Photograph: Surjeet Yadav/Getty Images England endured a top-order collapse before they registered a below-par 205 in their first innings in the fourth and final Test against India in Ahmedabad on Thursday. A sixth consecutive sub-200 total looked on the cards for the tourists after they slumped to 30-3 in the morning session. Ben Stokes (55) and Dan Lawrence (46) propped them up but England might regret not making the most of the perfect batting conditions at the Narendra Modi Stadium. India, who are 2-1 up in the four-Test series, were 24-1 at stumps and will be confident against a spin-heavy England attack with James Anderson as the lone frontline seamer.

Photograph: BCCI Young England opener Zak Crawley on Tuesday echoed opposition vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane's sentiments on the Motera strip which he believes will be 'similar' in nature but red ball will make it 'slightly easier' for the batsmen.

"Yeah, I think it will be a very similar pitch this week. It wasn't easy to score for sure, but it was the same for both sides, and they played very well compared to us. So, we had our chance to bat first and did well and unfortunately, we didn't play well as we needed to," Crawley said at a virtual press conference on Tuesday ahead of the fourth Test.
