India have reached 167-3 at the close of play on day four of the first Test against England at Trent Bridge, putting them 128 runs ahead.

Having resumed on 57-1 after tea, Murali Vijay (52) and Cheteshwar Pujara (55) were dismissed with successive balls by Moeen Ali and Liam Plunkett respectively to leave the tourists on 140-3 midway through the evening session.

England continued to toil out in the middle in search of further Indian wickets, but they were unable to make the breakthrough.

Virat Kohli (eight not out) and Ajinkya Rahane (18 not out) will return to the crease tomorrow morning.
