17:03 Local Time, 11:33 GMT, 17:03 IST: That’s Stumps on Day 4! Surprisingly, it turned out to be a highly productive day for the bowlers, with nine wickets tumbling across three sessions. East Zone wiped out the South Zone tail early in the morning, and as expected, opted against enforcing the follow-on on what remains a good batting deck. They stumbled early in their second innings, losing both openers cheaply, but skipper Ishan Kishan and Shikhar Mohan steadied the ship with a vital partnership. South Zone fought back with a cluster of quick middle-order wickets, but first-innings centurion Kumar Kushagra and Zeeshan Ansari have counter-attacked brilliantly, forging an unbeaten 50-plus run stand. East Zone now lead by a mammoth 584 runs. Expect them to add a few quick runs tomorrow morning before declaring and unleashing their bowlers. Join us again tomorrow for what promises to be a thrilling final day, until then, it’s goodbye from all of us here...
