ENG vs IND live streaming: How to watch 1st Test Day 4 action for free?

As the 1st Test between India and England at Headingley heads into Day 4, the match remains finely balanced after three days of gripping action. Both teams have had their moments of control but neither has managed to seize complete dominance, setting up a potentially decisive "moving day." India began the Test strongly, piling up 471 runs in the first innings, thanks to brilliant centuries from Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and Rishabh Pant. However, from a commanding position at 430/3, India suffered a sudden collapse, losing their last seven wickets for just 41 runs, allowing England a route back into the contest. While Jasprit Bumrah stood out with a superb five-wicket haul, becoming the first Asian bowler to reach 150 Test wickets in SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia) nations, India's fielding let them down. Several dropped catches, including three by Jaiswal, gave England valuable reprieves. Harry Brook narrowly missed a century, falling on 99, while Ollie Pope added a crucial hundred. England ended their innings on 465, just six runs behind.

Tried not to think about discussions surrounding my place in side: Ollie Pope

LEEDS: His away series against India last year had started with a bang and ended in a whimper but Ollie Pope has consciously tried to not let discussions about his slot in the playing eleven affect him too much while constructing a stylish century during England's solid first innings reply on the second day of opening Test. Vice-captain Pope, whose place in the team has been under scanner since his technique got exposed by Jasprit Bumrah and Indian spinners in the 2024 away series, scored a fine 106 in England's first innings score of 465. For the record, Pope had started with 196 in Hyderabad and then in remaining four Tests, totalled 40 runs. "I've tried not to let it affect me too much," Pope said at post day press conference on Sunday. "I've just been trying to make sure my game's in as good a place as possible and when I get in, try to make sure I make the most of it. I've tried to let the outside noise do its thing and make sure my game keeps improving, and that I get my headspace in as good a place as possible too.
