India organized one of the great fugitives of the cricket as they left with a draw in the fourth test against England at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Their elastic screen, the last chapter in an attractive campaign, means INDIA Go to the next week’s final at The Oval in London with hope to end Series with five square trials at 2-2.

India faces Bumhrah dilemma again

Jasprit Bumhrah’s back injury earlier this year led India to announce that the tremendous striker would only appear in three games in the England series in an attempt to manage his work load.

And the world’s highest rank test player made his third campaign appearance in Manchester.

But with the fifth test starting on Thursday, it has been some time for Bumrah to heal after a tedious load of 2-112 in the first 33 overs that the 31-year-old has received more than a hundred runs in a test.

Lyudiously, India’s only match has so far won this series is what Bumrah lost when tourists were thrown England From 336 runs in the second test in Edgbaston.

Stoke’s engagement presents problems for England

A captain who can lead both Bat and Ball is a great fortune, but England management may have to save Ben Stokes from him with an ashes tour in Australia on the horizon.

The match at Old Trafford was a personal triumph for Stokes as he became only the fourth England crike that scored a hundred and took five Wickets in the same test.

Stokes, 34, is also now only the third man in the test history that has scored 7,000 running and got 200 wicks after Garry Sobers of West Indies and Jacques Kallis of South Africa.

However, there were cases on Saturday, when he did not do it at all, when Stokes was in noticeable pain, tightening his thigh – a disturbing sign given his story of Hamstring problems.

There was no point in the field at the field at that stage, except for a long absence would have delayed his return to the task of playing games.

And Stokes hit as well on Sunday to remove the annoying Kl Rahul opening for 90.

Stokes has now sent 140 overs – most of which he has leaned out in each series – and is the main wicket holder on both sides by 17 with an average of 25.2.

But those excellent figures are also a reflection of the relative lack of penetration offered by the rest of England’s attack.

“I will always try to run through a brick wall for the team,“Stokes said after Sunday draw, adding:”I don’t want to eat my words but the likelihood I won’t play (in oval) It is very impossible.“

Firm

Gill made a sensational start to his first series as captain of India with three hundred in four cases.

But when his next three knocks gave a total of 34 runs, it seemed that the bubble had exploded.

He then entered a hat-trick with India in Dirt Straits at 0-2 in their second beginnings in Manchester, even more than 300 Adrift running of the First Vites of England 669.

But Gill responded with a 103 marathon that includes seven hours ago hundreds further from Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar provided a draw.

Gill has now set up a new record for the most marked runs by a Batsman in India in a series against England of 722, exceeding Yashasvi Jaiswal 712 in 2023/24.

And in Oval he could eclipse by opening the Great Sunil Gavaskar series record in India, all running, set in a four -game campaign against West Indies again in 1970/71.
