"Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal Lead India's Charge Against England in 4th Test"

On day four of the India vs England 4th Test, Joe Root struck to dismiss Yashasvi Jaiswal for 37 runs, as India chased a target of 192 to win. At stumps on day 3, India was 40 for no loss, with Rohit Sharma and Jaiswal at the crease. India needs 108 runs to win, and the aggressive start by the openers suggests a decisive finish, but both batsmen will need to refocus on the new day. England will look to Shoaib Bashir for a comeback, while India's spinners Ashwin and Kuldeep set up the potential series-clinching win.
