Root and Brook hit centuries before falling
Home side still needs 35 runs to claim series
First came bad light, then rain, and with it the penultimate day of this epic Test series ended with the ultimate cliffhanger. England had seemingly been cruising to their target of 374, driven by sparkling centuries from Harry Brook and Joe Root, only for India to strike back and leave them six wickets down, 35 runs still required, when the players left the field.
And so despite looking like a dramatic fourth day would bring finality to the contest, this fifth Test decider now heads into the fifth day with everything still on the line.
England will resume in the morning hoping that Jamie Smith, last of the top seven batters, can guide them to a 3-1 series victory and Chris Woakes, dislocated left arm in a sling, is not required to bat.
