New Delhi: Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar take India closer to drawing the fourth Test against England at Old Trafford in Manchester. The duo forged an unbeaten partnership of 100 runs as the visitors post 322/4 at tea on Day 5.
Archer removed Shubman Gill for 103 runs on the brink of lunch, but Jadeja and Sundar batted brilliantly and completed their fifties. Earlier, Chris Woakes gave the hosts a dream start and removed Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudharsan on a duck in the first over.
But KL Rahul and Shubman Gill batted well and stitched a 188-run partnership for the third wicket to help the team recover from early blows. Ben Stokes removed Rahul for 90 and broke the partnership. He bowled a straight delivery, and the ball stayed low from where it would generally bounce around hip height. Rahul played for the original length but the ball didn’t rise and hit the pad in line with the middle stump.
After Rahul’s dismissal, Gill completed his fourth Test hundred in the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, but he was dismissed by Archer on the brink of lunch. The England pacer bowled a short of a length delivery outside off and it just nipped away slightly. Gill played the ball away from his body, and it took an outside edge of his bat to the keeper.
