Moeen Ali's 5‑63 led England's fightback on the second day of the fourth cricket Test against India in Southampton.

England currently trail by 21 runs in the fourth test.

The off‑spinner ran through the India lower order as they lost six wickets for 53 runs to slip from 142‑2 to 195‑8.

However, India were hauled to 273.

That gave them a first‑innings lead of 27 after England were bowled out for 246 on day one.

It left the match and the series tantalisingly poised. England lead 2‑1 and can seal the series with victory on the south coast, while a win for India would keep alive their own hopes of winning the series going into the final match at The Oval.
