Jadeja, Sundar score valiant centuries to help India draw Manchester Test against England
India kept the series hope alive by managing a sensational draw against England in Manchester in the fourth Test match of the ongoing series on Sunday.
India can only manage a series draw by winning the last Test match against the hosts.
England is currently leading the series 2-1.
Fighting desperately to deny England a win and helping Ben Stokes and his men to clinch the series 3-1, Indian batsmen, especially Washington Sundar (101*) and Ravindra Jadeja (107*), added 203 unbroken partnership to keep a slim ray of hope alive for India to level the series.
Jadeja, who was dropped on the very first ball he faced, did not give a chance to England to bounce back into the game.
Skipper Shubman Gill continued his strong form in the series and hammered a masterclass 103 runs knock.
With 89 runs behind and more than two sessions to play, Indians batsmen had a tough challenge to face on the fifth and final day.
The tourists, at the end of the match which ended without a result, after playing five sessions, managed to scored 425-4.
Apart from Gill, India only lost the wicket of KL Rahul on Sunday. He scored 90.
Chris Woakes picked up two wickets for England.
