Eng 2nd inns: 69-1 (16 ovs); Target: 399 | Scorecard

Jasprit Bumrah starts off with the ball for India on Day 4. The first ball is pitched back of length as Crawley defends it on the off-side and offers no shot to the next and does the same to the third ball.

Crawley avoids the rest of the over as Bumrah begins the day with a maiden over.

Left-arm spinner Axar Patel from the other end. Rehan Ahmed shows intent rightaway as he tries to loft the first ball but mistimes it on the bounce to mid-on.

He punches the third ball into the off-side for a single for the first run of the day.

Crawley drives the next straight back past the bowler for one.

Rehan has a big swing but this time inside edges it on to his pads and watchfully defends the last ball.
