Jaiswal Falls Prey to Archer Again
India’s chase of England’s 193 runs began poorly. Yashasvi Jaiswal again failed, falling without scoring to Jofra Archer once more. Following this, Karun Nair scored 14 runs, captain Shubman Gill managed 6 runs, and night watchman Akash Deep was dismissed for 1 run.
High Hopes on KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant
The only positive for India is KL Rahul’s unbeaten 33 runs. In his 47-ball innings, Rahul hit 6 fours. Rahul’s role will be crucial on the fifth day for India. Along with Rahul, the roles of Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja will also be important. Both have batted well in this series. India needs 135 runs on the final day, 14th July, to secure victory. For England, Brydon Carse took 2 wickets, while Jofra Archer and Ben Stokes took 1 wicket each.
