The 2025–27 ICC World Test Championship had its second draw, as India and England concluded a stalemate in the fourth Test at Old Trafford, Manchester, on Sunday, July 27. On Day 4, India was in the driver’s seat as the match was at a stalemate, but their performance with the bat on Day 4 wouldn’t let that happen as KL Rahul and Shubman Gill created a gritty resistance. This laid a wonderful foundation for an extraordinary day of play on Day 5, where India, down a great deal in the match, batted the day out and secured an unlikely draw. 

India would lose a mere two wickets on the final day, as Shubman Gill, Washington Sundar, and Ravindra Jadeja all stood unbeaten with centuries, and secured the match draw. Although England hoped to wrap up the Test in the final session and rest their exhausted bowlers, India refused to declare, allowing their all-rounders to complete their tons. The Test ended on a slightly tense note, with India closing their second innings at 425/4, capping off an unexpected escape from a likely defeat.

Before the fourth Test, India sat fourth in the WTC table with one win and two losses, holding a 33.33% win percentage. England, leading the series 2-1, were third with 61.11% despite losing points earlier due to a slow over rate at Lord's. The draw earned both teams four points each, keeping India at fourth with 16 points and an unchanged win percentage. England now have 26 points, but their win percentage has dropped slightly to 54.17, due to their second draw since 2022.

India and England head to the Oval for the ENG vs IND 2025 5th Test

Team India’s remarkable resistance on Days 4 and 5 ensured the series remains alive, giving them a chance to level the five-match series 2-2. With momentum on their side, the Men in Blue will look to push for a victory in the fifth and final Test at The Oval, which begins on Thursday, July 31. The draw at Old Trafford has injected new life into the contest, setting up a thrilling finale as India aim to cap off their comeback with a series-leveling performance in the English capital.

However, India’s hopes are tempered by a growing injury and fitness crisis within the squad. Jasprit Bumrah has already completed his scheduled three-Test workload and appeared fatigued during the fourth match. Meanwhile, Mohammed Siraj and Rishabh Pant struggled with injuries and discomfort throughout the game, casting doubt over their availability for the decider. These setbacks pose significant challenges for the team as they prepare to field a competitive side for the high-stakes clash at The Oval.
