England vs India Manchester Test News

By stumps on Day 1, India had posted 264 for 4, with Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur both unbeaten on 19. Pant was taken to a nearby hospital for scans. Former England captain Michael Atherton also weighed in on the situation, suggesting that the injury could potentially rule Pant out of not just the match but possibly the entire series.

India’s 22-run defeat in the third Test at Lord’s means they now trail England 2-1 in the five-match series. Jadeja’s contributions in the remaining two Tests could be pivotal, not just for individual accolades but also for the team’s aspirations of a comeback. So far in the Test series, the 36-year-old has amassed 327 runs across six innings at a phenomenal average of 109.00.
