With India requiring eight more wickets to win the final Test and square the series 2-2, they’ll be hoping for helpful weather conditions. Should Day 4 remain overcast, India’s pace trio of Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna and Akash Deep could exploit the conditions and find themselves in prime position to bowl England out.

Earlier in the match, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal laid the foundation for India’s sizable total with a dominant 118-run innings. His effort was complemented by Akash Deep’s aggressive maiden international half-century, with the pair adding a crucial century stand for the third wicket. The lower middle-order, featuring Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar, then provided the final push that helped India set England a challenging 374-run target.

While Saturday remained rain-free, Sunday’s weather (Day 4) is expected to be overcast with possible light rain during the second and third sessions (2 PM to 5 PM local time). Temperatures are forecast to remain steady at 20-21°C throughout the day.
