An extraordinary series will head into its 25th day on Monday, with its outcome still undecided.
England only need 35 more runs with four wickets in hand, after centuries from Joe Root and Harry Brooks guided them closer to a 3-1 series win.
However, India fought back with late wickets, and with a new ball available in 3.4 overs, and their seamers rested and refreshed, they will hope for a late order collapse on Day 5 that will help the team level the series.
