The opening day of the fourth Test in Manchester was yet another intriguing one in the riveting Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series. Momentum swayed between India and England before an unfortunate Rishabh Pant injury handed Ben Stokes and Co an implicit advantage at stumps on Wednesday (July 24, 2025). The visitors were batting at 264/4 when bad light forced an early end, with Ravindra Jadeja (19 not out) and Shardul Thakur (19 not out) at the crease.
