England v India: fourth men's cricket Test, day one live
Briefly

Sports coverage prescribed on the NHS aims to help individuals struggling with depression. Sports embody community, inspiration, joy, and love. In cricket, England leads the series 2-1 despite challenges. India faces pressure to win the last two matches, especially with injured players absent. The teams' fate relies heavily on the conditions of the pitch at Old Trafford, which could favor either the fast bowlers or spinners. Historically, India has shown resilience, rebounding from a loss with a significant win, motivated by a sense of unity.
Sport is community and sport is company; sport is story and sport is inspiration; sport is joy and sport is love.
England hold a 2-1 lead despite having lost more days and sessions than they've won, revelated by the curious notion that winning beats losing.
India are in trouble, needing to win the last two matches to take the series, shorn of the injured Akash Deep and Nitish Kumar Reddy.
After the painful loss at Headingley, India retorted by clobbering England at Edgbaston, now fired by a sense of unity and injustice.
