The 4th Test between India and England at Old Trafford, Manchester, saw India face a challenging first day.

England captain Ben Stokes, opting to bowl first-a rare and historically unsuccessful tactic at Old Trafford-began strongly, with Liam Dawson making a notable comeback by dismissing Yashasvi Jaiswal early. India ended day one at 264 for 4 wickets.

Key contributions came from Sai Sudharsan, who showed aggressive strokes including two hook fours off Jofra Archer, and Rishabh Pant, who scored 37 runs off 48 balls before retiring hurt after attempting a reverse sweep that led to an injury. Shubman Gill, the Indian captain, was also dismissed early on a decision upheld by review after being trapped lbw by Ben Stokes.

England's bowling was led well by Stokes himself, who took 2 wickets for 47 runs in 14 overs. India trails 2-1 in the series and must win this Test to stay alive. Historically, India has never won a Test match at Old Trafford across nine previous attempts, adding pressure to their campaign.
