India vs England Highlights, 4th Test Day 5: India batted more than five sessions to overturn a 311-run deficit and pull off an unprecedented draw against England in the fourth Test at Old Trafford. India were reduced to 0/2 in their second innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal and B Sai Sudharsan scoring ducks. However, captain Shubman Gill led India's fightback, slamming his fourth century of the series. Gill and opener KL Rahul stitched a 417-ball partnership, with the latter scoring 90. After their dismissals, all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar completed centuries to take India to a draw, even refusing England captain Ben Stokes' offer for a draw in order to reach their personal milestones. Stokes was named the 'Player of the Match' for scoring 141 runs and taking six wickets in the game. The draw leaves England with a 2-1 lead in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, heading into the final Test at the Oval. (SCORECARD)

IND vs ENG LIVE 4th Test Day 5: One more to go!
Right then, we move on to the fifth Test at the Oval. England cannot lose the series, but India can still retain the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy if they draw the final Test, thereby drawing the series too. England lead 2-1, and after a heroic batting effort by India, there is still life in the series!
India vs England LIVE: Ben Stokes wins Player of the Match
Ben Stokes is named the 'Player of the Match'. For the second match in a row, the accolade goes to the England captain. 141 runs, 6 wickets (one fifer), and all while a problematic hamstring to deal with. One heck of a player.
India vs England LIVE: Shubman Gill reflects on his ton
Shubman Gill reflects on his century: "No matter how many times you've done it in the past, there are always some jitters when you come out to bat for your country. That shows how much I care and how much it means to me."
IND vs ENG LIVE 4th Test Day 5: "Extremely pleased" - Gill
Shubman Gill states at the post-match presentation that he is extremely pleased with the batting effort, and the way his team rose beyond the pressure to secure the draw. (Speaking on the decision to refuse Stokes' offer for a draw) - "Both Washington and Jadeja batted brilliantly and deserved their centuries).
Shubman Gill also says that a call will be made on Bumrah ahead of the 4th Test.
India vs England LIVE: A draw to remember
5 days, and it ends in a draw. England would've really fancied their chances of a win when they piled up 669 in their first innings. They were overwhelming favourites when India went down to 0/2 in the first over. But then came KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja. The quartet held fort and defended the badge, and earned a draw to remember.
IND vs ENG LIVE: Hundred for Washington Sundar!
Washington Sundar gets to his century! Nudge towards mid-wicket and they run two. Maiden Test century for Washington. Delight in the India dressing room. A sensational knock after being promoted up to No. 5.
And that's that. The fourth Test ends in a draw.
IND 425/4 (143)
India vs England LIVE: Sundar up to 99
Washington Sundar moves up to 99. Ben Stokes has placed all of his fielders in the circle. Sundar swings hard, connects, sends it over the circle through the cover region, and gets 4 runs. 1 away from his maiden Test ton!
IND 423/4 (142.4)
India vs England LIVE: SIX, Century for Jadeja!
Century for Ravindra Jadeja! A big slog over long-on, and he gets to the milestone with a maximum. 182 balls to get their. Magnificent effort with the bat. After 4 consecutive fifties earlier in the series, he converts it to a century now.
IND 410/4 (140.3)
India vs England LIVE: Washington - 4, 4, 4!
Washington Sundar has upped his scoring rate. He is nearing his century at a rate of nought. Slams not one, but two boundaries through the covers. And then a pull through mid-wicket for a third boundary in a row! Sundar up to 92. India cross 400.
IND 404/4 (140)
India vs England LIVE: 4, Jadeja up to 95!
Ravindra Jadeja gets 4 runs! Quicker one from Harry Brook and jabbed through to fine-leg for a boundary by the all-rounder. He is up to 95 now. Joe Root continues bowling from the other end. 18th over for him now.
IND 392/4 (139.1)
India vs England LIVE: Harry Brook will bowl!
Dramatic and hilarious twist to proceedings here. Ben Stokes wants to protect his bowlers seemingly, so Harry Brook has been handed the ball! Jadeja and Washington are 11 and 20 runs away from their centuries, respectively.
IND 386/4 (138.3)
India vs England LIVE: India refuse Stokes' offer for a draw!
Ben Stokes came forward and wanted to shake hands and call it a draw, but Team India have refused! Clear instruction it seems from the dressing room. 15 overs left in the day. Washington and Jadeja are very close to a century, and this will only tire out the England fielders further.
IND 386/4 (186)
India vs England LIVE: Washington, 4!
Washington Sundar punches it through the covers, he is into the 80s now! Boundary off Joe Root's bowling. And oh dear! Sundar's next shot hits Ben Duckett flush on the arm. Duckett was fielding at forward short-leg. Looks like he's okay.
IND 386/4 (137.3)
IND vs ENG LIVE 4th Test Day 5: 4 byes
4 byes. Jadeja goes to block Dawson, but the ball misses both batter and wicket-keeper and runs away for 4 behind the wicket. 16 overs left in the day, but captains Ben Stokes and Shubman Gill may decide to shake hands for a draw before that.
IND 382/4 (137)
India vs England LIVE: 4, 4 Jadeja!
Ravindra Jadeja clobbers Joe Root down the ground for a boundary! Great shot, and he moves up to 85. We have less than 20 overs left in the day now - perhaps less if the draw is a formality - so these two will look to accelerate if they want a century!
And Jadeja goes big again! Over mid-off for 4. 89!
IND 375/4 (134)
India vs England LIVE: Lead up to 50
India's lead has gone up to 50. Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar continuing to navigate the situation excellently, with England getting no closer to getting a wicket. Both batters in the 70s, and will be hoping to get centuries for sure.
IND 361/4 (131)
India vs England LIVE: FOUR!
Ravindra Jadeja is into the 70s! Liam Dawson tries to target the rough, but Jadeja clears mid-on and grabs 4 runs. No fielder there. Good application from Jadeja. A 5th Test century is definitely within reach here. India cross 350.
IND 356/4 (128)
India vs England LIVE: Archer back into the attack
England turn to Jofra Archer again. He was the man who dismissed Shubman Gill, and then saw Jadeja dropped by Joe Root on the first ball. England have seen a potential victory fade away since then.
IND 346/4 (126)
India vs England LIVE: Can Jadeja, Washington get centuries?
We have about two hours of play left today. Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar both batting in the 60s. Can the two get a century? Would be an incredible end to a fascinating Test match. For Sundar, it would be a first Test ton!
IND 343/4 (124)
IND vs ENG LIVE 4th Test Day 5: FOUR, Washington
Great shot from Washington Sundar! Classy cover drive, middle of the bat, past the fielders in the circle for 4. What a fantastic knock this has been from Washington, coming in to bat at No. 5. Fourth 4 for him.
IND 343/4 (123)
India vs England LIVE: 4, 4 Jadeja!
Ravindra Jadeja gets a ball on the stumps, comes down the track and pummells it over deep square-leg for 4. Four fielders surrounding him, no one out in the deep. The boundary picked out well by Jadeja. Two balls later, Jadeja steps out and slams it through mid-on this time!
IND 333/4 (119.5)
India vs England LIVE: 2 runs in the first over after Tea
The first over after Tea is bowled by Chris Woakes, with not much success. We might see Liam Dawson into the attack heavily as well, with Stokes seemingly instructing the spinner to target the rough patches more. And here he comes!
IND 324/4 (119)
India vs England LIVE: One more session to go
We have another two-and-a-half hours of cricket left ahead of us. England may still have a slim chance at victory, but only if they get all 6 remaining India wickets in quick succession. Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar are batting beautifully at one end.
India vs England LIVE: TEA!
Tea on Day 5! Take a bow, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar. India have not only hunted down the 311 runs that England led by, but they've now taken the lead. With 6 wickets in hand and India in the lead, a draw is the likely result from here. But if India suffer a sudden collapse, England can still pull off a dramatic win.
IND 322/4 (118)
India lead England by 11 runs
IND vs ENG LIVE 4th Test Day 5: 4, Washington
Great shot from Washington Sundar. Attacks Liam Dawson, clears the covers and thumps it for a boundary. Third 4 of the innings for Washington. He has shown excellent temperament all throughout the day after being sent in at No. 5!
IND 320/4 (116)
India vs England LIVE: Ravindra Jadeja equals Garfield Sobers
Ravindra Jadeja has equalled West Indies great Sir Garfield Sobers for the most 50+ scores in a Test series in England after batting at No. 6 or lower. Both now have 5. The impressive thing is that Jadeja has done this in five of his last six innings.
IND 316/5 (115.5)
India vs England LIVE: 50 for Jadeja now! India take lead
Jadeja follows suit! Boundary square of the wicket, Jadeja gets 50, India take the lead! The marathon is complete, and it comes with both all-rounders completing milestones. India now lead by 2 runs!
IND 313/4 (112)
India vs England LIVE: FOUR, 50 for Washington Sundar
Half-century for Washington Sundar! Gets there with a boundary. Short again from Stokes, and helped towards fine-leg, following up from the maximum. Patient half-century, lots of good running, and now some shots! India trail by 3 runs only.
IND 308/4 (111.2)
India vs England LIVE: Washington Sundar, SIX!
First 6 of the innings! Washington Sundar has absolutely clobbered that one! Short from Ben Stokes and pulled away over deep square-leg for a maximum. Sundar moves up to 47. Just three away from that half-century now. India cross 300!
IND 304/4 (111.1)
IND vs ENG LIVE: FOUR, Jadeja!
Bit of luck but it runs away for 4 off Jadeja's blade. Wide outside off-stump from Brydon Carse, Jadeja swings and it goes for 4 through third man. Just one man in the slips, so there was never a catching chance for that.
IND 298/4 (110.3)
India vs England LIVE: Jadeja into the 40s
Ravindra Jadeja is into the 40s, and the England lead is under 20 now. Jadeja pulls a short delivery from Stokes and the batters run two. The next one is short again from Stokes, and Jadeja pulls for a single. Easy pickings for the Indians at this point.
IND 294/4 (110)
India vs England LIVE: Stokes returns into the attack
Here comes England captain Ben Stokes. Bowled 8 overs earlier today, clutching his hamstring, but also got the big wicket of KL Rahul. Can he inspire his team to another couple of wickets? If India keep batting this way, the match is heading towards a draw. However, with a small lead still with England, a collapse for India could still hand England a shot at victory.
IND 289/4 (107.2)
IND vs ENG LIVE 4th Test Day 5: Washington in the 40s
The all-rounders are going about things at a measured pace, not taking too many risks with their shot selection. Washington is into the 40s, and Ravindra Jadeja isn't far behind, having scored at a faster rate. India still trailing, although not by much.
IND 287/4 (107)
India vs England LIVE: Big appeal for LBW!
Washington Sundar is seemingly caught on the pads by Brydon Carse. Big appeal from the pacer but umpire remains unmoved. England have no reviews remaining to challenge the decision. Washington stays firm. On 38 now, and nearing a gritty fifty.
IND 274/4 (103)
India vs England LIVE: 100 overs done!
Not many would've expected this when India went down 0/2 in the very first over of their second innings. But two excellent knocks by Gill and Rahul, and then a great effort by Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar too. India trail by 44.
IND 267/4 (100)
IND vs ENG LIVE 4th Test Day 5: Lead under 50
England's lead goes below 50. Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar are on the verge of completing a 50-run partnership. Good stuff from the all-rounders. They've navigated the last bits of the new ball well, handling pace and spin from both ends without much trouble.
IND 263/4 (98)
India vs England LIVE: FOUR!
Another boundary! Slammed down the ground by Ravindra Jadeja off Liam Dawson's bowling. Four fielders surrounding him close by, but Jadeja takes the risk and picks up 4. Next ball, another drive through the covers, and they run 3!
IND 260/3 (97)
India vs England LIVE: 250 up for India
250 comes up for India. Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar have done a commendable job since Gill's departure. Jadeja was handed a massive lifeline, dropped on ball 1 by Root. But since then, the duo have manouevred things really well. India trail by 61 runs.
Washington Sundar is in the 30s, and will be eyeing up his fifty too.
IND 250/4 (95)
IND vs ENG LIVE 4th Test Day 5: 4, Jadeja!
First boundary for Ravindra Jadeja. Very similar to the one Washington hit a couple of overs ago. Full from Archer and slapped between mid-wicket and mid-on. The left-handed all-rounders picking up runs at a brisk pace here, with some good running between the wickets as well.
IND 245/4 (93.4)
India vs England LIVE: 4 more!
4 byes! Washington Sundar shuffles across his stumps to leave Liam Dawson's delivery, but it misses both the batter and keeper Jamie Smith and runs away for 4 behind the wicket. Important runs for India, they keep cutting the lead.
IND 238/4 (92.1)
India vs England LIVE: FOUR, Washington!
First boundary after Lunch, and it comes off Washington Sundar's bat. Short of a length from Archer, Washington opens the face of the bat and times it exquisitely between mid-on and mid-wicket. First boundary for Washington too. England's lead below 80 now.
IND 233/4 (91.3)
India vs England LIVE: Play resumes!
Play on! We are back for the second session on Day 5 of the fourth Test at Old Trafford. No more Shubman Gill. The responsibility of the Indian batting now rests on all-rounders Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja. Archer takes the ball, and we start with a maiden.
IND 223/4 (90)
India vs England LIVE: List of records broken by Gill today
Shubman Gill has shattered a bunch of records today. Let's recap them all. Here's the list of records broken by Shubman Gill today:
1. First Indian to score 4 Test centuries in a series in England
2. Third man to score 4 Test tons in debut series as captain
3. Most Test centuries by a captain against England in one series
4. Joint-most runs by a non-SENA batter in a SENA series
India vs England LIVE: LUNCH
And breathe! It's Lunch on Day 5 of yet another riveting Test match. KL Rahul departed early, but it's the loss of captain Shubman Gill just five minutes before Lunch that will hurt India the most. They still have good batting depth -- Jadeja, Sundar, Shardul and maybe even Pant. But they trail by 88, and still have to bat for two sessions.
IND 223/4 (89)
India trail England by 88 runs
IND vs ENG LIVE 4th Test Day 5: Jadeja dropped first ball!
Ravindra Jadeja has been dropped first ball! Drama, absolute drama. It is all happening at Old Trafford. Thick edge, Joe Root jumps up from first slip, but he cannot hold on. He gives another crack at holding onto the ball, but it pops out. Massive relief for India.
IND 222/4 (87.5)
India vs England LIVE: Gill departs! HUGE WICKET
Archer gets Gill! Huge, huge moment possibly in the fourth Test. Shubman Gill's resistance comes to an end. Flashes at a delivery outside the off-stump, takes the faintest nick and Jamie Smith completes the catch. Gill's excellent innings comes to an end.
IND 222/4 (87.4)
IND vs ENG LIVE 4th Test Day 5: Gill becomes first-ever captain to...
Yet another record for Shubman Gill. He has become the first man to score 4 Test centuries in his debut series as captain. He surpasses Warwick Armstrong, Don Bradman, Greg Chappell, Virat Kohli and Steve Smith, who all hit 3 in their debut series as captain.
India vs England LIVE: England's lead below 100
India have managed to reduce England's lead to under 100 now. Washington Sundar has batted more than 50 deliveries already. No boundaries, but a lot of grit and good running between the wickets.
IND 219/3 (87)
India vs England LIVE: Shubman Gill joins Bradman, Gavaskar in elite list
Shubman Gill has become only the third man after Don Bradman and Sunil Gavaskar to score 4 centuries in a single Test series as captain. Bradman did it against India in 1947/48, Gavaskar against West Indies in 1978/79. And now, enter Shubman Gill.
India vs England LIVE: Century for Shubman Gill!
SHUBMAN GILL HAS DONE IT AGAIN! Fourth Test century of the series, and one of immense, immense quality. One of patience, the need of the hour. The captain steps up once again. He reaches it in 228 balls. Stellar knock.
Shubman Gill becomes the first Indian batter to score 4 Test centuries in a single series in England.
IND 206/3 (83)
India vs England LIVE: Shubman Gill up to 99!
Shubman Gill up to 99! Flicks it towards deep square-leg, it doesn't go far, but the call was for two straight away. Great running between the wickets and the Indian pair complete the double. Gill on the verge of becoming the first Indian batter to score 4 Test tons in England.
IND 205/3 (82.4)
India vs England LIVE: Gill, FOUR! 200 up for India
Jofra Archer to Shubman Gill with the second new ball and pummelled away for 4 by the Indian captain. 200 up for India, Gill up to 96. Pulled hard, between mid-wicket and square-leg. Fourth century of the series on the cards for Gill.
IND 202/3 (81.1)
India vs England LIVE: Edged, short of the fielder
Thick edge off Washington Sundar's blade but falls just short of the slip cordon. Woakes dismissed two left-handers in his first spell, and he's trying the same tactic against Sundar now. This is a real test of Sundar's skill.
IND 198/3 (80.2)
India vs England LIVE: Time for the second new ball
England take the second new ball! Chris Woakes comes back into the attack. He delivered two wickets in the very first over of the innings, sending Jaiswal and Sai Sudharsan back for zero. Can he repeat his magic again?
IND 198/3 (80.1)
India vs England LIVE: KL Rahul, Shubman Gill's big record
The partnership between Shubman Gill and KL Rahul was the longest by an Indian pair in England in the 21st century. The duo's 417-ball stand surpasses the previous longest of 405 balls between Rahul Dravid and Sanjay Bangar in 2002.
India vs England LIVE: Spinner to Washington
England have a clear tactic here, seemingly. Ben Stokes bowls at Shubman Gill, and Liam Dawson targets the rough patches against the left-hander Washington Sundar from the other end. Both Indian batters doing a superb defensive job so far.
IND 193/3 (76)
IND vs ENG LIVE 4th Test Day 5: Stokes continues to bowl
Unbelievable commitment from Ben Stokes here. He is clutching his hamstring after nearly every delivery, but he is continuing to bowl. Setting an example, leading from the front, showing his team how it's done. Shubman Gill, as well, battling on despite the hit on his glove and helmet. He survives another short delivery. Remarkable from both captains.
IND 193/3 (75)
India vs England LIVE: Gill, Stokes both in pain
Ben Stokes is clutching his hamstring but his deliveries are causing real problems to Gill. The Indian captain is being bothered by the uneven bounce, although he has recovered from the big hit. Meanwhile, Stokes has signalled that he's in a bit of pain too.
IND 191/3 (73)
India vs England LIVE: Gill hit on his helmet!
Oh, that's a snorter from Ben Stokes, and Shubman Gill is hurt. India's captain tries to take avoiding action, but the ball deflects off his glove and hits him on the helmet. He is shaking his hand, wincing in pain. Let's hope this is nothing serious.
IND 191/3 (72.1)
India vs England LIVE: Washington Sundar promoted
Okay! This is a very interesting call made by Gautam Gambhir and the Indian team management. Washington Sundar has been sent up at No. 5, ahead of the injured Rishabh Pant and veteran Ravindra Jadeja.
IND 190/3 (71)
IND vs ENG LIVE 4th Test Day 5: KL Rahul departs! Stokes strikes
Big wicket! That's the one that England were hunting for, and guess who delivers? Ben Stokes, of course. Captain Fantastic steps up once again. The ball stays low, Rahul misses and is caught on the pads. It's plumb, LBW. End of a 417-ball partnership. KL Rahul falls 10 runs short of his century.
IND 188/3 (70.2)
India vs England LIVE: England lose final DRS
A big appeal for caught behind, and Joe Root urges Ben Stokes to go up with a DRS review. Shubman Gill went for the sweep, but replays show that it kissed the pad, not the bat, before going behind. England lose their final review.
IND 187/2 (69.1)
India vs England LIVE: FOUR, Gill!
Another top shot from Shubman Gill! The Indian captain gets a ball on the pads and flicks it away towards fine-leg for 4. Diving effort from Liam Dawson at the boundary but not enough. Gill moves up to 89.
IND 187/2 (69)
IND vs ENG LIVE 4th Test Day 5: Stunning fielding effort!
Shubman Gill with a hard-hit drive through the covers, but it was nearly taken by Ollie Pope! The England batter with a sensational jumping effort, saves 4, but had he held on, it would've been the catch of the series.
IND 180/2 (67)
India vs England LIVE: Gill's unique feat
Shubman Gill becomes the first Indian captain to score 700 runs in a Test series in England. He is also the first Asian batter to do so. Gill will now set his sights on Sunil Gavaskar's record of the most runs scored in a Test series. Gavaskar made 774 runs in his debut Test series against West Indies in 1971.
India vs England 4th Test, Day 5 Live: 700 Hundred Runs Up For Gill
Skipper Ben Stokes puts himself into the attack next, but it's a milestone moment for his counterpart Shubman Gill, who brings up 700 runs this series.
Gill joins an elite list of captains aggregating 700-plus runs in a Test series, alongside Sir Don Bradman (twice), Sir Garfield Sobers, Greg Chappell, Sunil Gavaskar, David Gower, Graham Gooch and Graeme Smith.
Manchester Test Live: England Start With Spinner Dawson
England captain Ben Stokes has opted for a bizarre approach to start with. Under cloudy conditions, it's spinner Liam Dawson who gets to bowl the first bowler. Right approach? Maybe, not.
India vs England 4th Test, Day 5 Live: Question Mark On Ben Stokes
England captain Ben Stokes isn't certain to bowl on Day 5. England assistant coach Marcus Trescothick said that the skipper is a bit 'stiff and sore'.
"He's a bit stiff and sore," Trescothick said. "He's had quite a big workload in the last few weeks, and then batting in the first innings, he was getting quite a bit of cramp. We are hoping that with another night's rest and a bit more physio work overnight, he'll be back and doing a bit tomorrow."
Manchester Test, Day 5 Live: Gautam Gambhir Briefs Players
In a huddle, head coach Gautam Gambhir briefed his players about the approach for the day, the challenges that lie. With overcast conditions, expect England pacers to get the ball moving early on. The first session is going to be make or break for the Indian team in the bid to secure a draw.
4th Test Day 5 Live: Rahul joins elite list!
KL Rahul became only the second Asian opener to aggregate 500-plus runs in a Test series in England, after Sunil Gavaskar, who did it twice (1971 and 1979). Also, this is also the second instance of two Indian batters aggregating 500 or more runs in the same away Test series.
Multiple Indian batters with 500-plus in the same Away Test series
Sunil Gavaskar (774) & Dilip Sardesai (642) vs WI, 1970-71
Shubman Gill (697*) & KL Rahul (508*) vs ENG, 2025*
4th Test Day 5 Live: Onus on Rahul, Gill!
India seemed down and out at 0/2 before Lunch, but they haven't lost a wicket since then, thanks to KL and captain Gill. If the duo can produce something similar today for India, it will go down as one of the greatest escape. It will also keep the series alive heading into the final game at The Oval, starting July 31st.
4th Test Day 5 Live: Focus on weather
The weather forecast will be on focus on Day 5 of the fourth Test as both the teams are giving their best to clinch a victory. According to Accuweather, there are very less to no chances of rain on the fifth day and a sunny day is expected.
