England captain Ben Stokes says he has never seen anything like the pitch for the fourth Test against India.
The surface in Ranchi has cracks running down one side, just outside a right-hander's off stump at one end and a left-hander's off stump at the other.

At 2-1 down in the series, England need to win the game beginning on Friday to force a deciding fifth Test.
"I've never seen something like that before. I have got no idea so I don't know what could happen," said Stokes.
"If you looked down one side of opposite ends it just looked different to what I am used to seeing, especially out in India."
All-rounder Stokes added: "It looked green and grassy up in the changing rooms, but then you go out there it looked different: very dark and crumbly and quite a few cracks in it."

Sounds like a pitch to choose 3 spinners for, explains why Bumrah was rested.
