying to smother any potential turn and edged into his front leg and saw the ball loop up obligingly to Ollie Pope at short leg.

The biggest talking point in the first hour was Jaiswal on 40 edging Ollie Robinson low to Ben Foakes for what some England fielders believed was a clean catch but the third umpire ruled that the ball kissed the turf on its way into Foakes’ gloves. Jaiswal survived a number of close calls against Robinson.

Alastair Cook, the Sunday Times columnist speaking on TNT Sports, said: “Cricket never ceases to amaze me.

“You’ve got England as the team with men round the bat, putting pressure on Indian batters playing spin, whereas the England batters playing spin had no one round the bat. It’s very different to what you’d expect. A very good session for England. I thought Stokes was outstanding, the way he captained Bashir. Though they’ve still got the problem of Jaiswal, who has played beautifully for his 54.

“What has really impressed me about England is the way they’ve hung in there. They’ve showed the patience required. Right at the end of the session we’ve started to see a few more tricks from this pitch, which means this game could suddenly move forward quite quickly.”

What an afternoon Shoaib Bashir is having! The 20-year-old claims his third wicket to turn the match in England’s favour, as the ball hits the cracks in the pitch and gets Ravindra Jadeja’s inside edge, looping up into the grateful hands of Ollie Pope at short leg.

The wicket came after Jadeja hit two balls from Tom Hartley for six — but all the momentum is with England now with Bashir leading the charge. India are 131 for four at tea.

Bashir has his second wicket as the ball skids off the surface and into Rajat Patidar’s pads. DRS shows it was clipping leg stump so remains out on umpires call.

Bashir, who has enjoyed an excellent spell, punches the air and celebrates with his team-mates. Collar up and chain dangling around his neck, the young man really does have something about him.

Yashasvi Jaiswal — who England, of course, believe shouldn’t even be at the crease given that earlier not out call — pushes Tom Hartley, coming on for his first bowl of the game, for a single to bring up his half-century.

Jaiswal is 61 runs away from breaking the record for most runs by Indian batter in an Test series against England.

England have their breakthrough and it’s Shoaib Bashir who gets it, rewarding Ben Stokes’ faith in him in his ninth over. The impact was umpire’s call and heading straight into leg stump. Big wicket for the touring side!

There are high fives and pats on backs as England think they have Yashasvi Jaiswal caught behind but the third umpire spoils the party by deciding that the ball hit the ground just before it went into Ben Foakes’ gloves.

England were convinced, on replay, that was out and were stunned by the decision. Based on the images provided at the time it looked like a fair call, but a fresh angle that the third umpire did not seem to see looks like it went straight into the gloves.

Shubman Gill caresses Jimmy Anderson, playing in his sixth tour of India (and with a blonde tinge in his hair), straight down the ground to bring up a fifty partnership between him and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Jaiswal soon comes down the wicket to Shoaib Bashir and smashes over long-on for six. England optimistically appealed for an lbw against Jaiswal with the next ball — not out, no review.

England are doing all they can to get the ball to reverse.

Simon Wilde, Ranchi: England enjoyed another strong session as the fourth Test resumed in Ranchi this morning, with James Anderson getting their push for wickets underway by having Rohit Sharma caught behind in the third over of India’s reply to England’s 353 all out. It was Anderson’s 697th Test wicket.

India faced a tricky 45 minutes before lunch against Anderson and Ollie Robinson, who earlier completed a maiden Test fifty as England extended their overnight 302 for seven by an additional 51 runs with Joe Root finishing 122 not out.

The two of them strove to make the most of the hard new ball and Ben Stokes backed them up with an array of close catchers. Rohit peered anxiously at the pitch a few times and played and missed twice at Robinson before Anderson got a good-length delivery to nip back to take the outside edge as Rohit tentatively looked to play inside the line, reluctant to commit.

Robinson then found Yashasvi Jaiswal’s outside edge only for the ball to fall inches short of Zak Crawley at second slip, before getting him to almost chop on. But Jaiswal settled nerves by handsomely driving Anderson through the covers and dispatching Robinson twice to leg.

At lunch, India were 34 for one after ten overs, with Jaiswal into his stride on 27 off 38 balls and Shubman Gill on four from 14.

Earlier, England Root and Robinson did well to negotiate a new ball burst from Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep, neither of whom bowled particularly well. Robinson, whose previous highest Test score was 42 on his debut in 2021, took three fours off Deep and then swept Ravindra Jadeja to move to 53* off 81 balls.

When Root pulled Siraj for four it brought up the hundred partnership, the first for England’s eighth wicket since Moeen Ali and Chris Woakes at Headingley in 2017.

Robinson went away from what had served him well when he tried a reverse sweep at Jadeja and gloved a catch to Dhruv Jurel. Shoaib Bashir sliced his second ball to backward point and when Anderson made a clumsy attempt at a sweep and was leg-before, Jadeja had mopped up three wickets in 11 balls.

Root almost fell on 119 when he edged Kuldeep Yadav short of slip, but finished with an unbeaten century for the tenth time in Tests, placing him joint sixth on the all-time list for not-out hundreds behind Shiv Chanderpaul, Sachin Tendulkar, Jacques Kallis, Steve Waugh and Allan Border.

At 104.5 overs, this was England’s longest innings overseas under Stokes, perhaps a reflection of their determination to bat time as much as score runs, and thereby deny India best use of a surface that everyone assumes will only get worse.
