Captain Shubman Gill (78*) and KL Rahul (87*) staged a remarkable 174-run partnership to revive India’s hopes in the 4th Test at Old Trafford after a disastrous 0/2 start. Their stand is now the highest-ever for a team recovering from such a collapse, surpassing a 48-year-old Indian record. England posted 669, bolstered by Ben Stokes’ 141 and earlier five-wicket haul. At stumps on Day 4, India reached 174/2, trailing by 137 runs. Despite aggressive spells from Jofra Archer and Liam Dawson, the Indian pair remained composed. The Test remains delicately poised heading into the final day in Manchester. (PC: BCCI)
