MANCHESTER – Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar hit epic unbeaten centuries and propel a superb India to defy England and secure a draw in the fourth Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Stokes at least afforded England an opening before the second new ball. Jofra Archer removed Gill, caught behind after an injudicious waft, but only after joining Don Bradman in a select club who made four hundreds in a series against England and the great Australian and Sunil Gavaskar who managed four in one as captain.

The Manchester Test between India and England ended in a draw, but it was far from dull. Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar formed an unbeaten partnership of 203 runs for the fifth wicket, which began to irritate Ben Stokes.
