IND vs ENG 1st Test Highlights: Hartley ends with 7-wicket haul as India lose to England despite a lead

England skipper Ben Stokes was honest in his assessment of the match saying that it was the greatest-ever win for his country since he became the captain and that the innings Ollie Pope played was the greatest knock by an English batter on Indian soil.

England have done it. England's Bazball has hurt India for the second time, and the first time in their own backyard as despite taking a 190-run lead, the hosts weren't good enough in the end. Ollie Pope's 196 proved to be the difference while debutant Tom Hartley recovered from a horrible start to end with 9 wickets for the game including figures of 7/62.

Hartley is on fire as he has dismissed both the set batters KS Bharat and now R Ashwin as the latter decided to step out needlessly, and was dismissed for 28.

Big big wicket for Tom Hartley as he brings a breakthrough for England by bowling out KS Bharat. England now need only two wickets to win this game with Ashwin still batting. India - 176/8 in 62 overs.

Ashwin and Bharat have somehow balanced the game with excellent resistance and add an unbeaten 54 runs for the eighth wicket. India - 173/7 in 61 overs.

Ravichandran Ashwin and KS Bharat play out sixteen overs and get India past 150. The duo has raised some hopes for the hosts who need 78 overs to win this game. India - 153/7 in 57 overs.

The last 15 overs of Day 4 are underway with England in a dominant position to take the game. India are still fighting with Ravichandran Ashwin and KS Bharat trying to avoid losing wickets to find some momentum. India - 138/7 in 50 overs.

Are KS Bharat and Ravichandran Ashwin looking to avoid the inevitable as England spinners continue to ask questions? India - 134/7 in 48 overs.

This is suicidal now. Ravindra Jadeja has been run-out. Jadeja struck this towards mid-on and ran for a single. Ben Stokes made a spectacular effort with a reverse arm hit to catch Jadeja short off the ground.

India are five down now. Root gets Rahul

Hartley makes another Indian batter his victim. This is his fourth of the innings and he has got Axar now. This was a tossed-up fuller ball, Axar looked for a drive but ended up hitting it straight into the hands of the bowler. India 4 down.

India have lost three wickets in this session. They came out to bat with a target of 231 ahead of them. A shared one

Axar Patel drives Rehan Ahmed down the ground, through the covers and also smashes a pull towards the mid-wicket region for three cracking boundaries. India are 94/3 after 27 overs.

The Rohit Sharma-led side is behind the eight ball as England are piling on the pressure. India are 73/3 after 24 overs and still require 158 runs to win the Test match.

And that's big blow for India. Rohit has been dismissed LBW by Tom Hartley. This was pitched fuller and Rohit looked for spin. But there was none and the ball hit him on the pads. He reviews but to no avail. India 3 down now

Shubman Gill went back soon after Jaiswal as he handed a catch to silly mid-off. Hartley got two in the same over. Rahul and Rohit are now rebuilding things for India. 

England get the opening wicket. Jaiswal has been caught at short-leg off Hartley.

Rohit Sharma is off to a quick start and has raced to 15 off 14 balls as India pursue 231.

India have began the 231-run chase as Rohit and Jaiswal are out in the middle. Root to begin for England.

And India finally bowl England out! Ollie Pope departs, and Bumrah gets the final wicket as the English star misses out on a well-deserved double-century. Bumrah bowls on the stumps fuller one and Pope looks to reverse scoop. But misses the ball and he falls four short of a double ton.

Jadeja now gets Wood caught behind and England go 9 down. 

Sigh of relief for the Indians. Ashwin has bowled Hartley. This was straight on stumps and stayed a bit low. Hartley goes for 34. The 80-run stand is broken. But Pope is still tall.

England are not looking to stop anytime soon. Pope is cruising towards a famous double century. Hartley is not stopping either. England are leading by 220 after 98 overs.

Ohh no! How can you drop him twice? Rahul spills this out, he has dropped the big man down

India have taken the new ball. But Rohit brought Ashwin and Jadeja with the new ball not the pacers. He now goes to Siraj for the first time today.

Jasprit Bumrah is able to reverse swing the ball and that is the major reason why India are not taking a new ball.

Ollie Pope has become only the third England batter to make a score of over 150 in the second innings against India. The first two are Ken Barrington (172 in Kanpur, 1961) & Alastair Cook (176 in Ahmedabad, 2012)

Jasprit Bumrah gets Rehan Ahmed and that's the first wicket for the day. Gets it to reverse swing from a good length area outside off. Rehan has a poke at it and it is safely taken by Bharat. India get the 7th one.

Early joy for the visitors as Ollie Pope gets to his 150 in the second over of the day. A gentle push towards the off-side and he gets a single to get to the mark. The crowd is lively and cheering for the milestone. A much deserved one surely.

It's time to start a day again. England's overnight pair of Rehan Ahmed and OIlie Pope are in the middle. Ravindra Jadeja to roll the arm first up

India's bowling coach Paras Mhambrey said that India's bowling was challenged on Day 3. "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," Mhambrey says ahead of the start of Day 4. He added that the team needs to deliver four good balls to get the remainder of the wickets.

"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," he added.

England lead India by 126 runs already and any further addition to it will make the job difficult for the hosts in the fourth innings.

Kevin Pietersen is already looking forward to Joe Root the bowler on day 4 and why not, he was the best bowler from the England side in the first innings. "Roooooooooooooooooooooot for England with the ball today…" Pietersen writes on X.

Ollie Pope's knock (148*) can turn out to be the deciding factor in the ongoing Test. India have to get rid of him early to stand a chance of winning the Test and taking a 1-0 lead.

Root has heaped praise on Ollie Pope's masterclass. "The way that Popey has played today... honestly it's an absolute masterclass on how to bat in these conditions as an overseas player, someone that's not exposed to these surfaces day in and day out and to come back off a serious injury like he had in summer and have that amount of time out of the game and then put together that... I'm speechless," Root said after Day 3.

It's Day 4 in the IND vs ENG 1st Test in Hyderabad. A day, which many people believed might not come in this Test match due to the utter dominance of the Indian team on the first two days. But thanks to a sensational unbeaten hundred from Ollie Pope, England are daring to dream. Daring to dream against a bowling line-up including the likes of Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel and also featuring Jasprit Bumrah. Pope swept, reverse-swept to put the Indian attack off their lengths. He is still unbeaten on 148 and England are now leading by 126 with 4 wickets in hand. Can they take it to 200?
