IND vs ENG 4th Test Day 5 Live Score Updates: India 425/4, India Pull Off Dramatic Draw as Jadeja and Washington Shine with Centuries
IND vs ENG 4th Test Day 5 Live Score Updates: Shubman Gill, KL Rahul Fight to Save India from Series Defeat
The last day of the 4th Test at Old Trafford started with England taking full control of the game. England set the huge total in the first innings of 669, with that score, the hosts were 311 runs ahead of India. However, India’s second innings started disastrously with Chris Woakes struck twice in the very first over.
India was suddenly staring at defeat after being reduced to 0 for 2. It looked like the end was near until KL Rahul and Shubman Gill walked in with calm heads. Their intent was clear, survive the day and take it deep into the fifth session if possible.
Rahul and Gill showed immense patience and grit. Together, they steadied the innings and kept the England bowlers at bay. By the time Stumps were called, India had moved to 174 for 2, still trailing by 137 runs.
Their unbeaten stand brought hope back into the dressing room. Both batters remained focused through testing spells and never gave their wickets away. It was one of those classic resistance moments in Test cricket where survival became the biggest goal.
Despite the solid partnership, India’s position is still far from safe. With a big chunk of runs still to cover and a long tail waiting, England will walk in on Day 5 confident of wrapping up the match. The pressure remains on the Indian middle-order.
It will be crucial how the next hour plays out on the final day. If India loses an early wicket, England could take full advantage of the momentum. However, if Rahul and Gill continue from where they left off, the story might change quickly.
One thing that could throw a wrench in England’s plans is the Manchester weather. The region is infamous for unexpected showers, especially during crucial phases of play. Any delay could help India secure a draw, which may feel like a win in this situation.
The rain gods have influenced many matches in England before, and this one could be no different. If the skies open up at the right moment, India might walk away still in the series. All eyes will be on the forecast as much as on the pitch.
