STUMPS on Day 2! England have had a very good day, one that has enabled them to be ahead of India in the IND vs ENG 4th Test 2025. Ben Stokes (5/72) claimed five wickets in what was a magnificent bowling performance as he helped England restrict India to 358 on the back of a fighting half-century from Rishabh Pant (54) who batted with an injured foot. It seemed that a total in excess of 350 was good on this track but England openers Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley totally nullified whatever little threat that the Indian bowlers posed. The aggressive openers scored freely on both sides of the wicket and kept England in control in the second innings of this Test match. The Indian bowlers were put to the sword by the right-hand left-hand combination of Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett and it was not before a sensational 166-run opening partnership that India found some success with the ball. Ravindra Jadeja provided India with the breakthrough as he dismissed Zak Crawley for 84 and debutant Anshul Kamboj was the other wicket-taker for India on Day 2, as he ended Ben Duckett's knock for 94 runs. While both England openers missed out on what would have been deserved centuries, Joe Root and Ollie Pope ensured that no more damage was done to the wickets column. England trail India by 133 runs and an exciting remainder of the IND vs ENG 4th Test awaits us!

For England, it was captain Ben Stokes, who stood up for the home side and made crucial breakthroughs, claiming wickets of Indian captain Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharshan, which helped the Three Lions pull things back.

Rishabh Pant, who looked in prime touch, injured himself, which saw the Indian wicketkeeper-batter leave the field due to an injury, which eventually might have ruled the player out of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025. It will still be interesting if Pant will be available to bat in case the need arises for Team India to risk the wicket-keeper in the middle. Why England Did Not Take Second New Ball During IND vs ENG 4th Test 2025 in Manchester?
