India vs England 1st Test Day 4 Cricket Match highlights: England beat India by 28 runs, lead series 1-0

IND vs ENG 1st Test Highlights: Ollie Pope and Tom Hartley scripted England's remarkable turnaround and set up a thrilling 28-run victory against India in the opening Test at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Sunday.

India had looked to be in the box seat after taking a lead of 190 but Pope's epic 196 resuscitated England, who posted 420 all out in their second innings to roar back into the contest.

That left the hosts needing 231 to win the match but Hartley's 7-62 in his debut Test wrecked India, who were all out for 202 in an extended final session on the penultimate day.

Rohit Sharma's 39 was the top score by an Indian batter in the second innings.

Ravichandran Ashwin (28) and Srikar Bharat (28) added 57 runs for the eighth wicket to try to take the match into its final day but that was not to be.

The second match of the five-Test series, in Visakhapatnam, begins on Friday.

'You don't need to coach him' (on Bumrah), he's exceptionally skilled, always brings something different to the table. He' s always energetic, always ready to speak with the other bowlers, gives plenty of tips to Rohit, he just acts like a brother and looks to be on top of his game. If I look at the bowling perspective, all we need is to bowl 4 good balls, as soon as it comes, it's better for us. It's not the right thing to think about keeping the lead down to 140-150, the right thing is to hit the right areas, land a chunk of balls in a good area and get those 4 good balls as early as we can, that's what we're thinking right now.

We were challenged, we knew how they were going to play, they're accessing different areas unlike the other teams when they come to the sub-continent. To be honest, we never thought that they would be rolled over like in the past, but we knew we would be challenged with our bowling. But we know we have the class and the experience in our bowling unit to come up trumps.

Paras Mhambrey, India bowling coach

09:23 (IST) Jan 28

You try to exploit different parts of the field and make it hard for the bowlers to bowl the same ball time and time again. Yesterday, Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope in particular put on an exhibition and how to do that. Not with just one type of reverse sweep but four or five ways of playing that shot which opened up a massive part of the field. (Score that can put India under a lot of pressure) The most important thing is we try and take the scoreboard out of it like we did yesterday, went out there and we played in the manner that we wanted to play. If we keep focusing mainly on that rather than outcomes, we'll give ourselves a better chance of being in a strong position at the end of the innings. We have two talented guys at the crease now, we still have guys in the shed who are more than capable of some handy runs. I'm sure the pitch will deteriorate again as the day progresses. We gotta keep believing, keep fighting hard and play in the manner that suits us the best.

Joe Root

09:23 (IST) Jan 28

Yeah, much more than in England (enjoy bowling in India). Little bit more to work with. (Bumrah's spell) Too good for me, I didn't last long enough to get through it. He's a quality bowler. When it starts to reverse, 4 or 5 overs of really tough batting, which if we can get through you can hopefully reap rewards, but unfortunately in my case, I couldn't. One of the most exciting things about yesterday was watching Ollie get through that, the way he managed that and obviously the rest of his innings as well. Some of the partnerships with few of the other guys means that we are well in the game now. Most of the guys play it (reverse sweep) a lot now anyway. Here, you got to find different ways of putting pressure back on the bowler, that's how we want to play, that's how we have played for a good while now as a team. That's a shot that can be very effective in this part of the world when the ball is turning.

Joe Root

IND vs ENG Live: PITCH REPORT
There's more bounce at one end when compared to the other end. So, the batters need to be wary about going forward or playing back. The pitch hasn't changed a lot, the black soil has held the pitch firm and there are a lot of runs still on offer. England will think they have the spinners, Joe Root, in particular and they could do something special,' reckons Kevin Pietersen, who says it's advantage England. Murali Kartik thinks it's advantage India with only Joe Root a factor.
