England captain Ben Stokes has expressed uncertainty about the pitch for the fourth Test against India, stating he has not seen anything like the 22-yard strip in the past. The pitch has been described as "platey cracks" by England batter Ollie Pope. Stokes also noted that the pitch looked different from what he is used to seeing in India, with it being dark, crumbly, and having several cracks. The pitch also delayed England's decision on their playing eleven, with pacer Ollie Robinson coming in for Mark Wood.
