RANCHI, India, Feb 26, (AP): India took an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match test series against England by winning the fourth test by five wickets .
Chasing 192 to win, India lost five wickets for 36 runs to be reduced to 120-5 but Shubman Gill and Dhruv Jurel put on a sixth-wicket partnership of 72 runs to get the hosts over the line.
It is the first test series’ defeat for England under captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum.
India's victory was set up on Sunday's third day when England's batting lineup collapsed to be all out for 145 in its second innings as the tourists surrended the initiative after taking a 46-run lead from the first innings.

India's victory here gives it unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-test series. England had won the first test in Hyderabad by 28 runs. India responded by winning the second test in Visakhapatnam by 106 runs, and then the third test in Rajkot by 434 runs. The fifth test will be played in Dharamsala from March 7.
Chasing 192, India resumed Monday at 40 without loss. Captain Rohit Sharma completed his half century and seemingly had set India on course for victory, before England snared three wickets to keep their slight hopes alive of achieving a dramatic turnaround.

Sharma shared an 84-run opening stand with Yashasvi Jaiswal, before the latter was spectacularly caught by veteran James Anderson off Joe Root for 37 to give the tourists a much-needed breakthrough against the seemingly comfortable Indian opening pair.
Jaiswal’s wicket sparked a mini-collapse as India went from 84-0 to 100-3 inside nine overs as England sniffed a chance of victory.
