India vs England Live Score, 4th Test Match Day 5: Shubman Gill scored his fourth century of the series while Ben Stokes, despite battling pain, dismissed KL Rahul as India reached 223 for four on day five of the fourth Test against England at Manchester on Sunday. India started the day at 174 for two, trailing England by 137 runs.
The Indian captain Gill’s century proved crucial for India’s hopes of saving the match and keeping the series alive. India still trails England by 88 runs with limited batting options remaining, especially with Rishabh Pant injured.
Stokes, who was unable to bowl on day four due to discomfort in his right shoulder and hamstring, managed an eight-over spell on day five. During this spell, he delivered a rising ball that hit Gill’s right thumb before striking his helmet.
Gill’s innings ended when he edged a delivery from Jofra Archer that shaped away, contrary to his expectation of the ball coming back in. He was visibly disappointed at his dismissal given India’s position in the game.
At lunch, Ravindra Jadeja was yet to score while Washington Sundar was batting on 21 off 61 balls. Jadeja survived a close call when Joe Root failed to hold onto a difficult chance at first slip off Archer’s bowling.
England took the new ball after the 80th over, which resulted in Gill’s wicket. The bowling duties were shared between Liam Dawson and Stokes at the start of the day.
Left-arm spinner Dawson effectively challenged Washington by bowling into the rough and maintained tight control over the scoring rate.

India vs England Live Score: Tough calls will be taken at Oval
If India manage to hold on here, both sides will face some tough selection calls heading into the Oval. With the series finely poised, can India really afford to bench Bumrah—even after a quiet series? And given they’ll likely bowl last, can the selectors justify leaving out Kuldeep yet again? Admittedly, I’m rooting for an England win—but more than that, I’m rooting for the game itself. A series this good deserves a decider with everything on the line. Root replaces Stokes and quickly gets through a tidy maiden.
