The England attack continued to make inroads into India's batting line-up as the hosts attempted to bat long enough to end what little hope England had of forcing a positive result to level the series.

Having dismissed England for 302 to establish a 151-run first-innings advantage - claiming their last four wickets for just 20 runs in 44 minutes - India crawled to 90 for four from 40 overs by late afternoon on the fourth day.

Earlier in the day, Harbhajan Singh was the pick of the Indian attack, claiming three wickets to finish with figures of four for 68.

India's reply began promisingly enough with their opening pair racing to 30 without loss in six overs before Virender Sehwag ran himself out going for a quick single off Stuart Broad.

His demise prompted a change of emphasis for India, who added only 14 runs in the next 13 overs before Rahul Dravid was bowled for a 19-ball duck by a full-length Broad delivery which kept low.

James Anderson claimed another big wicket six overs before tea when Sachin Tendulkar steered a back foot shot to gully.

Midway through the final session, all-rounder Andrew Flintoff swooped at cover to run out VVS Laxman, his team-mate at Lancashire next season, after Gautam Gambhir had called for a quick single.
