India vs England Highlights, 4th Test Day 1: India 19/0, Trail England By 227 Runs At Stumps
Highlights India vs England: Sam Curran scored a gritty 78 runs helping England reach a modest total of 246 on Day 1 of the fourth Test.
India openers Shikhar Dhawan (3) and KL Rahul (11) survived the tricky 15-minute period towards the end as India finished day 1 of the fourth Test with 19 on the board without any loss. The day certainly belonged to the Indian pacers as they bundled out England for 246 in the final session on day 1 of the Southampton Test. England skipper Joe Root, after winning the toss opted to bat first, a decision that terribly went wrong for the hosts. The team was reeling at 57 for four at lunch after Jasprit Bumrah and Ishant sharma wreaked havoc with the new ball in swinging conditions. Rattling the top order, Bumrah dismissed Keaton Jennings (for a duck) and Jonny Bairstow (6) in first 30 minutes of the morning session. Ishant Sharma provided brilliant support from the other end, dismissing Joe Root (4) with a beautiful in-swinging delivery. After lunch, Mohammed Shami bowled superbly clinching two quick wickets of Jos Buttler (21) and Ben Stokes (23) but Sam Curran along with Moeen Ali took England out of trouble with a brilliant 81-run partnership. Post Ali's departure, Curran stitched another 63-run partnership with Stuart Broad for the ninth wicket to take England past 200-run mark. With the support from the lower middle order Curran to England to a respectable 246 before the team got all-out. For England, Sam Curran (78) was the highest scorer for the team. Moeen Ali too scored crucial 40 runs to take England out of trouble. For India, Jasprit Bumrah was the most successful bowler claiming three wickets. Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami and Ravichandran Ashwin bagged two wickets each.India still trail England by 227 runs in the first innings.(SCORECARD)

14:00 IST: Hello and welcome to the live match updates of Day 1 of the 4th Test between India and England.
On the other hand, England, who won their last encounter against India in Southampton by 266 runs, head into the fourth Test fretting over Jonny Bairstow's fitness. The wicket-keeper batsman broke a finger during the third Test at Trent Bridge and the hosts are still to consider whether they need to bolster their fallible top order. If Bairstow is ruled out completely, James Vince is set for an England recall on his home ground, with one-day wicket-keeper Jos Buttler taking over behind the stumps as happened during the third Test.
With a green-top laid out for the fourth Test, India will once again count on their pacers, who exposed the frailties in England top-order and accounted for 38 out of 46 wickets in the series so far. With the batsmen also finally coming to the party, there is little chance of tinkering with the playing XI. India have yet to field the same side for two consecutive Tests under Kohli's captaincy.
But that could change following a dominant display in Nottingham where, for the second match of the series, Kohli scored exactly 200 runs, including a century, having achieved the same feat in the first Test at Edgbaston. Ravichandran Ashwin's fitness continues to be a concern for India. He played through a hip stress during the Nottingham Test. So, Ravindra Jadeja has been gearing up with both bat and ball, hoping for a first call-up in this series just in case Ashwin isn't available at toss time.
