England are 50-1 in the fourth innings and need 324 runs to win and claim a decisive 3-1 series victory. They aren't tipped to do so however - with Brendon McCullum's side 7/4 outsiders with Sky Bet to achieve a successful run chase. Conversely, India are odds-on favourites at 4/9 to reign supreme, while a draw is valued at 20/1. In addition to the head-to-head odds - there are three Price Boosts on offer for this contest.
