India beat England by five wickets to win the fourth Test in Ranchi and guarantee a Test series win.

England’s young spinners Tom Hartley and Shoaib Bashir bowled with great maturity to make the hosts work in the morning session of day four – Bashir frightened India by adding three wickets to his first-innings five-fer.

But ultimately, England left the hosts with too little to do and an unbroken partnership between Shubman Gill and Dhruv Jurel saw India home to their 192 target.

India lead the five-match series 3-1 with one match to play.

What TV channel is India vs England on?

In the UK, TNT Sports (formerly BT Sport) is showing the series after reaching an agreement just nine days before the first ball was bowled. The matches are also available to view on discovery+. Commentary is being taken from the world feed, which features Kevin Pietersen and Eoin Morgan.

Although there was no studio presence at all for the first Test, for rest of the series TNT Sports flew Alastair Cook and Steven Finn to Sweden in order to get up early and provide an on-screen presence. The studio host is Kate Mason.

The live radio coverage is on Talksport 2, not BBC Test Match Special. Although the BBC bid for the rights, they were beaten by the commercial broadcaster. Talksport is broadcasting England’s tour of India primarily from London with a significantly reduced team on location in Rajkot and Ranchi.
