India set England 368 to win fourth Test

India were all out for 466 in their second innings, setting England a victory target of 368 in the fourth Test at The Oval on Sunday.

Opener Rohit Sharma top-scored for India with a stellar 127, while Cheteshwar Pujara (61), Shardul Thakur (60) and Rishabh Pant (50) hit fifties.

Chris Woakes was the pick of the English bowlers claiming 3-83.

It was a strong recovery by the touring side who lost three wickets, including captain Virat Kohli, after resuming on 270-3.

Kohli's partnership with Ravindra Jadeja had yielded 59 runs when Joe Root brought back Chris Woakes and the all-rounder, playing his first test in 12 months, responded with two quick wickets.

Woakes trapped Jadeja plumb in front for 17, and three balls later, Ajinkya Rahane was also adjudged lbw after leaving a delivery.

The India vice-captain reviewed the decision and survived after replays confirmed the ball would have gone just over the stumps.

There was no such doubt in Woakes's next over, however, when he beat Rahane's tentative bat and hit the pad to dismiss the out-of-form batsman for a duck

With left-hander Pant at the crease, Root introduced Moeen and the off-spinner got Kohli caught at slip six runs shy of what could have been the batsman's third fifty in as many innings.

Thakur had smashed a 36-ball 57 in the first innings and he followed with a relatively restrained 60, which included a towering six off Ollie Robinson.

Both batsmen, however, fell in successive overs. Thakur edging Root to slip and Pant giving a return catch to Moeen soon after completing his fifty.

The five-Test series is level at 1-1.
