    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Might as well bring Stuart Binny back if all India can think of is bowling Prasidh at the Oval

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Totally happy to be proven wrong. Was an absolute stunner of a show. Who says draws are boring?

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    The classless behavior showed towards Jadeja and Sundar sometimes makes me want to root for Australia, to be honest. Stokes may be great, but is no Pat Cummins

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    I like Ben Stokes a lot, and think he's one of England's better leaders in modern cricket history. But his sportsmanship is very poor, and it shows. Don't have to be such a f-wit and an a**hole just cause you didn't get the win you were entitled to. Even Harry Brook as well. Gives his wicket...

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    What a cracker of a match. India have drawn a test against all odds. One of the greatest escapes in history. Johannesburg 1995, Old Trafford 2005, Sydney 2021, and back at OT 2025. From 0/2 to seeing the game off, this will boost their confidence greatly. Full credit to Rahul, Gill, Jadeja, and...

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Seems both the British Prime Minister and the England cricket team are struggling with Washington

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    How much time until the Raza and Tucker will ask the two sides if they want to call the match off and shake hands? A result looks unlikely at the moment.

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Coming back after 8 years was always going to be a stiff ask. He's definitely a lot better than Bashir in terms of threatening the edge. His batting also provides some depth in the lower order. The problem is that this pitch has pretty much set him up to fail.

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    If Akash is fit, I think he will likely come in the place of Kamboj. If Bumrah is unfit, I'd like them to try Arshdeep if his hand injury isn't too serious. A left arm seamer might provide a wild card option. If Prasidh plays, India are asking for a 3-1 defeat (assuming this match is a draw)

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Think that's what they were saying at the start of the series. Haven't heard much about him since. I think Gus Atkinson could be given a go, considering The Oval is his stamping ground

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Raza and Rod Tucker are a huge upgrade compared to Sharfodullah and Paul Reiffel

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Wow, for once they didn't lose a wicket before a session. Remains to be seen if their concentration can last through the first 5-10 overs of the final session. But gutsy stuff from Jadeja and Sundar. The former especially made the most of the life given just before lunch. On to a fiery finale!!

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    I mean, who says only England can claim moral victories?

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    These two need to be careful now. Last 15-20 minutes of the session. This is usually when things go south for India.

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Less than half an hour before tea. Important part of the session this.

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Just about 1 hour or so till tea. India needs to hold their nerve for once.

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    The only silver lining for them is that Stokes will probably bowl just a short spell or two, at best. See that off, and the job gets easier. But going by recent history, Stokes has a good chance of having the last laugh. What a superhuman.

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Poor bowling from Archer. Needs to get the line right.

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    Any chance bad light could come into play after tea (if India get through this session)? I know they went off about 15-20 minutes early on Day 1.

    4th Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) - 23rd to 27th of July

    About 40-45 overs, so a session or just over that.
