At the end of an action-packed Day 4 of the opening Test between India and England at Headingley, the hosts stood at 21 without loss, requiring 350 more runs on the final day to clinch a remarkable win. With all 10 wickets still intact and three sessions left to play, the stage is set for a thrilling conclusion, with all four results still in the balance.

Chasing a daunting 371 for victory, England openers Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett survived a tense six-over period late in the evening to ensure no early damage was done. Crawley looked positive right from the outset, signaling his intent by cracking consecutive boundaries off Mohammed Siraj. He finished the day unbeaten on 12 off 18 balls, while Duckett provided steady support with 9* off 18 deliveries.

India, having bowled England out for 465 in their first innings and posted 364 in their second innings thanks to centuries from KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, handed the new ball to Siraj and Prasidh Krishna. But the pitch offered little assistance to the seamers under fading light at Headingley.
