India vs England 4th Test LIVE Score: Sanjay Manjrekar and Jonathan Trott on Shubman Gill departly cheaply for the third time in a row

“I don’t want to connect this dismissal with the incident on Day 3, but suddenly Shubman Gill is not getting the scores. And this is a bit of a reality check. It’s not an extended stretch of failures. But three short innings where he has been out playing a defensive shot. I see a little bit of tentativeness,” Manjrekar says on JioHotstar.

“Suddenly the attention went from his batting to the way he is leading the side. The first two Tests were about Shubman Gill the batter. Now it’s a sort of play with the character, and he’s almost made a target for himself. And that’s what you don’t want to do. Especially when you go to an opposition that’s tough to play… he’s put a target on himself. Past captains didn’t mind the target. It made them a better player. It remains to be seen how long it takes Shubman Gill to bounce back,” Trott says during the same show.

Kya laga rahe hain ball pe,” Jaiswal was heard telling Sai on the stump mic. IND 107/1 after 36

India vs England 4th Test LIVE Score: Team India face a do-or-die battle at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester against England in the fourth Test amid the threat of rain. The fourth India vs England Test starts on 23 July (Wednesday) with Shubman Gill and Co being 2-1 behind in the five-match series. Another defeat for India will give England an unassailable 3-1 lead in the series.

India face uphill task amid rain threat

India must not lose the Manchester Test if they want to keep the series alive till the fifth match at The Oval, London. However, rain could play spoilsport as there are predictions of heavy rain and thunderstorms on the first two days of play. Losing too many overs due to rain in Manchester may spoil India’s party.

Nonetheless, the Shuman Gill-led India already face a very tough battle as they are suffering from multiple injury issues. Akash Deep and Arshdeep Singh are ruled out of the fourth Test, while Nitish Kumar Reddy is out of the series.

Haryana fast bowler Anshul Kamboj may get his debut in place of Akash Deep, while Shardul Thakur could come in for Nitish. Another major selection call would be around Karun Nair, who is reportedly set to be replaced by Sai Sudharsan.

Meanwhile, England have announced one change with all-rounder Liam Dawson returning to the Test XI for the first time since 2017. He replaces Shoaib Bashir.

England XI for the 4th Test: Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (C), Jamie Smith, Liam Dawson, Chris Woakes, Brydon Carse, and Jofra Archer.
