Day 4 at Edgbaston saw India dominate with a commanding lead as KL Rahul (55), Karun Nair (26), Rishabh Pant (65) and Shubman Gill (83*, 170‑plus in match) powered India past a 440‑run advantage. Pant entertained with aggressive strokeplay, even comically losing grip of his bat mid‑shot. Gill surpassed Virat Kohli’s records, cementing a sensational debut captaincy series. England’s bowlers Carse and Tongue showed resilience, but were hampered by dropped chances and unpredictable pitch conditions. Ben Stokes appeared fatigued, raising fitness concerns. England's chances now hinge on a dramatic fightback, but India appears poised to declare and set an imposing target. (PC: NDTV & Hindustan Times)
