Farcical scenes as England baffled by glory-chasing Indian batsmen
Ben Stokes' latest injury-defying act has failed to inspire England as just a second draw of the Bazball era following stubborn India resistance at Old Trafford kept the Test series alive. A troublesome left leg and a fresh problem in his right shoulder failed to deter the England captain, who snared KL Rahul for 90 on the last morning of the fourth Test to give his side hope of moving into an unassailable 3-1 series lead. Jofra Archer then dismissed Shubman Gill for 103 on the stroke of lunch but Joe Root dropping Ravindra Jadeja from the next ball proved crucial as he and Washington Sundar batted out the rest of the day. However, there were farcical scenes at the finish on Sunday when it became clear there would be no winner as India's batters elected against shaking hands with 15 overs left — the earliest opportunity a draw could be agreed — so both could get their hundreds. 'You want to get a Test hundred against Harry Brook?' Stokes said. Root and Brook provided buffet bowling to speed things along, with Jadeja getting to his ton first and and Sundar followed to signal the end of proceedings, with India on 4-424 and a lead of 113. Brook's bowling added to the drama as the cricket world quickly sided with the Indian batsmen in their hunt for the glory of a century. 'When you have batted 50 overs to save a Test match, you are perfectly entitled to seek a cherished landmark. And it is good to see that everyone is in the batters' camp on this one,' Harsha Bhogle wrote. 'I have no issue with Stokes wanting to go off but I hope young Harry Brook, when he has a quiet moment to himself, will be a bit disappointed with what he did.' Jadeja celebrates his well-earned ton late in the draw. Credit: AAP Former England captain Nasser Hussain said he did not have a problem with India's tactics but 'England seemed to have a problem with it'. 'They were a little bit tired, tired bowlers, tired legs, they wanted to get off,' he said. 'The two lads have worked hard to get into the 80s and 90s — they wanted Test match hundreds. 'Stokes didn't have to bowl Brook and it looked a bit silly at the end there but we make far too much of these things. 'They played well, they deserved the draw, they deserved to be there at the end.' Another ex-England skipper in Alastair Cook also felt it was 'the right decision to carry on'. 'Five years down the line you look at the scorecard you see two brilliant hundreds to save the game, plus obviously Gill's as well,' he said. 'It will be forgotten about, Harry Brook's 37mph (60km/h) ball.' With the fifth Test getting under way on Thursday, much of the focus will likely centre on Stokes' availability after he was left weary and wounded in Manchester. He battled cramp in his left leg when batting on Friday and reported general soreness on Saturday, which meant he did not bowl as Rahul and Gill took India from 2-0 to 2-174 overnight. Stokes returned to the fray on the final morning and made the breakthrough with his 20th delivery. Rahul was beaten by a nip-backer that thudded into his knee roll in front of middle stump. Having moved on to a titanic 700 runs for the series, Gill brought up a fourth three-figure score of the trip off 228 balls with a push into the offside for a single. By then, England had the second new ball, taken 40 minutes before lunch, and Archer claimed the prize wicket of Gill. Root parried then dropped the rebound at head height after Jadeja flirted at a rising delivery from Archer first up. With the pitch flattening out, Sundar and Jadeja grew increasingly confident through the afternoon. Both teams must agree on the draw and England were clearly unhappy at the pair continuing, with Brook eventually called upon to send down some floaty off-spin while Root was kept on. Jadeja got to his hundred in a blizzard of boundaries, eventually finishing on 107 not out, before Washington brought up his first Test century in Brook's next over before hands were shaken five overs after England had first offered them. Stokes said: 'I'll always try and give everything that I possibly can. Try and run through a brick wall. 'I ask the guys up there to run through a brick wall for the team. I'll always try and do the same to try and lead by example in that sense. 'Bowling, being out in the field all that kind of stuff it is tough work, but pretty sore.' Asked about his shoulder, he added: 'It's just a workload thing, got through a fair few amount of overs and just everything starts creeping up on you. 'I'll keep trying, keep going. As I always say to all the bowlers, pain is only an emotion.' India have their own injury issues for the final Test with coach Gautam Gambhir revealing that Rishabh Pant, who was taken from the field on a cart on the first day, is ruled out with a foot fracture.

Brilliant fielding, murderous batting: Maxwell's night out makes it 4-0 in St Kitts
The pressure exerted by Australia's batters was shown by how the West Indian bowlers, pace and spin alike, were often unwilling to put the ball in a spot where it could be reached. As a consequence, they delivered an eye-watering 16 wides. Loading He signalled his intention to make an impact in the field, as the Australians again sought to restrict West Indies on the almost comically small Warner Park. With boundaries of similar dimensions to Eden Park in Auckland, sixes tend to be the rule rather than the exception. But Maxwell's interventions helped ensure that those big hits were somewhat curtailed. His first catch, diving forward to get game-three centurion Shai Hope, was excellent in itself. The second, leaping up to pluck Roston Chase as though picking an apple from a high tree branch, was gloriously nonchalant. These two were merely scene-setters, however, for the exit of Romario Shepherd. Leaning back to pummel Adam Zampa down the ground, Shepherd looked satisfied that he'd hit a six. The ball had maybe a couple more inches to travel over the rope when it was intercepted by a flying Maxwell, who kept his foot inside the boundary and flicked the ball to Green before sprawling over the line. The umpire's check confirmed a sublime bit of athleticism and timing. Rain stopped the West Indies innings with four balls left at 9-203, but play resumed after 55 minutes without any overs deducted. Nathan Ellis, best of the Australian bowlers with figures of 0-21 from his four overs, conceded just two runs from those four balls. After Inglis and Maxwell had their say with the bat, the Australians subsided briefly with the loss of 3-5 in 10 balls. David had been rested in recognition that he is still recovering from a serious hamstring injury, and this gave Hardie and Bartlett the opportunity to accompany Green to the finish line. Bartlett was unluckily out when a straight drive hit the stumps via Shepherd's hand while he was backing up, before Green and Sean Abbott ended the game with four balls to spare – just as the rain returned. Loading This was another major reverse for the West Indies, who struggled against Australia in the Test series but have shown even more weakness in T20, which had once been the region's strength. No batter got past 31 in this game, while the fielding was often desultory at best. With 11 runs still required, Sherfaine Rutherford dropped Green on the boundary. Australia will duly have the opportunity to complete an unbeaten tour of the Caribbean in the final game on Tuesday morning, before another white-ball series against South Africa on home soil in August.
