England`s Shoaib Bashir said on Sunday a finely poised IND vs ENG 4th Test offers his team`s young spin attack the `chance to be heroes`. Bashir took his first five-wicket haul in only his second Test to help bowl India out for 307 in the morning session of the third day in Ranchi before the hosts fought back, with India needing another 152 runs with 10 wickets in hand to win the match and the series.

Bashir, 20, and fellow spinner Tom Hartley, 24, are both still new to Test cricket but shared eight wickets between them in India`s first innings. However, senior Indian spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav then turned up the heat with nine wickets between them to dismiss England for 145 and tilt the game in the hosts` favour as they chase a winning total of 192.
