Injured Pant resumes innings for India in fourth Test against England

Vice-captain Pant was forced to retire hurt on 37 on the opening day of the match on Wednesday after he inside-edged a Chris Woakes yorker onto his right boot. A Board of Control for Cricket in India statement on Thursday confirmed Pant was unfit to keep wicket but would be available to bat if required. After Shardul Thakur fell for 41, with India 314-6 in their first innings, Pant slowly made his way down the dressing room steps and out into the middle. Runners are no longer allowed in international cricket.
