Day 4 in a nutshell!

Rohit Sharma (12) disappointed once again at the top of the order as India ended Day 4 of the Chennai Test at 39/1, still 381 runs behind in their chase of a massive target of 420 set by England. Ashwin took six wickets to bundle out the visitors for 178 in the second innings but a big first innings lead of 246 helped England set a target in excess of 400. In a bid to survive a tricky 50-minute period towards the end of the day, both Rohit and Shubman Gill started off confidently until spinner Jack Leach outwitted Rohit with a perfect delivery. Gill (15*) and Cheteshwar Pujara (12*) were at the rescue after Rohit's departure, stitching an unbeaten 14-run partnership off 45 balls. India, now have a huge task at their hands on Day 5 with the pitch expected to turn into a dust bowl.
