Ind vs Eng: Rain plays spoilsport again as fifth day's start delayed
Nottingham, Aug 8: Heavy rain and thick cloud cover delayed the start of the first session on the fifth day of the opening Test match with India needing 157 runs more and hosts England in search of nine wickets.
Chasing a victory target of 209, India finished the fourth day on 52 for 1 after England, riding on skipper Joe Root's 21st Test hundred, scored 303 in their second innings.
This was after India got a 95-run first innings lead in reply to hosts' total of 183.
It remains to be seen how much overs can be sneaked in the remaining two sessions in case play is not possible till lunch.

4 workers die after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad
Dhanbad (Jharkhand) (PTI): At least four workers died after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Saturday, a police official said.
The incident took place at Moonidih coal washery in the command area of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL).
"Bodies of all four workers were dug out of debris during a rescue operation," Putki police station in-charge Waqar Hussain told PTI.
The incident took place when coal slurry was being loaded into trucks by workers, during which a large chunk of slurry fell and trapped several workers underneath, officials said.
The deceased have been identified as Manik Bauri, Dinesh Bauri, Deepak Bauri, and Hemlal Gope.
Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased and local villagers placed the bodies in front of the washery gate and began a protest.
They demanded compensation, jobs for dependents and action against those responsible for the incident.
Police and administration officials are trying to pacify the protesters, an official said.
