Reuters The Indian batters produced a fightback for the ages on the last two days of the fourth Test against England in Manchester and keep the five-match series alive heading into the series finale at The Oval starting Thursday. England were staring at the prospect of clinching the series a game to spare after posting a mammoth 669 thanks to Joe Root and Ben Stokes' centuries and later reducing India to 0/2 with Chris Woakes getting rid of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudharsan in the first over. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Captain Shubham Gill (103) and KL Rahul (90), however, had come to India's rescue on Day 4 with an unbroken 174-run stand. And after both batters departed in quick succession on Day 5 morning at Old Trafford, it was the turn of spin-bowling all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja (107 not out) and Washington Sundar (101 not out) to stand tall and defy the Englishmen. Jadeja and Sundar shine bright on Day 5 Jadeja and Sundar not only steadied the hosts after India found themselves at a precarious 222/4 following Gill's dismissal off Jofra Archer's bowling, they ended up forging an unbroken 203-run partnership for the fifth wicket that had England captain Ben Stokes himself walking up and offering a draw at the start of the final hour of the final day. And Stokes and his teammates weren't too pleased when the two Indian all-rounders turned down their offer, only to shake hands shortly after, just so they could bring up their centuries. Not only was the Indian team felicitated on social media for their heroics with the bat towards the end of the Manchester Test, there were also those criticising the hosts for the way they acted in the final minutes of what turned out to be another riveting contest between these two teams. Here are select reactions: When it comes to India-England, Old Trafford is known for keeping the series alive. Congratulations, Team India, on a fantastic comeback. @klrahul, @ShubmanGill, @imjadeja, and @Sundarwashi5, showed great character and fighting spirit. Good luck for the final Test.

Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar help heroic Team India draw Manchester Test
Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar. (PIC - X) New Delhi: The last session of the fifth day of the Manchester Test is going on. Ravindra Jadeja has scored a century in 181 balls. Sundar and Jadeja did not accept the draw after Ben Stokes offered a draw in the last hour. How did Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar perform? Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar made a partnership of 200 runs for the fifth wicket and brought India back into the match, and resulted the match into a draw. India had a lead of 11 runs till the tea break. Earlier, till lunch, India scored 223 runs at the loss of 4 wickets. What happened on day 5? On the fifth day, India lost two important wickets of KL Rahul and captain Shubman Gill in the first session of the day. KL Rahul became the victim of Ben Stokes on a score of 90. While captain Gill scored the 9th century of his career and the fourth century of the series. Gill and Rahul shared a partnership of 188 runs for the third wicket. Where is Rishabh Pant? Due to Rishabh Pant's injury, the Indian batting line-up lacks strength after Jadeja and Sundar, so both of them will have to continue their batting in the same manner. The problem for England was that left-arm spinner Liam Dawson (70 runs in 39 overs without any success) could not give enough challenge to the Indian left-handed batsmen. Jofra Archer also could not achieve any success after lunch.
