England benefited from an injury to India’s Rishabh Pant on a hard-fought opening day of the fourth Test at Old Trafford.<\/b><\/p>\n

Pant had scored 37 in an important stand with Sai Sudharsan when he attempted a reverse sweep at Chris Woakes and was struck on the right foot. After treatment on the field, Pant retired hurt.<\/p>\n

The recalled Sudharsan was making England pay for wicketkeeper Jamie Smith’s drop until he hooked Ben Stokes to long leg for 61.<\/p>\n

That left India 264-4 at the close, with the tourists waiting on the results of a scan on Pant’s injury.<\/a><\/p>\n

England are looking for the win that would seal the series, and captain Stokes took two important wickets after again choosing to field on winning a fourth successive toss.<\/p>\n

Under a near-constant cloudy sky and on a pitch that offered something throughout the day, India dug in – Yashasvi Jaiswal made a watchful 58, KL Rahul a typically correct 46.<\/p>\n

England were arguably a touch short with the new ball, then improved after lunch.<\/p>\n

Chris Woakes was rewarded for a fine spell by an edge off Rahul, left-arm spinner Liam Dawson struck with his seventh ball after eight years out of Test cricket to remove Jaiswal, and Stokes had opposing captain Shubman Gill lbw playing no stroke.<\/p>\n

Sudharsan was put down on 20 and rebuilt with Pant, whose exit was a breakthrough England desperately needed, albeit in unfortunate circumstances for the India wicketkeeper.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
