Overview

• India batted through the final day at Old Trafford after Jadeja and Sundar shared an unbeaten 203-run partnership to secure a draw and keep the series alive.
• England captain Ben Stokes offered a late handshake to settle for a draw but relied on part-time bowlers as his frontline attack was rested in the final session.
• The result leaves England leading the five-match series 2-1 and sets up a winner-takes-all fifth Test at The Oval beginning Thursday.
• Rishabh Pant has been ruled out of the Oval Test with a fractured foot and will be replaced by wicketkeeper-batter Narayan Jagadeesan.
• The fourth Test’s conclusion reignited debate over the spirit of cricket after India declined England’s early draw offer to reach personal milestones.
