England stands poised to attempt a historic victory after an Indian collapse in the first test at Headingley. With a target of 371, openers Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett remained defiant against India's bowlers, finishing 21-0 at the end of day four.
The pivotal moment came when England's Josh Tongue excelled in dismissing the Indian tail, taking three wickets in just four balls. India's second innings concluded disastrously at 364, setting the stage for England's challenging yet attainable chase.
