India vs England Live Score Updates, 4th Test Day 1: Ind vs Eng, Ben Stokes had the coin going in his favour on Friday as he won the toss and decided to bat first at the JSCA International Stadium Comple in Ranchi. While England had already announced two changes to their playing XI, India make only one change to the playing XI in the form of Akash Deep who takes the place of Jasprit Bumrah. India will win the series if they defeat England in this encounter while England would be aiming to get back to winning ways after two back-to-back losses.
BCC had earlier announced that India’s lead pacer Jasprit Bumrah had been released from the squad ahead of the 4th Test in Ranchi. The loss of Bumrah from the Indian setup has meant that there will be certain changes in the playing XI in order to find the veteran bowler’s replacement.
Meanwhile, the English camp have raised doubts about the nature of the pitch in Ranchi with skipper Ben Stokes going so far as to say that he had ‘never seen something like that’ and had no idea ‘what could happen’ at the wicket on Friday.
Following the trend of announcing their playing XI in advance, India released their team on Thursday making two changes with Rehan Ahmed and Mark Wood missing from the setup.

India vs England Live Score: Speaking about the Ranchi pitch, Stokes said, “I don’t know what could happen. If you looked down one side of opposite ends it just looked different to what I am used to seeing, especially out in India. It looked green and grassy up in the changing-rooms, but then you go out there, it looked different. Very dark and crumbly and quite a few cracks in it.”
