IND vs ENG highlights, 4th Test Match Day 2: England reach 225/2 at stumps, trail India by 133 runs
Day 2 of the fourth Test at Old Trafford belonged to England as they ended Thursday on a commanding 225 for 2, trailing India by only 133 runs in the first innings. The tone was set by a dominant opening partnership between Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley, who capitalised on favourable batting conditions and a largely ineffective Indian bowling attack.
Duckett scored a brisk 94 off 100 balls before falling short of a century, while Crawley made a powerful 84 off 113 deliveries. Together, they added 166 runs for the opening wicket, punishing India’s bowlers who struggled to find a breakthrough. Though India finally removed both openers, the damage had been done. At stumps, Ollie Pope was batting on 20 alongside Joe Root on 11.
Earlier, India resumed the day on 264 for 4 and quickly lost Ravindra Jadeja in just the second over when he edged Jofra Archer to second slip. However, valuable lower-order runs from Shardul Thakur (41) and Washington Sundar (27) pushed the total to 358. A special highlight of the morning was Rishabh Pant’s return. Batting with a fractured toe, he showed remarkable determination to contribute 54 off just 75 balls after retiring hurt the day before. His resilience was applauded by the Old Trafford crowd as he walked out and fought through visible discomfort.
England’s bowling attack, led by skipper Ben Stokes, did a tidy job wrapping up the Indian innings. Stokes finished with impressive figures of 5 for 72, his first five-wicket haul in Test cricket since 2017. The second new ball, taken at the start of the day, played a key role in helping England finish off the Indian tail.
India now finds itself on the back foot as England’s batters have laid a strong foundation. With eight wickets in hand and batting conditions still helpful, the hosts will look to build a significant first-innings lead. The Indian bowlers, meanwhile, will need to regroup quickly and find breakthroughs on Day 3 to pull themselves back into the contest.
As things stand, this Test match is tilting in England’s favour, thanks to disciplined batting at the top and a fighting effort with the ball earlier in the day.

IND vs ENG Live Score: Pitch Report
The conditions are cool and overcast, with a noticeable green patch on the surface that offered extra bounce for Jofra Archer earlier. Jasprit Bumrah is expected to target the same area effectively. Despite the green tinge, the pitch is quite dry underneath, and scoring becomes tougher as the match progresses — run averages tend to dip with each passing day.
India will be aiming for at least 350 in their first innings. They recovered well thanks to a solid stand between Rishabh Pant and Sai Sudharsan before Pant’s injury halted the momentum. Adding another 100 runs would put them in a strong position. With someone like Bumrah in the attack, India have the firepower to take control of the match, said Mike Atherton and Ravi Shastri.

India vs England Live Score: India’s No. 3 finally delivers
It took 1296 days, but India finally saw a No. 3 batter raise his bat for a half-century in an overseas Test. The long drought was broken yesterday during the fourth Test against England at Old Trafford, as India’s No. 3 produced a much-needed fifty under testing conditions.

IND vs ENG Live Score, 4th Test Match Day 2: Woakes speaks to Sky Sports
"I feel a bit sore but the body is coping pretty well. The first waddle to the bathroom in the morning can be a bit tricky! Once you get going, you find something from somewhere, and it’s often when you’re stiff and sore that you bowl your best.
"I’ve bowled most of my deliveries to Jaiswal over the wicket in this series. I made a commitment to myself that I’d go around in this game. I challenged him – I had a couple of nicks that dropped short and beat the edge – and it’s just unfortunate it didn’t go my way."
On hitting Rishabh Pant on the toe: "He’s quite unpredictable. He doesn’t give you many cues but sometimes you get a gut feel that he’s about to do something. He’d played five or six deliveries normally so I had a feeling ... I didn’t think it would be a reverse sweep! I thought he might run at me and I tried to bowl a slower ball; it came out full and hit him on the foot. It wasn’t a play to go in the blockhole but it was a ploy to take pace off."

IND vs ENG Live Score, 4th Test Match Day 2: Weather Update from Old Trafford
Not looking good at Old Trafford. It's gloomy once again—much like it was yesterday. There was a brief spell of brighter skies earlier, but now low clouds loom as the sellout crowd slowly makes its way in. England will resume with the new ball.
14:50 (IST) Jul 24
IND vs ENG Live Score: Latest update on Rishabh Pant
Rishabh Pant has not travelled with the team. Rishabh Pant suffered a fractured metatarsal when he tried to reverse sweep Chris Woakes. He will miss the fifth Test at the Oval but will he bat here incase of an emergency, only time will tell. For now things are looking pretty grim for India. And as former England captain Michael Vaughan said, the Test has now become "11 vs 10." It is going to be a long road for India to make a comeback.

India vs England Live Score: Kl and Jaiswal provided a solid stand
India may have finally found a stable Test opening pair in KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Their 94-run partnership on a testing first morning at Old Trafford showcased composure, maturity, and understanding. Jaiswal, usually the aggressor, curbed his instincts to weather prodigious swing, while Rahul kept the scoreboard moving and shielded him from Jofra Archer's early fire. The duo, contrasting in personality — Rahul the methodical planner, Jaiswal the fearless grinder — complement each other well. Since pairing up following Rohit Sharma’s shock retirement, they’ve consistently delivered, with Jaiswal’s tempo allowing Rahul to settle back into a role he’s long preferred but rarely secured. Despite not being close off the field, their mutual hunger for runs has forged a working relationship. With this partnership, the Indian management might have finally ended a decade-long search for reliable openers. Wednesday’s stand in tough conditions felt like a turning point for both players — and for India.

IND vs ENG Live Score, 4th Test Match Day 2: Ben Stokes vs India
India began solidly on Day 1 of the fourth Test at Old Trafford, but just when they seemed in control, Ben Stokes once again changed the script. After a wicketless morning for England, Stokes sparked a turnaround with a fiery spell, removing Shubman Gill and later trapping Sai Sudharsan with a relentless short-ball barrage. His duel with Sudharsan was gripping — a mix of intimidation, precision, and theatre — culminating in a miscue that broke a promising stand. Sudharsan, despite the dismissal, called it “one of the best feelings,” acknowledging the intensity of facing England’s premier allrounder. With 13 wickets in the series — the most by any England quick — Stokes has defied his fourth-seamer tag. At 34, coming off surgery, he continues to lead by example, bowling the most overs he ever has in a Test series. As India seek momentum, they must once again contend with England’s relentless “wonderwall.”

IND vs ENG Live Score, 4th Test Match Day 2: Dream return for Dawson
Liam Dawson made an immediate impact in his first Test since 2017, dismissing Yashasvi Jaiswal with just his seventh ball. The 35-year-old came into the XI as a replacement for the injured Shoaib Bashir. Dawson credited his county stint with Hampshire for his growth, saying he now understands pitch conditions, player intentions, and game scenarios far better than during his 2016 debut in Chennai. Despite a solid 1/45 from 15 overs, Dawson played down his performance, calling it “just one wicket.” He said he had made peace with not playing Tests again, but is now focused on enjoying each day of his unexpected return.

IND vs ENG Live Score, 4th Test Match Day 2: India close on 264/4
With the second new ball due, India looked to consolidate further. Ravindra Jadeja, watchful early on, showed signs of aggression with a crisp boundary off Liam Dawson. But as the light began to fade, Jadeja appeared to suggest visibility was becoming an issue. Umpires discussed the conditions, and with less than 10 minutes left, play was called off due to bad light. India ended the day on 264/4, with 115 runs coming in the final session. Rishabh Pant’s injury remains a major concern for the visitors, while England will be encouraged by their timely breakthroughs and disciplined bowling.
14:14 (IST) Jul 24
India vs England Live Score: Sudharsan fights on, but Stokes strikes again
Despite Pant’s exit, Sai Sudharsan continued his fine form and brought up a gritty half-century with a boundary off Joe Root. He and Jadeja kept the scoreboard ticking with occasional boundaries, including a flowing cut from Sudharsan and a straight drive from Jadeja. However, Stokes persisted with the short-ball tactic and got his reward when Sudharsan top-edged a pull to fine leg, falling for a well-made 55. It was the third time the England skipper had dismissed him this series. Shardul Thakur walked in next and began confidently, punching Stokes through point, as India reached 264/4.

IND vs ENG Live Score: Sudharsan, Pant rebuild; England warned for slow over rate
After Tea, Sai Sudharsan and Rishabh Pant took charge, lifting India’s scoring rate and resisting England’s pace barrage. Sudharsan negotiated short-pitched bowling with confidence, while Pant counterattacked, sweeping Archer and launching Brydon Carse for a six. The pair’s fifty-run stand pushed India past 200. England received an official warning for slow over rates, with time wasting becoming apparent. Pant reached 1000 Test runs in England during his innings. However, his progress was halted when a painful blow to his right foot forced him to retire hurt. The momentum had started shifting India’s way before this unexpected injury setback.

IND vs ENG Live Score, 4th Test Match Day 2: England hit back after lunch
England bounced back in the second session, picking up three vital wickets to stall India’s early momentum. Woakes struck first, dismissing Rahul for 46, ending India’s best opening stand of the series at 94. Soon after, Liam Dawson made an impact on comeback by removing Jaiswal for 58. England’s third breakthrough came when Ben Stokes trapped Shubman Gill lbw, a misjudged leave costing India both a wicket and a review. Sai Sudharsan and Rishabh Pant then began a rebuilding phase, surviving some close moments to guide India to Tea at 149/3. England’s consistent pressure kept the contest finely balanced.

India vs England Live Score: Bright start for India amid early threats
England won the toss for the fourth time this series and opted to field under overcast skies in Manchester. India’s openers, Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul, weathered the initial storm, surviving a probing spell from Chris Woakes and Jofra Archer. Jaiswal, in particular, overcame early edges and even a broken bat handle to find momentum with authoritative drives and pulls. The pair batted through the morning session unscathed, giving India a strong start. Jaiswal finished the session with an upper-cut six off Ben Stokes, taking India to 93 without loss and putting England temporarily on the back foot.

IND vs ENG Live Score: Dream return after 8 years for Dawson
Liam Dawson made an immediate impact in his first Test since 2017, dismissing Yashasvi Jaiswal with just his seventh ball.

Dawson credited his county stint with Hampshire for his growth, saying he now understands pitch conditions, player intentions, and game scenarios far better than during his 2016 debut in Chennai.

IND vs ENG Live Score, 4th Test Match Day 2: Rishabh Pant ruled out
India vice-captain Rishabh Pant has suffered a fracture in his right toe after being struck while attempting a reverse-sweep off Chris Woakes on Day 1 of the fourth Test in Manchester. Forced to retire hurt on 37, Pant was taken off the field on a buggy and is currently unable to put any weight on the injured foot. Scans confirmed the fracture, which could sideline him for up to two months, though he remains with the team and is eager to bat in the second innings if fit. The injury further compounds India’s fitness woes in the series, already trailing 2-1.
13:44 (IST) Jul 24
India vs England Live Score: India in deep trouble
India are effectively five down following Rishabh Pant’s injury, especially considering how severe the swelling on his foot looked. He was in visible agony, limping heavily and unable to stand unaided. With the second new ball due right at the start of Day 2, the lower order faces a stiff challenge in the morning. Pantʼs injury occurred just after tea on Day 1, when he attempted a reverse sweep to a yorker from Chris Woakes. Though UltraEdge showed an inside edge that saved him from an LBW dismissal, the delivery crashed into his boot, leaving him in visible agony. Pant, who was on 37 o 48 balls, received immediate on-eld treatment before being carted o. At the time, he had stitched a 72-run partnership with Sai Sudharsan that steadied Indiaʼs innings after a mini-collapse
13:30 (IST) Jul 24
IND vs ENG Live Score, 4th Test Match Day 2: Bad light ends Day 1
With India looking to build on a strong base, bad light forced stumps after 83 overs. Jadeja and Shardul Thakur remained unbeaten on 19 each. India, needing a win to stay alive in the series, face uncertainty around Pant’s fitness and will hope their lower order can step up on Day 2. India, 2-1 down after three Tests, must win in Manchester if they are to keep alive their hopes of winning the five-match campaign. The tourists, however, will have to make history of their own as they have never managed to win in nine previous Tests at Old Trafford. India got through the first session without losing a wicket only for three batsmen to be dismissed before tea.
13:28 (IST) Jul 24
IND vs ENG Live Score: England Strike Back After Lunch
After going wicketless in the first session, England roared back through Woakes, Dawson, and Stokes in the second. Shubman Gill’s lean patch continued as he fell for 12, shouldering arms to a sharp in-ducker from Stokes. The hosts clawed their way back into the contest after a frustrating morning. Drafted into the playing XI after an eight-year hiatus following Shoaib Bashir's injury, the 35-year-old wasted no time in making an impact. He dismissed the in-form Yashasvi Jaiswal with just his seventh delivery, having him caught at first slip on the opening day of the fourth Test against India on Wednesday
13:27 (IST) Jul 24
IND vs ENG Live Score, 4th Test Match Day 2: Pant retires hurt
Rishabh Pant walked off in visible pain after under-edging a reverse sweep onto his right foot off Woakes. Scans were ordered as swelling became severe. He retired hurt on 37 (48 balls), ending a dynamic 72-run stand with Sudharsan. His injury puts a big question mark over India’s middle-order stability. Rishabh Pant likely to be ruled out of the series. Initial scans revealed mild compound fracture, which could also be the cause for the bleeding. India need to see if he can bat in the match. Looks unlikely but depends when and how the swelling subsides.
13:25 (IST) Jul 24
IND vs ENG Live Score, 4th Test Match Day 2: Jaiswal-Rahul set solid foundation
India’s openers put up a resilient 94-run stand, frustrating England’s new-ball attack. Yashasvi Jaiswal made a fighting 58, while KL Rahul scored 46 before falling to Woakes. Both missed out on converting their starts, with Jaiswal later becoming Liam Dawson’s first Test wicket in eight years.
Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar questioned KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal's mental strength after they failed to capitalise on their starts.
“When you look at the overall pie, you can see how wonderfully this Test match is going. There’s a promise of another intriguing Test. You saw the first session, an important one, go to India, and then England making that second session their own. We saw two set batters get out – KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal,” Manjrekar said.
“I don’t know whether I’m reading too much into it, whether it’s mental fatigue from the long series. These are guys who’ve got runs. These aren’t batters who usually get a 50 and let the advantage slip. They didn’t quite dig in and get a big 100. Has that got something to do with mental stamina — the reserves you need? They have played so well until now, but to drop to another kind of level in terms of commitment and grind — whether they have it in them?”

India vs England Live Score: Sudharshan shines on Day 1
Back in the XI in place of Karun Nair, B Sai Sudharsan battled nerves and overcast skies to notch up his maiden Test fifty. Dropped on 20, the left-hander showed great application, scoring 61 off 151 balls with seven boundaries. His counter-attacking stand with Rishabh Pant helped India recover after losing three wickets post-lunch. But the southpaw lost concentration and failed to capitalise on convert his start.

England asserted control on Day 2 of the fourth Test at Old Trafford, reaching 225 for 2 at stumps in response to India’s first-innings total of 358. Openers Ben Duckett (94) and Zak Crawley (84) gave the hosts a powerful start, stitching together a 166-run stand that helped them cut down India’s lead to just 133 by the close of play.
Earlier, Rishabh Pant battled through pain to score a brave fifty after returning to the crease with a fractured toe. His 54 off 75 balls lifted India's total past the 350-run mark before England bowled them out shortly after lunch. England captain Ben Stokes stood out with the ball, taking 5 for 72 — his first five-wicket haul in Tests since 2017.
India lost Ravindra Jadeja early in the morning session, but contributions from Shardul Thakur (41) and Washington Sundar (27) helped build on the overnight lead.
At the end of the day's play, Ollie Pope (20*) and Joe Root (11*) were unbeaten, giving England a solid grip on the match. With two days remaining, England look well-placed to surpass India’s total and potentially take a first-innings lead.
