4th Test: Gill Hits 103, Rahul Makes 90 As India Reach 223/4, Trail England By 88 Runs
With Washington Sundar: Shubman Gill hit his ninth Test hundred and fourth of the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series while KL Rahul hit 90. But both batters falling in the first session meant India reached 223/4 in 89 overs and trail England by 88 runs at lunch on day five’s play at Old Trafford.
It was an attritional session where 49 runs came off 26 overs. India were resilient at the start, but losing key batters in Rahul and Gill means they need to salvage a draw in the remaining 64 overs, especially with not so much batting to follow, though Rishabh Pant arrived at the stadium on crutches.
For England, skipper Ben Stokes, despite his shoulder troubles, bowled an eight-over spell that included Rahul’s scalp, while Jofra Archer took out a solid Gill. He could have Ravindra Jadeja out for zero if Joe Root hadn’t dropped a touch chance at slip. The start of the session saw Stokes bringing himself on and immediately got into variable bounce, including extracting an lbw shout off Gill.
