Ravi Shastri warns England after Lord's Test win: It may hurt like Australia
"It hurts, as Australia found out in the first cycle of WTC. They had a slower over rate against India, and it cost them the second place. New Zealand qualified for that final. You've got to be fully aware of all this," Shastri told ICC.Furthermore, England should just focus on winning matches, which will help them make up for the loss of points."There will be certain games where they will probably make up for it but I think more than that, more than the over rate, you have to think of winning. If you focus on winning, in the last six months, you can probably try to adjust. See how you would get those two points back. But, you've got to win. That's more important. If you keep winning, that won't matter," he added.England failed to qualify for the WTC final in the last two editions but have started this cycle positively, having won two out of the first three matches. Hence, they will be eager to continue their momentum and seal the series with another win in the fourth Test set to begin from July 23 at Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester.- EndsMust Watch

The Draw That Hurt More Than Defeat
Sometimes, the only result possible might technically be a 'draw', but the reality of the situation is undeniable, and the feeling is mutual between the two 'warring' parties. There is a winner in this contest; there is that last man standing; someone did indeed have the last laugh. If you are fighting for survival, that is the kind of cut that you want to inflict. And that is what Team India did at Old Trafford in the fourth Test. The Miracle At Old Trafford Before we go any further, let's quickly wrap our heads around one statistic that might have slipped through the cracks in the absolute maze of all the records that have tumbled in this Test and the series overall. This was only the second drawn Test for the English team since Brendon McCullum took over as Head Coach, threw out the old playbook and ushered in the 'Bazball' era. That's 40 Test matches and two draws. The other draw, which was against Australia, was also at Old Trafford (2023). To be able to draw a Test match like this one - with the opposition having taken a 311-run first-innings lead and then having you down on the mat at 0/2, with as many as five sessions left to play and with fast bowlers like Joffra Archer and Chris Woakes at their disposal - that is almost miraculous. Yes, there's absolutely no doubt that the Manchester surface really helped the Indian batters grind it out and by the end of it completely took the wind out of the sails of the English bowlers (Ben Stokes used seven bowlers and was ready to shake hands on a draw before the last hour of play on Day Five), but do not let that take anything away from what the likes of KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar managed to do with the bat. Rishabh Pant – the Indian batter with the best batting average in overseas Tests since 2020 – had heroically come out to bat with a broken foot in the first innings, and there was only so much the team could expect him to deliver in the second. Sundar had been pushed up the order to number five, and the message must have been a very clear one: 'don't get out cheap'. When Rahul fell for 90 in the 71st over of the innings and then Shubman in the 88th, with over two sessions left to play, England would have smelled blood. But that's the closest they got to India's jugular. All The Lessons Learnt There's no doubt that the Indian team must have learnt a myriad of lessons so far in this series, in terms of things they could have done differently - both strategic and otherwise. However, the way the pieces fell, India's second innings of the Manchester Test was also the perfect reminder of India's Test batting prowess in the post Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara era - a few aspects of which have pleasantly surprised even the staunchest of critics. Regardless of what the eventual series scoreline might be, this has been a series that has not only been a massive learning experience for the Indian youngsters, and perhaps in particular for new Test captain Shubman Gill (who also happens to be one of the biggest pillars of the batting department and going through an absolute purple patch), it has also been an eye-opener in many ways, in terms of what certain individual batters have brought to the table. A New Dawn When KL Rahul scored a century in a warm-up match with England Lions (116), few would have known that he was heralding a new dawn, both on his own Test career and for the one opener's slot that had not yet been fully cemented after Rohit Sharma's Test retirement. Eight Test innings later and with 511 runs already under his belt for the series (the most for him so far in a single Test series) and with two centuries (the most for him so far in a single Test series), Yashasvi Jaiswal well and truly has a long-term Test opening partner. And mind you, it's not just the runs that would have convinced the team management that the top of the order is where Rahul belongs. It is also how he has found different gears to tackle different situations in the series so far, none more important perhaps than the one he exhibited in Manchester, as he watched - from the runner's end - two of his batting partners fall for ducks off consecutive deliveries, as the scoreboard read 0/2, with the team still 311 runs in the deficit. In the opening Test of the series, the stylish right-hander, who has played almost every single delivery he has faced on this tour entirely on merit, became the first Indian opener to score three Test centuries in England. In the fourth Test, he became the first Indian opener in 46 years to aggregate over 500 runs in an away Test series. He has always had the technique and the calmness required to be a successful Test batter, and he alone will perhaps know exactly what the mental tweaks are that have helped him finally realise his true potential. Jadeja's Feat This author has always felt that Ravindra Jadeja is a bit of an unsung hero, someone who wasn't really welcomed with open arms into the 'superstar' club, despite having been recognised as a 'rockstar' by Shane Warne way back in 2008. A man who walks into any Indian playing XI on the back of his all-round skills almost always finds a way to be involved in a match or series. On this tour of England, it's 'Jaddu' the batter who has really stepped up to the plate, with 'Jaddu' the spinner taking a backseat (7 wickets in 7 innings). The left-hander has batted twice in all four Tests so far and is currently the fourth highest run-getter in the series, behind only Shubman, Rahul and Pant, with 454 runs in 8 innings, at an average of almost 114, with one century and four fifties. It was heartbreaking to see how his almost single-handed effort of trying to save the Lord's Test went in vain. Which is why (regardless of what Stokes might have thought of Jadeja and Sundar's decision to bat on to get to their individual centuries), the ton in Manchester was vindication for India's premier all-rounder and a great reminder of what he is still capable of in this format with the bat - something that becomes all the more apparent on foreign tours and often goes unnoticed in most home Test series. Washington Sundar has come a long way since finishing as the 57th highest run-getter in the 2016 ICC U-19 World Cup, in which India finished as runners-up. He is now a bona fide Test centurion. It's an open secret that, in an effort to have more genuine all-rounders, the team management wants to have Sundar in the Test playing XI, and while his bowling skills are yet to bowl everyone over, the grit that Sundar the batter showed in Manchester in India's second innings must be lauded. Survival, Survival This was a scenario where the name of the game was survival. But one of the easiest traps to fall into for a youngster is to show off a bit. It was something Sundar managed to avoid, partly because of personal temperament and partly also because he understood exactly what the team needed from him in this scenario. It showed maturity and growth, and he fully deserved his maiden Test century. As far as the other batting hero of Manchester - Shubman - is concerned, he has, of course, already established himself as one of the key cogs of this Indian batting line-up. While he has to be given time to grow into a more effective leader and perhaps a shrewder captain, what is incredible to see is the way he can compartmentalise his two roles - that of batter and of captain. It's something that has held him in good stead in the IPL, as Gujarat Titans skipper, and which will no doubt prove to be a huge asset in the years to come as India Test captain as well. The last Test begins on July 31, and the quick turnaround might just work in India's favour, with the momentum firmly in the visitors' corner.

"We Had A Test Team": Virat Kohli's Brother Takes Sharp Dig At India's Bowling Unit
The Indian bowlers struggled against England during the fourth Test at Old Trafford, Manchester. The hosts put up a good bowling show to bowl out India for 358 runs. When India came in to bowl, they failed to replicate the performance of their opponents and struggled on the field. England made the most of the batting-friendly conditions and went on to post a mammoth total of 669 runs, taking a massive first-innings lead of 311 runs. Virat Kohli's brother Vikas took a dig at the India bowlers' struggle before the batters' valiant effort secured a draw for the Indian team. "Not long ago. We had a Test team, where our bowlers used to take 20 wickets," he wrote on Threads, probably referring to the Indian team under Virat Kohli's captaincy. "Not long ago.

England resumed Day 4 in command at 544 for 7 on after Joe Root had become the second-highest run-scorer in Test history during his majestic 150 on Friday. Stokes, 77 not out overnight, delighted Saturday's large crowd with yet more thrilling stroke-play before completing a 164-ball hundred with a leg-glanced four off Jasprit Bumrah. It was Stokes' first Test century in more than two years following a whirlwind 155 against Australia at Lord's in June 2023. India looked down and out after losing two wickets for a score of zero in the second innings. Both Yashasvi Jaiswal and B Sai Sudharsan departed without opening their account. The team looked to be staring at another defeat before Skipper Shubman Gill and KL Rahul pulled the handbreak. Gill and Rahul, together with all-rounders Ravindra Jaddeja, as well as Washington Sundar produced a great fightback with the bat to help the team secure a draw that keeps the tourists alive in the series.

ICC WTC 2025-27 Points Table: England slip to third after tough draw vs India in Manchester Test; Australia continue to lead standings
ICC World Test Championship 2025-2027 Standings: A valiant effort from the Indian batters saw them save the fourth Test against England in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at Old Trafford in Manchester on Sunday. After trailing by 311 runs in the first innings, skipper Shubman Gill and opener KL Rahul put on an 188-run partnership for the third wicket after two wickets fell for a no-score in the first over. Gill scored his fourth ton of the series while Rahul was unfortunate to be dismissed just 10 runs shy of his hundred. From there, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar stitched a 203-run partnership, helping India to a famous draw. England still leads the five-match series 2-1 ahead of the last Test. England slipped to third place in the World Test Championship (2025-27) standings after being condemned to their first draw in the 'Bazball' era in a Test not affected by rain. The Ben Stokes side now has 26 points from four Tests and a 54.17 PCT. India is still fourth with 33.33 PCT. Australia continue to lead the fresh new cycle of WTC standings with three wins and 100.00 PCT. Sri Lanka moved to second with 16 points and 66.67 PCT after two Tests. Bangladesh are fifth with one loss and one draw against Sri Lanka. West Indies, who had their chances against Australia in all three Tests but squandered those to get a clean sweep in the home series 3-0, have yet to open their account in the WTC this cycle. New Zealand, Pakistan and South Africa are yet to play any matches in this WTC cycle. Defending World Test Champion South Africa beat Zimbabwe 2-0 in the recently concluded Test match series, but since Zimbabwe is not part of the current WTC cycle, the series was not counted in for the standings.
