Day 4
England decided to start the day by using both their spinners and their ploy worked well enough to see off the in-form Umair Nazim
Niranjan Gurupur started batting quite confidently after a nervous start to his innings
Gurupur tried to take on the military-medium Simranjit Singh, but only ended up spooning a simple catch to Shady at cover
