England’s victory for the first two hours of the fourth day of the fourth Test being played at Old Trafford, Manchester looked confirmed. Then Shubman Gill and KL Rahul have turned water to the British plans. After two wickets fell on Zero, Gill and Rahul shared a big blow to England by sharing 174 runs. What was the courage of England that he has come down on cheating. The fourth Test being played in Manchester has led to a case of ball tempering. In the viral video, Bridan cars are seen tampering with the ball.

Bridan Cars pressed the ball with shoes

It is clearly visible in the viral video that Bridan cars are deliberately pressing the ball with shoes. Former Australia veteran Ricky Ponting, who is commenting, gets an eye on this. They say that cars are rubbing the ball with shoes. This ball will be spoiled from one side and then reverse swing will start getting.

Ricky Ponting on Sky Sports Cricket said that the incident was of the last over of Bridan Cars, where he was tampering with the ball in his follow-three. He stops the ball and… Oops! Makes some large marks of spikes on the bright part of the ball.

311 lead declined to 137

On the fourth day, England extended their innings ahead with a score of 544/7. By this time, England had a total lead of 186 runs. Shortly after the day’s game began, Jasprit Bumrah made Liam Dawson clean at a score of 26, but captain Stokes was standing at the crease like a strong wall. No.-10 batsman Bridan Cars became a headache for the Indian team, who shared a 95-run partnership with Stokes, playing 47 runs. Stokes’s innings ended at a score of 141 and England scored 669 runs.

During this innings, Ben Stokes also broke many records. Stokes has now become the fifth and England captain to take a century and 5 wickets in a single Test match as a captain. Stokes has also crossed the 7,000 -run mark in its Test career.

Gill and Rahul did wonders

England had gained 311 runs in the first innings. In response, Yashasvi Jaiswal kept going without opening an account in the first over. On the fourth ball of the first over of the innings, Jaiswal was out, Sai Sudarshan became a victim of Golden Duck on the next ball. India had lost two important wickets at zero.

Captain Shubman Gill batting on number-4, but due to two early shaking, he had to come to bat in the first over. He took over the Indian innings in collaboration with KL Rahul and his partnership has been 174 runs till the fourth day. If Team India is unable to score 137 runs, then it will have to face the defeat of the innings.
