Joe Root's impressive century helped England dominate on the first day of the fourth Test against India. Despite losing early wickets, Root's partnership with Ben Foakes helped the team recover and end the day with a strong score of 302/7. India fought back with some key wickets, but Root's unbeaten stand with Ollie Robinson has put England in a good position.
After a string of poor performances and questions about his batting approach, Joe Root returned to form in the fourth Test against India, scoring a brilliant century on the first day.

Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin is just three wickets away from becoming the leading wicket-taker in Tests on home soil. He recently surpassed former teammate Anil Kumble to become the second India bowler to take 500 Test wickets. As India and England prepare for the fourth Test, all eyes will be on Ashwin as he looks to overtake Kumble's tally of 350 wickets in home Tests. Former South Africa captain AB de Villiers praised Ashwin's achievements and labelled him as a legend in the making.
Skipper Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja displayed brilliant centuries to lead India to a solid total of 326/5 after a shaky start in the 3rd Test against England. However, the hosts could have been in an even stronger position if not for Sarfaraz Khan's unfortunate run out. With the series tied at 1-1, India will need their inexperienced middle order, including debutants Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel, to step up in the absence of veterans like Virat Kohli. England's Mark Wood stood out with the ball, while hometown boy Jadeja made a successful comeback after missing the previous test due to injury.
Yashasvi Jaiswal's unbeaten 179* leads India to 336/6 at stumps on Day 1 of the second Test, while Sunil Gavaskar leaves commentary midway due to personal tragedy.

Debutants Ollie Pope and Tom Hartley played a crucial role, with Pope scoring 196 runs and Hartley taking a key wicket in the final over of day four. England captain Ben Stokes called it his "greatest triumph" as captain, while another debutant, Shoaib Bashir, will be hoping to make an impact in the third Test match after being called up to replace Jack Leach. India, on the other hand, are dealing with two injuries to KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja, making their task of coming back in the series even harder.
