IND vs ENG: Full list of records broken during India vs England 4th Test in Manchester
India pulled off an unlikely draw on Sunday against England in the fourth Test in Manchester in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Though India still trails 2-1 in this series, it goes into the final Test with its tails up, having survived a 311-run first-innings deficit and playing out the final day with just eight wickets in hand. For England, Joe Root and Ben Stokes created multiple records as the side posted a massive 669 runs in the first innings. For the visitor, Shubman Gill continued his run-scoring spree. Here are the records broken in Manchester in the fourth Test: Root equals Sangakkara: England batter Joe Root continued his rise to the top of Test batting charts as he recorded his 38th century to equal Kumar Sangakkara in the most Test centuries list. He's now joint at fourth spot. Root dominates India: This was also Root's 12th century against India, the most any batter has scored against the side. Next-up, Tendulkar: During his 150-run knock, Root went from fifth to second-highest run-getter in Test cricket, surpassing Jacques Kallis, Rahul Dravid and Ricky Ponting. He's now behind Sachin Tendulkar. By the time he was eventually dismissed, Root's tally stood at 13,409 runs. Forgettable century: Jasprit Bumrah recorded the most expensive spell of his Test career, two for 112, in his 48-match red-ball career. Captain fantastic: Ben Stokes became the fourth all-rounder from England to score a century and pick a five-wicket haul in the same match. Tony Greig, Ian Botham and Gus Atkinson are the other players to achieve the feat. Only Botham has achieved this feat more than once (5). In elite company: Ben Stokes completed 7,000 runs in Test cricket — only the third player to record 7,000 runs and 200 wickets in Tests. Only Jacques Kallis and Garfield Sobers had achieved the feat before Stokes. Bumrah equals Ishant: Jasprit Bumrah equalled Ishant Sharma's tally of 51 wickets in England to become India's joint-highest wicket-taker in the country. Mammoth total: England scored 669 runs — the ninth-highest total conceded by India. For England, this was its second-best effort against India, with the best of 710 for seven coming in Birmingham in 2011. The last team to score 600 runs or more against India was New Zealand, which managed 680 runs in Wellington in 2014. Gill's golden run: Shubman Gill became only the third Indian batter after Sunil Gavaskar and Yashasvi Jaiswal to score 700 runs or more in a Test series. He finished his Test with 722 runs, the third-most by an Indian in a series. Gill also became the first Asian batter to score 650 runs or more in a Test series in England. Captain Gill makes a mark: He scored his fourth century of the series, tying him with Sunil Gavaskar and Virat Kohli for the most hundreds by an Indian in a series. Gill also tied with Don Bradman, for the most hundreds in a series by a captain. Bradman had reached the three-figure mark four times during the Ashes in 1947/48 in Australia. Jadeja-Washington strike match-saving stand: Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar struck hundreds on the final day of the Test, adding 223 runs for the fifth wicket, the highest for India in the 4th innings of an away Test.

Ravindra Jadeja becomes third cricketer to score 1000 runs and take 30 wickets in away country
Manchester [UK], July 27 (ANI): Star India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja on Sunday, during the second session of the fifth and final day of the fourth Test, which is being played at Old Trafford in Manchester, joined the likes of England's Wilfred Rhodes and West Indies' Garry Sobers to become the third cricketer to score 1000 runs and pick 30 wickets in an away country. At the stroke of Tea on Day 5 of the Manchester Test, Jadeja was unbeaten on 53 runs off 102 balls. With this knock, the left-hand batter completed his 1000 runs in away Tests in England. Earlier in the second innings, Jadeja snapped four wickets in 37.1 overs of bowling, where he conceded 143 runs at an economy of 3.8. He took the wickets of Zak Crawley, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, and Brydon Carse in his spell. With these four wickets, the left-arm spinner completed 30 wickets in away Test matches in England. The other two players to achieve the same landmark were Wilfred Rhodes (in Australia) and Garry Sobers (in England) during their playing days. With this innings, Jadeja also registered his faith 50-plus score in the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025, and this is the most for India from No.6 or below in a Test series (home or away), alongside VVS Laxman's as many on the 2002 tour of West Indies. Recapping the second session of Day 5, Sundar and Jadeja stepped up just when the team needed them the most, shutting the doors on England's hopes of a late comeback, at least for the time being. Sundar looked assured at the crease, batting on 57 not out at the break, while Jadeja once again showcased his ever-growing maturity in red-ball cricket with an unbeaten 53. This was Jadeja's fifth fifty of the series, a reflection of the kind of consistency and temperament he has added to his batting in recent years. The duo batted through the entire second session without losing a wicket, scoring 99 runs in 29 overs, a session of pure grit, patience and smart batting. With one final session left in the match, India now holds a narrow lead. A draw looks the most likely outcome if the visitors bat through the remaining overs, which would mean England take a 2-1 lead into the final Test at The Oval. Coming to the first session, Gill's exceptional innings of 103 kept his side in the game as his side posted 223 runs with the loss of four wickets at the end of Lunch on Day 5 against England. (ANI)
