PIX: Axar, Ashwin torment England again

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.

Pitch looks the same but we learn our lessons: Root
'I think that as batters if you don't score runs, you will always look at yourselves, you'll always try and find ways to improve and we've certainly done that.' IMAGE: Joe Root bats in the nets in Ahmedabad on Wednesday. Photograph: England Cricket/Twitter England skipper Joe Root on Wednesday said the pitch for the fourth and final Test against India looks very similar to the one on which his team was decimated in the third game but the visitors have learnt their lessons to be ready for the challenge starting Thursday.

Photograph: Jordan Mansfield/Getty Images for Surrey CCC Amid debate over how the pitch played during the third Test in Ahmedabad, West Indies great Vivian Richards slammed England for complaining about the spinning wicket and added that he wants to see a similar track in the final Test of the series.

Richards also feels that batters need to prepare themselves for these conditions rather than complaining about the spinning conditions.
