IND 174/2 in 63 Overs (Trail by 137 Runs) at Stumps | India vs England Highlights of 4th Test 2025 Day 4: Shubman Gill, KL Rahul's Strong Resistance Help India Take Game Into Final Day

Stumps! End of Day 4 and that has been a fascinating fight from the Indians. Shubman Gill and KL Rahul came on the crease when India were 0/2 and stitched a partnership of 174 playing 63 overs between them, which included two wicketless sessions. Gill and Rahul are both well set and they will look to take the game as deep as possible on Day 5. Ben Stokes has not bowled in this innings so far and England will need him with the ball on Day 5. At current position, England are still ahead in the game. 

The partnership has now crossed the 150-mark and gradually proceeding towards 200. Both batters on crease didn't have any hiccups and they have started to open up. On every occasion like this throughout the series, it has been Ben Stokes who has provided the breakthrough but he has not bowled so far in the day. Gill and Rahul keep the resistance up and tire out the England bowlers. 

More runs for KL Rahul. This has clearly been one of the best Test series he has ever been part of as a batter. Two centuries and now in the fourth Test match he gets one more half-century in a situation where the team needed him to grind and fight. He has shown his organisation and settled at the crease looking to bat deep. 

Shubman Gill and KL Rahul have showed great resilience since the second session and the England bowlers have not been able to breach their defence. They have kept things tight and Gill and Rahul have just played through it. England will be tired at one point and they have tried to make sure they bat out time. They have brought up the 100-run partnership and will aim to bat out the day. 

An entire session and no wickets. Exactly what the doctor ordered for Team India. For that the credit has to go to Shubman Gill and KL Rahul. They came to the crease after the break determined and never allowed the England bowlers to be too threatening. Yes there were a few chances given here and there with Liam Dawson dropping Gill at point but despite that, both of them batted authoritatively. India will need them around in the current situation. 

After the initial setback and a few scares, Shubman Gill and KL Rahul has calmed things down a bit and stitched a steady partnership. They played their shots and didn't shut shop at any point of time. Made Ben Stokes to rotate his bowlers and look for openings. They will need to bat a lot deeper for India to have a chance. 

After the end of the first session, England had their tails up and they pounced on India attacking them from all sides. India had their back against the walls and it is the point from where Shubman Gill tried to launch a counter-attack cracking some impressive down the ground shots. England are bowling full with runs behind them and India has looked to hit back. 

After the two wickets in the first over of Chris Woakes, Shubman Gill and KL Rahul survived a few tricky balls from Jofra Archer before they did just enough to survive and enter lunch. India are in some real trouble, facing the threat of an innings defeat with Rishabh Pant still battling an injury. Gill and Rahul have to bat with determination in the next session. 

Out! Disaster for India. They lose Sai Sudharsan as well and that too in the first over. Chris Woakes comes round the wicket again and angles the ball in which seams out, Sudharsan wanted to leave but the ball bounced extra to take the edge and carry to the slips. Second consecutive wicket and golden duck for Sudharsan. India in deep trouble. Sai Sudharsan c Brook b Woakes 0(1).

Out! Big wicket for England and it comes early. Yashasvi Jaiswal disappoints once again. Chris Woakes came round the wicket, angled the ball into him, Jaiswal closed the face of the bat and the ball carried to Joe Root. Root fumbled once and took the catch in the second attempt. England get early breakthrough. Jaiswal c Root b Woakes 0(4).
