England spinner Liam Dawson, who has been recalled in the national side for a Test after eight years, took just seven balls to make an impact. Dawson replaced Shoaib Bashir for the fourth Test against India at Old Trafford in Manchester and took a wicket on the first ball of his second over on day 1 (Jul 23). The left-arm orthodox spinner dismissed a well set Yashasvi Jaiswal for 58 to mark his comeback to the Test cricket. The last time Dawson played Test cricket for England he took 1/42 against South Africa in Nottingham back in 2017. Have a look at the wicket below:

The fourth Test between India and England is currently underway at the Old Trafford cricket ground in Manchester. India are coming here after a heartbreaking 22-run defeat at the Lord's, while England lead the series by 2-1. The visitors are desperate for a win to stay alive in the series. If record books are to be checked, India have a poor outing in Manchester with four defeats and five draws in nine Tests. However, this ground is pretty special for India as Sachin Tendulkar had scored his maiden international century (unbeaten 119) in 1990. And just when you thought that was the only moment for India at Old Trafford, there is another milestone that you are unaware of.<h2>Who has the highest Test score for India at Old Trafford?</h2>This record is not held by Sachin Tendulkar but instead by former India captain Mohammed Azharuddin. In the very same Test, where Tendulkar scored his maiden ton, Azharuddin, leading the pack, smashed 179 off 243 balls, which helped India to reach 432 in response to England's 532 in the first innings. However, the match was drawn as Sachin Tendulkar scored an unbeaten ton in the fourth innings and India were 343/6 at the end of the fifth day while chasing 408.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/who-are-the-three-indian-captains-apart-from-kohli-dhoni-and-rohit-to-lead-in-all-three-formats-1753009558850">Who are three Indian captains apart from Kohli, Dhoni and Rohit to lead in all three formats?</a><h2>Anshul Kamboj debuts for India</h2>After a series of injuries in the Indian pace attack with likes of Arshdeep Singh and Akashdeep Singh being ruled out of the fourth Test, young pacer Anshul Kamboj with cap no. 318 debuted for Team India earlier on Wednesday (Jul 23).&nbsp;Kamboj played for Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul have offered India a solid opening pair for the ongoing Test series in England. The duo has added 285 runs in seven innings batted together and went past fifty three times so far. The pair added 94 runs on day 1 (Jul 23) of the fourth Test in Manchester - the highest for them in the series and the highest opening partnership at the venue since India got independence in 1947 from Britishers.

Having been plagued with a series of injuries after the Lord’s Test, Team India on Wednesday (July 23) handed a debut to pace sensation Anshul Kamboj in the Manchester Test. Playing at Old Trafford and short of options, the management decided to hand the 24-year-old his maiden cap with Akash Deep (groin) and Arshdeep Singh (impact injury) missing out. The other change saw Sai Sudharsan return to the Playing XI with Karun Nair dropping to the bench.

<h2>Who is Anshul Kamboj?</h2>Kamboj joined the Indian squad ahead of the Manchester Test as the management wanted to avoid any last-minute tussle with injuries. Jasprit Bumrah, who was likely to be rested for the Test match due to workload management, made it to the Playing XI; however, that was not the case with Arshdeep Singh and Prasidh Krishna, who both missed out. &nbsp;&nbsp;Kamboj represented Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League, where he came into the limelight. The pacer from Haryana bagged eight wickets in the season from as many games at an average of 21.50 and an economy of 8.&nbsp;&nbsp;He got the spotlight during the Ranji Trophy contest between Haryana and Kerala in the 2024-25 season, having achieved a rare feat of picking 10 wickets in an innings while playing in Rohtak. He became just the third bowler to achieve the rare 10-wicket haul feat in the Ranji Trophy, ending with figures of 49/10. &nbsp;<h2>Sai Sudharsan returns to Playing XI</h2>The Indian team made minor changes for the Manchester Test as struggling Karun Nair was dropped in favour of Sai Sudharsan. Nair scored 131 runs in six innings during the series and largely struggled for form on his return to the Indian team. Sudharsan, on the other hand, got limited chances, having played in the Leeds Test where he scored 0 and 30 respectively.<h2>India Playing XI for Manchester Test</h2>Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (c), Rishabh Pant (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Anshul Kamboj, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj.

England skipper Ben Stokes won the toss in fourth Test against India at Old Trafford in Manchester and decided to bowl first on Wednesday (Jul 23).

England opener Zak Crawley, facing Jasprit Bumrah, backed out of the batting stance twice which didn't go down well with the Indian slip cordon which also included Gill. Crawley was also hit on the wrist by a Bumrah delivery after which he called out the physio immediately. Gill immediately ran to the English batter and exchanged some words but the over proved to be the last of day 3. India eventually bowled out England for 192 on day 4 but failed to the chase the target and lost the most by 22 runs.

India skipper Gill reveals '90 seconds' which led to confrontation with England batters at Lord's

Former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting has backed India Test captain Shubman Gill for his outburst on day 3 in Lord's Test against England batter Zak Crawley. Gill, out of character, had a bit of heated exchange with Crawley when the England batter decided to use some extra time before facing the bowler in the dying moments of the day. While many called the behaviour from Gill a copy of former Test skipper Virat Kohli, Ponting said it was the ‘captain standing up for the team.’Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/how-many-overs-bumrah-has-bowled-in-two-tests-pathan-wants-bumrah-to-go-extra-mile-amid-workload-management-talk-1753184329619">'Give it your all,' Ex-India all-rounder Pathan wants Bumrah to 'go extra mile'</a>“That's the captain standing up for his team, that's a captain really wanting to show that it's his team now and this is the way that we're going to play the game, and also, I guess, wanting to give a little bit back,” Ponting was quoted as saying by the ICC Digital. “I think that's him starting to put his stamp on his team. And a lot like Virat (Kohli) did, similar ways like that. Rohit (Sharma) probably was never as outwardly aggressive, I guess, especially to opposition players.

Wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant is also under injury cloud as far as keeping wickets is concerned. Premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah, meanwhile, has been confirmed to play in the Test.

Former India spinner Ravi Ashwin says that pacer Anshul Kamboj, who is yet to make his India debut, is in the league of bowlers like Zaheer Khan and Jasprit Bumrah. Notably, Kamboj has been drafted into the India Test squad for fourth Test against England which starts Wednesday (Jul 23) in Manchester.

IND vs ENG, 4th Test: All you need to know about live streaming details, pitch report and more

&nbsp;Team India will lock horns with England in the fourth Test match of the ongoing Test series as the visitors trail 2-1 in the series. In a must-win situation, the fourth Test starting on Wednesday (July 23) should be a treat to the fans while India search for a maiden red-ball win at Old Trafford in Manchester. However, the venue was the epicentre for one of India’s recent heartbreaks, having been eliminated in the semifinal of the ODI World Cup.&nbsp;<h2>When New Zealand broke Indian hearts</h2>Playing at Old Trafford in Manchester on 9 July 2019, India needed a win to book their place in the final of the ODI World Cup. In fluent form throughout the tournament, the Men in Blue had lost only one match before New Zealand in the last four, meaning the confidence was high in the camp to book a place in the final under Virat Kohli’s captaincy.

Team India will lock horns with England in the fourth Test match of the ongoing Test series as the visitors trail 2-1 in the series.

When New Zealand broke Indian hearts Playing at Old Trafford in Manchester on 9 July 2019, India needed a win to book their place in the final of the ODI World Cup. In fluent form throughout the tournament, the Men in Blue had lost only one match before New Zealand in the last four, meaning the confidence was high in the camp to book a place in the final under Virat Kohli’s captaincy. However, what unfolded was a shared heartbreak for Kohli and Co as they were eliminated in a brutal contest lasting over two days, with rain playing a crucial role.

Manchester Flashback: When New Zealand broke billion Indian hearts at Old Trafford in 2019 ODI World Cup

Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has backed Washington Sundar to excel in all three formats as he heaped praise on the all-rounder ahead of the Manchester Test starting on Wednesday (July 23). Sundar has been one of the unsung heroes of the Indian side and is considered Ravichandran Ashwin’s replacement. According to Shastri, he has the potential to be an all-format star with age on his side.<h2>Shastri backs Sundar to excel</h2>"He again is just 25 years of age. I think he should have played a lot more Test cricket," Shastri said.&nbsp;"Can be lethal in India on tracks where the ball is turning, as New Zealand found out when they played against India. (during NZ's tour of India in 2024, where he was the joint top wicket taker, picking 16 wickets in four innings). He out-bowled some of the senior spinners. He bowled that well and he can bat."&nbsp;After Ravi Ashwin’s retirement during the Australia series in December, Sundar has been an automatic choice in the side. He has so far represented India in 11 Tests, 23 ODIs and 54 T20Is, bagging more than 100 wickets for the nation. He has also contributed with the bat, having scored over 1000 runs.&nbsp;&nbsp;So far on the England tour, Sundar has a modest return of 42, 12*, 23 and 0 with the bat, and five wickets with the ball-they have still highlighted his all-round utility.&nbsp;ALSO READ | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ind-vs-eng-2025-4th-test-england-name-playing-xi-for-manchester-make-one-change-liam-dawson-1753112937013">IND vs ENG 2025: England name playing XI for Manchester Test, make one change</a><h2>India ready to level series?</h2>Having lost two close contests in the series already, the Indian team will take plenty of heart going into the fourth Test.

IND vs ENG: All you need to know about Team India's Test record at Old Trafford

Harbhajan Singh and Ravichandran Ashwin are two of the greatest off-spinners, let alone from India. While one played against perhaps the toughest modern-day batters, the other is among the top ten highest wicket takers in Tests. Each scaled heights like none could and won accolades in abundance. However, rumours of an unsaid bitterness or jealousy between the two that unfolded during the captaincy transition from MS Dhoni to Virat Kohli made headlines back in the day.

England named its playing XI for the fourth Test against India at Old Trafford in Manchester starting Wednesday (Jul 23). The hosts have made just one change to their side that won the previous game at the Lord’s by 22 runs. Despite a lacklustre show from its top order in the past two matches, England backed the under-fire pair of Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley, with Ollie Pope retaining his number three spot. While rookie all-rounder Jacob Bethell continues to wait for his turn, England has recalled left-arm orthodox Liam Dawson in place of injured Shoaib Bashir for the fourth Test. Dawson returns to the Test side for the first time in eight years, having last featured against South Africa in a Test in 2017.

England batsman Harry Brook has warned India that his team "don't always have to be nice" as they prepare to resume hostilities at Old Trafford on Wednesday (Jul 23). After England battled to a fiery 22-run victory in the third Test at Lord's, the teams will lock horns again with the series on the line in Manchester. An England win would put them 3-1 up with one game to play, while India must take the last two matches to secure their first Test series triumph on English soil since 2007.&nbsp;It promises to be another fiercely-fought encounter after India's fielders clashed with England batsmen Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett in a time-wasting row at Lord's.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ind-vs-eng-2025-sai-sudharsan-shardul-thakur-dhruv-jurel-in-fray-for-comeback-as-india-prepare-for-manchester-test-report-1753110167883">IND vs ENG 2025: Sudharsan, Thakur, Jurel in fray for comeback as India prepare for Manchester Test - Report</a>&nbsp;That lit a fire under England when it was their turn to field, with Jofra Archer giving a pumped-up send-off to India's Rishabh Pant.&nbsp;As the tension mounted in England's 22-run win, Brydon Carse and India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja were involved in a mid-pitch collision.

It was good fun, I have to admit, it was tiring, but it made fielding a lot more enjoyable," he said on Monday. "I think it put them under a little bit more pressure. The opportunity that arose for us to not be the nice guys was because of what they did. We just thought 'we're not standing for that.'&nbsp;"We had a conversation and said 'it's time to not be those nice guys that we have been before'. You don't always have to be nice.

We'll see whether it happens again and whether it works.&nbsp;"We were just putting them under more pressure. Baz (McCullum) actually said a few days before that we are too nice sometimes.&nbsp;“I brought it up the night before the last day: 'Baz said the other day we're too nice, I think tomorrow is a perfect opportunity to really get stuck into them'.”&nbsp;Disclaimer: This story has been published from a news agency feed with minimal edits to adhere to WION's style guide.

The opportunity that arose for us to not be the nice guys was because of what they did. We just thought 'we're not standing for that.' "We had a conversation and said 'it's time to not be those nice guys that we have been before'. You don't always have to be nice. Who knows, that might have played into our favour. It was good fun. "We were doing it within the spirit of the game. We weren't going out there effing and jeffing at them and being nasty people. We were just going about it in the right manner." India pace bowler Mohammed Siraj was fined 15 per cent of his match fee and given one demerit point for his angry send-off of Duckett during England's second innings, which ended with the pair brushing shoulders. Brook revealed it was at his urging after some choice words from head coach Brendon McCullum that they decided to fight back. Asked whether that aggressive approach will continue as England look to win the series, Brook said: "God knows. We'll see whether it happens again and whether it works. "We were just putting them under more pressure. Baz (McCullum) actually said a few days before that we are too nice sometimes. “I brought it up the night before the last day: 'Baz said the other day we're too nice, I think tomorrow is a perfect opportunity to really get stuck into them'.” Disclaimer: This story has been published from a news agency feed with minimal edits to adhere to WION's style guide.

As the tension mounted in England's 22-run win, Brydon Carse and India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja were involved in a mid-pitch collision. But Brook is adamant Ben Stokes' side did not go too far with their spikey approach in pursuit of victory.

IND vs ENG: England won't play nice against India, warns Brook ahead of Manchester Test

Team India could make a sea of changes to their playing XI for the fourth Test against England at Old Trafford in Manchester. Following injuries to seamers Arshdeep Singh and Akash Deep, all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy and keeper-batter Rishabh Pant, the visiting camp could make as many as three changes or even more to the side for their do-or-die game in this Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. As India trails (1-2) in this five-match series, they need to win the next game or ensure a draw to take it to the fifth Test at the Kia Oval. The latest reports suggest that Sai Sudharsan could make his comeback in the team.&nbsp;Ace quick <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ind-vs-eng-2025-jasprit-bumrah-to-play-in-manchester-test-mohammed-siraj-confirms-1753104950687">Jasprit Bumrah will play the fourth Test, as confirmed by his fellow seamer Mohammed Siraj</a> in the pre-game presser, while the management is closely monitoring two players, Akash Deep and Pant, before assembling the best XI for the Manchester Test. &nbsp;Rishabh Pant, who suffered a finger injury during the Lord’s Test, came through a training session that lasted over two hours, showing positive signs. On Monday (Jul 21), he went through keeping drills and batted comfortably in the nets. Although he is still not clear to keep wickets in the fourth Test, Dhruv Jurel remains an option as a specialist keeper for the fourth Test. &nbsp;On the other hand, following an untimely injury to all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy, who impressed all with his batting and part-time seam-bowling (in the Lord’s Test), Team India could play a specialist batter, Sai Sudharsan, in his place, boosting the batting order. In that case, India could afford to bench Washington Sundar and bring in Shardul Thakur, should the conditions warrant a fourth seamer instead of a proper second spinner.<h3>Team India sweats on Akash Deep’s injury &nbsp;</h3>Akash Deep, who helped India win the second Test in Birmingham with his maiden ten-wicket haul, is facing a test against time to get fitness clearance ahead of the Manchester game. Even though he bowled in the nets on Monday, more so under bowling coach Morne Morkel’s observation, the medical team and the decision-makers will further observe him for another two days before taking a final call on his team selection. &nbsp;Meanwhile, light showers are expected on days one, two and five in Manchester; and with Bumrah playing the fourth Test, the chances of him pushing for another game (regardless of the result) are also on the cards.
