Ahmedabad:\u00a0Indian spinners Axar Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin took seven wickets between them as England were dismissed for 205 on the first day of the fourth and final Test on Thursday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

India, leading the series 2-1, were 24 for one at stumps after England fast bowler James Anderson trapped Shubman Gill lbw for nought on the third ball of the innings.<\/p>\n

Rohit Sharma (8) and Cheteshwar Pujara (15) were batting.<\/p>\n

Joe Root again won the toss and chose to bat at the world’s biggest\u00a0cricket\u00a0venue in Ahmedabad, where India won the spin-dominated third Test inside two days.<\/p>\n

Wickets again fell thick and fast and Ben Stokes’ 55 held England’s score together.<\/p>\n

Spin was introduced in the sixth over and Patel removed openers Dom Sibley for two and Zak Crawley for nine.<\/p>\n

Root went for five to an in-swinging Mohammed Siraj delivery as his side slumped to 30-3 before Stokes\u00a0put on key partnerships with Jonny Bairstow, who made 28, and Ollie Pope (29).<\/p>\n

Bairstow was trapped lbw by a rising Siraj delivery and failed in a review that showed the ball would have clipped the top of middle stump.<\/p>\n

Ashwin tested Pope with his off-spin after tea and the batsman was unlucky to get an inside edge off his back pad that went to short leg, and Gill took a simple catch.<\/p>\n

Stokes reached his 24th Test fifty with a boundary off a reverse sweep, but the left-hander fell to a Washington Sundar delivery from around the wicket.<\/p>\n

Patel, who has claimed 22 wickets in three Tests and took 11 in the previous match, got Dan Lawrence stumped four short of his fifty.<\/p>\n

Siraj and Stokes were involved in a verbal duel, joined by India captain Virat Kohli, until the umpires intervened. Stokes then hit back with three boundaries off the quick bowler.<\/p>\n

England fast bowler Jofra Archer was left out of the game with a “right elbow issue” that made him miss the second Test.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
