IND 264/4 in 83 Overs (Stumps) | India vs England 4th Test 2025 Day 1 Highlights: Sai Sudharsan, Yashasvi Jaiswal Hit Fifties, Rishabh Pant Sustains Another Injury

STUMPS on Day 1! And it has been called due to bad light. It has been an exhausting day of cricket with both India and England having their moments in the game! Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul provided India with a solid start on Day 1, with the visitors not losing any wickets in the first session. But England came roaring back in the post-lunch session with Yashasvi Jaiswal (58), KL Rahul (46) and Shubman Gill (12) being the batters to be dismissed. England gained control in the second session with the triple strike and it seemed that they would grow more into the game from then on. It was a memorable day for Liam Dawson (1/45), who picked up his first Test wicket after eight wickets when he dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal. KL Rahul fell to Chris Woakes (1/43) while Ben Stokes (2/47) got his opposite number, Shubman Gill. Rishabh Pant and Sai Sudharsan then had a 72-run partnershi,p which ended after the former sustained another injury, this time to his right foot while attempting a reverse sweep off Chris Woakes' bowling. Sai Sudharsan, who made his return to the Indian playing XI, scored 61 before Ben Stokes ended his innings. Ravindra Jadeja (19*) and Shardul Thakur (19*) were at the crease when stumps was called due to poor light.

OUT! Ben Stokes again and this time, it is Sai Sudharsan who has to depart! The left-hander, who batted so well so far, fell to a short ball trap and found Brydon Carse at fine leg. India lose another wicket as England continue to grow more into this match. A good innings, which promised much more, has ended. Sai Sudharsan c Brydon Carse b Ben Stokes 61(151)

FIFTY for Sai Sudharsan and it is hopefully the start of many, many more to come! The left-hander has batted with a lot of sensibility today and now will eye a big score. Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant has been forced to retire hurt after copping a blow to his right foot while attempting a reverse sweep off Chris Woakes' bowling. 

Rishabh Pant and Sai Sudharsan's partnership is already worth 71 and the two will look to stay undefeated at stumps. England meanwhile, will ideally want to make further in-roads before the close of play today.

The last session of the day is here and Rishabh Pant, along with Sai Sudharsan, have resumed the proceedings for India with the bat. India will look for a good partnership between these two southpaws while England would eye a couple of more wickets atleast. 

TEA on Day 1! It has been England's session so far with three wickets falling. KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal and captain Shubman Gill were the ones to be dismissed with India one run away from hitting 140. After the opening session, which India dominated, England have hit right back. Rishabh Pant and Sai Sudharsan are at the crease for India and they will look to form a partnership in the third and final session that will start soon.

OUT! The England captain gets the Indian captain! Shubman Gill misjudged the straight delivery and left it and the ball hit his pad before going to wicketkeeper Jamie Smith. Shubman Gill reviewed, probably for the height but the DRS showed three reds leading to a huge roar at Old Trafford. Shubman Gill lbw b Ben Stokes 12(23)

OUT! Liam Dawson takes his first Test wicket after eight years and he has dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal who played so well since the morning. It was a soft dismissal with the left-hander getting an edge to first slip with Harry Brook taking the catch. Yashasvi Jaiswal c Harry Brook b Liam Dawson 58(107) 

FIFTY for Yashasvi Jaiswal! His 12th in Test cricket and he will now look to carry on and make it big here. The left-hander has battled hard in testing conditions and tough bowling and got himself a score here. 

OUT! Chris Woakes has struck and he has dismissed KL Rahul! The right-hander got an outside while attempting to punch it on straight back in the bowler's direction and Zak Crawley made no mistake in taking a good catch. KL Rahul c Zak Crawley b Chris Woakes 46(98)
