India's first innings continued in strange fashion on the fourth morning until MS Dhoni declared with a deficit of four runs following an hour where the game had not moved anywhere. Despite being behind in the series the remaining batsmen dealt mostly in singles with R Aswhin starting the day declining singles meaning the game didn't move anywhere.

India now have five-and-a-half sessions to try and conjure a victory. The pitch remains docile in the extreme and their best hope appears to be that the pressure starts to tell on England during their final push for a famous series victory. England, for their part, need to be careful that their second innings is not inflicted by a negative mindset which came be a danger in a third innings when a draw is on the cards.

They certainly didn't push their case with the ball. It quickly became clear that they weren't trying too hard to take the remaining two wickets, content to allow India to prod and poke around to take time out of the game. When Monty Panesar bowled Pragyan Ojha there was barely a flicker of emotion from any of the players and even Panesar - who had waited 50 overs for a wicket - didn't manage as much as a clap. They had been quite happy to watch Ojha compile 3 from 32 balls.

Twice further instructions came out from the dressing room, but the plans never really changed much from the batsmen. Ashwin, who has batted superbly during the series, was in no trouble at the crease but neither did he do any damage. Nine overs into the day he finally scored a two but there wasn't a single boundary during India's hour at the crease.
