India vs England, 1st Test, Day 4

At the other end, Karthik looked very composed as he cruised to a half-century off 101 deliveries, including seven boundaries. His joy on reaching a fifty on his first appearance at Lord's was obvious as he removed his helmet and raised his bat to the crowd, who gave him a huge cheer.

At close on Day 4, India were 137 for 3 in 41 overs, still needing another 243 runs to win the match. Karthik was unbeaten on 56 and Ganguly on 36. The two batsmen added 53 runs in an unfinished fourth wicket stand.
