IND vs ENG: “Jadeja and Sundar Stonewall England in Final-Day Classic”
Ray Sportz Web Desk: India produced a remarkable rearguard action to deny England victory on the final day of the fourth Test at Old Trafford, as Ravindra Jadeja (107)* and Washington Sundar (101)* battled through the last two sessions to secure a thrilling draw.
After resuming at a precarious 0/2, skipper Shubman Gill (103) and KL Rahul (90) steadied the innings with a 188-run stand before Jadeja and Sundar shut the door on England with an unbroken 202-run partnership.
England, who posted a colossal 669 in their first innings and dominated the early exchanges, were left frustrated despite Ben Stokes’ all-round brilliance—141 runs and a five-wicket haul, a first by an England captain.
The series stands at 2–1 in England’s favor, with the final showdown set for The Oval.
