IND vs ENG, 3rd Test Day 4 Score Live Updates: India need 135 Runs to Win on Day 5
Indian Cricket Team finds itself in a must-win scenario as they take on England in the fourth Test at Old Trafford, Manchester. Trailing 1-2 in the series, India needs to win both of the remaining matches to clinch the series victory.
India had lost the first match in Leeds by five wickets, but they made a big comeback in the second game, beating England by 336 runs at Edgbaston. India lost the third test match at Lord’s by a narrow margin of 22 runs
Now, there’s more good news for Indian fans – Jasprit Bumrah is coming back into the team after missing the last match.
Bumrah’s return will surely give a big boost to India’s bowling. On the other side, England will also be stronger with Jofra Archer, who is playing his first Test after four years.
With both fast bowlers back, it’s going to be an exciting game.
India could have been 2-0 up if they didn’t drop catches and lose quick wickets in the first match. But still, they’ve done well to come back strong.
Even though this Indian team is young and has a new captain, Shubman Gill, they’ve done a great job so far.
Many people thought England would win easily after big players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma retired.
But Gill and his teammates have scored well and played better than expected. This has made Ben Stokes change his plan – flat pitches are not helping them win.
Now that both teams are even, this third Test is very important.
India will be looking to keep their winning streak going with Bumrah back in the team.
England, with Archer’s return, will try to fight back harder. Whoever wins at Lord’s might take control of the whole series.

England have named their XI for the upcoming Test, bringing in Liam Dawson to replace the injured Shoaib Bashir. This marks Dawson’s return to Test cricket after nearly seven years, adding spin variety and batting depth. India, on the other hand, must decide on a third seamer. While Jasprit Bumrah is a confirmed starter, the spot vacated by the injured Akash Deep will be contested between Prasidh Krishna and Anshul Kamboj. The final call could influence the balance of India’s bowling attack.
Given the predicted overcast weather, Old Trafford’s conditions and past performance indicate that pace bowlers will benefit more from it than spinners. While spinners average close to 40, pacers have claimed 477 wickets at an average below 30 since 2000. There have only been four successful fourth-inning run chases, with the greatest being 294 runs, indicating that chasing is still difficult. Teams that win the toss are therefore anticipated to choose to bat first.
The final day began in dramatic fashion as England snatched three quick wickets, leaving India reeling before fans had even settled in. But Ravindra Jadeja once again showed his grit, supported by an aging ball and a determined lower order. From 112/8, India’s last two wickets added a fighting 58 runs, forcing England to work hard for every inch. In the end, it proved too much for Bumrah and Siraj to carry through, as England’s persistence sealed a tense victory.

Shoaib Bashir delivered the final blow in the 61st over, bowling Mohammed Siraj with a sharply turning delivery to hand England a thrilling win. Tossed up outside off, the ball gripped, turned back in, and despite Siraj getting the middle of the bat in defence, the overspin caused it to roll back onto the leg stump. The bail was dislodged, and Bashir sprinted in celebration as England clinched the match. Siraj stood in disbelief, while England erupted in joy, taking a 2-1 lead in the series. THE MOST HEARTBREAKING PICTURE OF THE YEAR. 💔 pic.twitter.com/qEN1OfaZoB — Mufaddal Vohra (@mufaddal_vohra) July 14, 2025 LADIES...
