• The 203-run unbroken stand by Jadeja (107 not out) and Sundar (101 not out) thwarted England’s bid for victory on the final day.
• Shubman Gill’s 103 marked his fourth century of the series as India recovered from 0-2 to reach 425-4 in their second innings.
• England seized a 311-run advantage after posting 669 in their first innings, driven by centuries from Joe Root (150) and Ben Stokes (141).
• England captain Ben Stokes claimed five wickets and then held back on bowling late in the match to protect his attack ahead of the series-deciding Test.
• Rishabh Pant’s fractured toe ruled him out of the fifth Test, prompting India to reshuffle their lineup for the decisive contest at The Oval.
