Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal had provided a good start (their partnership tally has now crossed 1000 runs in just 21 matches). But Mandhana's dismissal brought about a slow-down as Pratika and Harleen Deol never quite found the top gear in their partnership. Then came a period where India first Rawal – Sophie Ecclestone producing a top delivery to breach her defence that also led to a spicy moment as the duo brushed shoulders. And after that Harleen was out in a bizarre fashion, failing to ground her bat or feet and finding herself short of the crease. Harmanpreet Kaur also quickly followed suit, but then came the match-defining partnership between Jemimah and Deepti that took India close to the finish line.
The highlight of Deepti's knock was a six over midwicket, where she crunched one through the leg side for the only maximum of the match. She remained unbeaten after Richa Ghosh fell and along with Amanjot, took India home with 10 balls to spare.

Joe Root Inflicts More Pain On India, Slams 150, As England Take Mammoth 186-Run Lead
Joe Root produced a batting masterclass on way to a milestone 38th hundred as England exploited a jaded Indian bowling attack to stamp their dominance on the fourth Test here on Friday. At stumps on day four, England were 544 for seven, stretching their first innings lead to 186 runs. Root made a sublime 150 off 248 balls while the other contributions came from Ben Stokes (77 batting off 134) and Ollie Pope (71 off 128), a day after the openers put a pedestrian looking Indian attack to sword. It has been a long tour with another Test to go in a week's time but considering the body language of Indian pacers in the field on Friday, lasting the whole series would be a challenge. The visitors have already been hit by a series of injuries with the latest one being X-factor cricketer Rishabh Pant's toe fracture. Both Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj seemed to be bowling with a niggle while debutant Anshul Kamboj hit underwhelming speeds in the range 125-130 kmph. Even Bumrah, who usually bowls in the range of 140 kmph, clocked speeds in the lower 130s. Having bowled just one over in the afternoon session, Bumrah was seen holding his ankle and even had to leave the field briefly. In his 24th over, he managed to procure the wicket of Jamie Smith (9). Siraj too seemed to be in discomfort like Bumrah, but he bowled with more intensity in the final session and was rewarded the wicket of Chris Woakes. The sun was out for the majority of the day, making conditions better for batting. Root made full use of that and in the process surpassed the great Ricky Ponting to become the second highest run-getter in Tests, only behind Sachin Tendulkar, who tallied 15921 runs. The lone positive for India was the performance of Washington Sundar who struck twice in the afternoon session after being questionably brought in as late as the 69th over. Shardul Thakur was used for 11 overs, raising questions on the presence of three all-rounders in the team. It would take a special effort from the Indians to bounce back and keep the series alive. In the afternoon session, Root reached his 12th hundred against India as England extended their dominance over India, reaching 433 for four at tea. Washington got the ball to drift and got rid of Pope (71 off 128) and Harry Brook (3 off 12) after lunch, providing a much needed relief for India following a wicketless morning session. Root, however, continued to pile on the runs and reached thee figures with a four down the leg side off Kamboj. India employed spinners Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja from both ends despite taking the new ball. The move worked as Sundar had Pope caught at first slip before having Brook stumped as he could not connect on the charge. Root chose to play on the backfoot when the spinners were in operation and used the reverse sweep effectively. Towards the end of the session, Root took a single off Kamboj to get past the great Ponting in the all time leading run getters list. What was worrying for India was the sight of Bumrah bowling just one over with the new ball before leaving the field. When he finally returned to bowl, the umpires reminded him that he was only allowed to bowl post tea. In the morning, the Indian bowlers did not pose enough threat for Root and Pope who steered England to 332 for two at lunch. After a forgettable evening session on day two, the Indian bowling attack once again failed to make inroads into the England batting. Besides an odd ball keeping low from the James Anderson end and another jumping from the opposite side, Bumrah and Co did not trouble Root and Pope. Guilty of offering too many freebies on the leg side on Thursday, the Indian pacers continued to offer loose balls to release pressure on the opposition. Bumrah bowled a full ball into Root's pads to start his day and the England veteran duly flicked it for a four. Later in his spell, Pope and Root were quick to pull Bumrah for a boundary each when the Indian pace spearhead pitched it short. Resuming the day at 225 for two, England eased to 266 for two in the first hour of play. Kamboj created a chance in his opening spell but Dhruv Jurel could not hold on to a tough chance. Pope was on 48 that time Washington was introduced post lunch and Root put him under pressure straightaway by reverse sweeping him for a boundary.

'Very difficult for India...': Former India player opens up over Team India's performance vs England in Manchester
Team India in Manchester Test. (PIC - X) Former India batter Manoj Tiwary is very critical of India's position in the ongoing fourth Test against England at Old Trafford, stating that the team is in no position to even salvage a draw, let alone push for a win. After posting a first innings total of 358, India failed to stop English batters from scoring big as the host are in line to post a hefty lead after Zak Crawley (84) and Ben Duckett (94) set the strong foundation, which was later cashed in by Ollie Pope and Joe Root on the second day after India bowlers failed to make inroads in the first session on Friday. However, Washington Sundar got the better of Pope for 71 after lunch. 'It is going to be difficult for India as England have scored more than 300 runs and they have a batting depth in their playing XI. It will be very difficult for India to drag this match to a draw, forget about winning it. India should focus on drawing this match as if we don't take wickets, the lead will mount and pressure will come on batters,' Tiwari told IANS. The veteran batter urged Indian bowlers to curb the run-scoring and bowl maiden overs to put pressure on England batters. 'We're not able to get wickets as bowlers are not disciplined enough and lack patience. England batters, from this position, look to rotate strike, which makes it difficult for the opposition. We should bowl maidens and stop the run flow. We need to get the remaining wickets as soon as possible to minimise the lead,' Tiwari said. England currently lead the five-match series 2-1 and are well placed to clinch the series.
