India Vs England, 4th Test: As it happened: Curran lone warrior for hosts, India bowlers shine

This brings us to end of an exciting day's play. Catch you tomorrow with the second day's play.

Stumps! India end the first day's play on a high as they managed to restrict England's innings on the first day itself and didn't lose any wicket when they came out to bat for four over. India are 19 without loss at stumps. KL Rahul (11*) and Shikhar Dhawan (3*) will resume their innings on Day 2 and look to add some runs to their total. England, on the other hand, would be hoping to rattle India's inning cheaply.

Batting getting easier. In spite of a fine England recovery, I still think this was more India's day then England's.

Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul open the innings for India and James Anderson and Stuart Broad start the proceedings for the hosts with the new ball.

India have bowled very well today and without that fantastic knock by the 20-year-old Surrey lad, they could be trailing by a lot less. They'll have around 15 minutes to survive tonight but so far, it has been their day.

India must be happy with their effort.

Total of 246 is fine recovery from 86-6 by Eng, but India would have taken this happily at start of play after losing toss. What’s crucial is how their batsmen cope in time remaining tonite. Couple of wickets and balance could tilt other way

Wicket! Sam Curran (78) departs and @englandcricket post 246/10 in 76.4 overs against India. The tail-enders have ensured they have a decent total on the board.

Top innings from Sam Curran. Excellent find for England. Now India have a tricky few overs ahead of them

Wicket! England have lost their ninth wicket in Stuart Broad (17). Broad is dismissed LBW off Bumrah but England have reached a decent total so far. England 240/9. Curran has still kept his wicket intact at the other end.

50-runs partnership between Stuart Broad and Sam Curran off 43 balls for the ninth wicket. These runs are going to hurt India when they'll come out to bat. Curran has definitely taken his team to a decent total.

More praise for young Sam Curran.

Sam Curran’s find of the year for England this year, perhaps in the sport. Fantastic half century under acute pressure. Has shown up the pusillanimity of his highly reputed team mates

SIX! This shot brings up Fifty for Sam Curran and 200 for England. The youngster has notched up his second Test half-century in just his third game. Once again he's helped England revive from a spot of bother and ensured his team added a decent total on the board.

Sam Curran brings up a fifty with a six for the second time in the series. England should never have dropped him.

Drinks break! England have reached 194/8 after 68 overs against India. Sam Curran (47*) is racing towards another fine half-century. The youngster proving to be a brilliant lower-middle order batsman for England.

Wicket! Ishant Sharma traps Adil Rashid in front and the batsman walks back towards the pavilion. England had none of their reviews left else he could have survived.

A Wicket finally! the 81-run stand between Moeen Ali and Sam Curran comes to an end. Ali (40) is caught by Jasprit Bumrah as the batsman top edges R Ashwin.

6! Moeen Ali walks down the ground and hits R Ashwin for a maximum over the bowler's head. In a battle of off-spinners Ali has taken up the challenge head on.

Ashwin's average speed in this series has been 87.33kph - only twice in his career has he bowled faster in a Test series. One was in England in 2014, and the other was the following tour of Australia. #ENGvIND

Play resumes for the third and final session of the day. Moeen Ali and Sam Curran would be looking to extend their partnership to another fifty runs and take England to a decent total in their first innings.

It's tea time at Rose Bowl and England have reached 138/6 in 51 overs. Moeen Ali and Sam Curran's resolve has ensured England add 53 runs without losing any wicket. The hosts revived their innings after the top six batsmen failed to perform.

That's Tea on Day 1 of the 4th Test.

In 27 overs bowled in the second session, India conceded 82 runs and took 2 wickets.

England - 139/6

From 32/4 to 133/6, England have shown a comeback against Indian bowlers. Reaching 200 would be a huge morale booster for the hosts. Sam Curran and Moeen Ali have already started frustrating the Indian bowlers.

132-6 would suggest a team in trouble and yet it is quite a comeback from 36-4. Shows that if you hang in, there are runs to be made here

— Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) August 30, 2018

Hardik Pandya has leaked 37 runs from his 6 overs. Sam Curran hit 14 runs from the sixth over bowled by Pandya. Curran and Moeen are playing him with ease and the pressure has been released. Time to get back to strike pacers and get the remaining four wickets.

Moeen Ali has played-and-missed with 16% of his shots today, more than double the next highest figure for any England batsman. #ENGvIND

100 up for England! A boundary from Moeen Ali's bat and the hosts have reached 101/6.

Moeen Ali averages 32.57 against the short ball in Test cricket, slightly more than his overall Test average. #ENGvIND

Unlucky Stokes!

Only seven of the deliveries Stokes faced in his innings swung less than that one which dismissed him. #ENGvIND pic.twitter.com/VBoDIM345t

Drinks break! England are 89/6 after 36 overs. Sam Curran and Moeen Ali are present at the crease and hosts would be hoping these two add some runs on the board.

Wicket! The partnership between Moeen Ali and Ben Stokes is also broken as Mohammed Shami traps Stokes (23) in front. The left-handed batsman went upstairs to review the umpire's decision but in vain. England - 86/6 in 34.4 overs.

This is how Shami set up Buttler to get his wicket.

Buttler was outwitted by Shami there. The two balls were ended up reaching Buttler around 10cm apart, but the wicket ball actually pitched over a metre fuller - the ball leapt up, and caught Jos out. #ENGvIND pic.twitter.com/UbxIJ2gFaI

Wicket! Jos Buttler is caught at slip cordon by Virat Kohli. It was a sharp catch as Buttler edged Shami Mohammed Shami and paid the price. England are 69/5.

It's Lunch Time at Southampton. England are 57/4 after 24 overs and the players are walking towards the dressing room. Indian bowlers dominated this session as the hosts' top four are back into the pavilion. Buttler - 13* and Stokes - 12* are present at the crease and would be hoping to forge a big partnership in the second session.

Dropped! Jos Buttler gets a breather as Rishab Pant failed to hold on to that nick from the bottom of the bat off Mohammed Shami. Is it going to cost India?

Not the kind of start from England's top four in this Test series.

In their entire history, England have played 235 Test series of at least two matches. This series, England's top four are averaging 17.70 - the lowest for all but five of those series. #ENGvIND

Wicket! Alastair Cook's innings comes to and end at 17. England are 34/4 and the Indian bowlers are rocking. Hardik Pandya got the veteran batsman caught at slip by skipper Virat Kohli.

If Cook fails just 27 more times, his place will probably come under scrutiny.

— George Dobell (@GeorgeDobell1) August 30, 2018

Mohammed Shami and Hardik Pandya are being brought into the attack as Ishant Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah bowled superbly in the first spell.

Half Century for Umpire Bruce Oxenford!

Ahead of standing in his 50th Test match, we asked Bruce Oxenford - how did you get into umpiring? pic.twitter.com/Cn5Nx0yL4r
