India staged an unforgettable rearguard to force a draw in the fourth Test at Old Trafford, overcoming a 311-run deficit in their second innings. After losing two early wickets without scoring, captain Shubman Gill (103), along with Ravindra Jadeja (107*) and Washington Sundar (101*) batted through over five sessions to steer India to 425/4, leveling the match. England had earlier piled on 669 in their first innings but failed to capitalize in the final session. The series now sits at 2‑1 in England’s favor, with the decisive fifth Test at The Oval starting shortly.
