England are on the verge of a huge defeat by India in the third Test despite the defiance of Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes on day four at Trent Bridge.
Buttler made his maiden Test century and Stokes 62 in a fifth-wicket partnership of 169 that hauled England from 62-4.
BOOM! Bumrah breaks the deadlock and he takes two wickets in 2 balls. #TeamIndia now four wickets away from a win.

- India need one more wicket to win Test
- – England were given faint hope by 169-run stand between Buttler & Stokes
- – Buttler hit highest Test score (106) in England rearguard
- – England lost four wickets for 10 runs after Buttler dismissal
- – Stokes registers his slowest Test half-century in making 62
- – Hosts chasing improbable 521 to win
But when Buttler was lbw for 106, playing no shot to Jasprit Bumrah, it began a slide that saw England lose four wickets for 10 runs to the second new ball.
The swiping of Adil Rashid and Stuart Broad took play into an extra half hour and, even though Broad became paceman Bumrah’s fifth victim, last man James Anderson helped Rashid survive for another 5.4 overs.
Stumps on Day 4. India one wicket away from victory. A 5-wkt haul for @Jaspritbumrah93.#ENGvIND pic.twitter.com/xXJrKrkyxP
