India captain Shubman Gill hit his fourth century of the series against England to give the visitors hope of salvaging a draw on the final day at Old Trafford.

It was a rare occasion when the pursuit of individual glory and team goals aligned perfectly. Tactically, India should have batted even longer in the fourth Test.

England captain Ben Stokes retired hurt with cramp as his team dominated day 3 of the fourth cricket test against India on Friday, but he soon returned as wickets fell. Stokes was 66 not out in the evening session at Old Trafford with England leading by 133 runs.
