India vs England – 4th Test, Day 4 Live Score: Shubman Gill Becomes First Asian to Break Major Run-Scoring Milestone
India’s second innings at Old Trafford (Manchester) on Day 4 of the fourth Test saw a ragged start, but one moment of brilliance has captured all the attention. Captain Shubman Gill has etched his name into cricket history by becoming the first-ever Asian batter to surpass the most runs in a single Test series in England, completing yet another half-century in the process.
Match Situation & Gill’s Heroics, India vs England – 4th Test
England amassed a mammoth 669 in their first innings, a historic high for the venue, establishing a daunting 311-run lead. Ben Stokes top-scored with 141, supported by Joe Root’s impactful ton and strong contributions down the order.
India’s second innings began disastrously with both openers—Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudharsan—falling for ducks within the very first over under Chris Woakes’ bowling blitz.
Under extreme pressure, KL Rahul and Shubman Gill restored some semblance of stability. Gill, anchoring the innings, brought up his eighth Test fifty off 77 balls, guiding India to 86/2 at tea, trailing by 225 runs.
Milestone Moment
By completing this fifty, Gill overtook Pakistan legend Mohammad Yousuf’s 2006 record of 631 runs in a Test series in England. Gill now leads with over 632 and counting, making him the first Asian to ever cross that mark in England.
