    "editor1": "<p><em>London, Sep 11 - A batting collapse saw India struggling at 58\/3 at stumps after England set them a victory target of 464 on day 4 of the fifth and final Test here on Monday. &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-livescore\/scorecard\/13071962824\/India-in-England-1\">SCORECARD<\/a><\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>K.L. Rahul was batting on 46 while Ajinkya Rahane was on 10 after James Anderson scalped Shikhar Dhawan (1) and Cheteshwar Pujara (0). India captain Virat Kohli was sent back for a golden duck by Stuart Broad. With seven wickets remaining, India still need 406 more runs for a win.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nEarlier, Cook, playing his final match, cracked 147 while Root made 125 to help England declare on 423\/8. For the tourists, Ravindra Jadeja and Hanuma Vihari grabbed three wickets apiece.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nCook took 286 balls for a patient 147 while Root roared back with 125, his first hundred in 28 innings, as the duo put on a 259-run stand. Toiling for 112 overs, India&#39;s jittery top order once again flopped as Dhawan (1), Pujara (0) and Kohli (0) were dismissed in quick succession.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAnderson (2\/23) equalled Glenn McGrath&#39;s 563 Test wickets and is expected to break the record on Tuesday while Broad (1\/17) with 433 wickets is just one short of Kapil Dev&#39;s 434-wicket haul.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nDhawan&#39;s poor run continued as he was adjudged plumb leg before to an incoming delivery from Anderson.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after:always\"><span style=\"display:none\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>Pujara too fell in similar fashion as a sharp incutter breached his defence. He wanted a DRS but was late in appealing for one.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nKohli, after a tremendous English summer where he scored 593 runs, finally got out for a duck as he nicked one off Broad to Jonny Bairstow, leaving India in tatters.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe day, though, belonged to Cook.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAfter remaining wicketless in the morning session of the fourth day, the visitors finally got a bit of respite as debutant Hanuma Vihari struck twice in consecutive deliveries to dismiss Cook and Root, leaving the hosts at 321\/4.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe English duo, however, helped their team get a firm grip on the match before their dismissal.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nCook smashed many records en route to his 286-ball knock, laced with 14 boundaries.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe 33-year-old England opener on Monday became the fifth batsman in the history of the game to hit a ton both on debut and final game as Cook had also smashed a century in the second innings of his maiden Test -- against India in Nagpur in 2006.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe England opener also became the highest Test run scorer among left-handed batsmen as he went past Sri Lanka&#39;s Kumar Sangakkara (12,400), adding another achievement to his illustrious Test career with 12,472 runs.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nResuming the post-lunch session at 243\/2, Cook and Root took England past the 300-run mark before getting dismissed on successive deliveries in the 95th over.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIncoming batsmen Jonny Bairstow (18) fell cheaply as a Mohammed Shami delivery took an inside edge and went on to hit the stumps.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBairstow was followed by Jos Buttler, who departed without contributing. While looking for some quick runs, Buttler went down the track but offered a thick edge to Shami at backward point.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBen Stokes and Sam Curran were unbeaten on 13 and 7 runs respectively at the time of tea break.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIn the morning session, resuming at 114\/2, both the English batsmen looked in solid control, making the visitors struggle for a breakthrough.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBrief scores: England 332 &amp; 423\/8 d (Alastair Cook 147, Joe Root 125; R. Jadeja 3\/179, Hanuma Vihari 3\/37); India 292 &amp; 58\/3 (K.L. Rahul 46 batting, Ajinkya Rahane 10; James Anderson 2\/23)<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n",
