Brydon Carse keeps England alive against India on day four at Lord's

Carse trapped Karun Nair and captain Shubman Gill lbw in a crucial spell from the Pavilion End. Ben Stokes then bowled nightwatchman Akash Deep with the final ball of the day, leaving India 58-4, still 135 runs short of their target of 193.

Earlier, England were bowled out for 192 on a deteriorating pitch. Washington Sundar took 4-22, while Jasprit Bumrah claimed two wickets. England collapsed from a strong position, losing their last six wickets for 38 runs.

Harry Brook was bowled for 23 sweeping Akash Deep. Joe Root made 40 and Stokes 33, both falling to Sundar. In total, 12 England batters were bowled â” a record for a home Test.

In Indiaâ™s reply, Jofra Archer dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal for a duck. Chris Woakes dropped a return catch off KL Rahul when he was on 5.

England looked to be fading before Carseâ™s impact and Stokesâ™ final strike. The match is finely balanced heading into the final day.

Shoaib Bashir, who injured his finger on day three, is available to bowl but is likely to miss the final two Tests.
