4th Test: No Surprise Two Wickets Fell Early, Long Way Back For India Now, Says Atherton

By IANS News July 26, 2025 • 19:01 PM View: 443

Former England captain Michael Atherton believes it’s now a long way back for India in the ongoing fourth Test at Old Trafford, adding that he didn’t feel surprised over the visitors’ losing two wickets early before lunch break on day four.

Veteran all-rounder Chris Woakes took out Yashasvi Jaiswal and B Sai Sudharsan for ducks to leave India in trouble at 1/2 in three overs. They still trail England by more than 300 runs and need something huge to take the Test to the final day.
