IND vs ENG Live Score, 4th Test Match Day 5: Match drawn; England lead series 2-1 ahead of the fifth Test at The Oval, London
Talk about multiple heroes in one Test, this match is overflowing with them. Ben Stokes delivers yet again, claiming a five-wicket haul and scoring a century, pushing his already-worn body to its limits.
He strikes early on the final day, removing KL Rahul and threatening to crack the game wide open. But the day belongs to India.
Under immense pressure, they stand tall. Shubman Gill leads from the front with a captain’s hundred, Rahul grinds out a crucial 90, and then Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar seal the effort with unbeaten centuries of their own.
England, drained and frustrated, eventually offer a draw, only for Jadeja and Sundar to politely decline until their milestones are reached. It’s a day marked not by chaos, but by composure, grit, and resistance.
After heartbreaks at Headingley and Lord’s, India finally find heart in Manchester. They bat out five sessions, silence the crowd, and leave England questioning their attack without Stokes in the mix.
The pitch had its tricks, but India's willpower had more. This draw doesn't just keep the series alive; it defines what this young Indian side, led by Gill, is truly made of.
