[WATCH]- Jofra Archer Removes Shubman Gill After His Stunning Century

England’s pace spearhead Jofra Archer struck a crucial blow just before lunch on Day 5 of the fourth Test in Manchester, dismissing Indian captain Shubman Gill. Archer induced an edge as Gill attempted a loose cut shot, and wicketkeeper Jamie Smith completed a straightforward catch behind the stumps.

Gill, who scored a patient 103 off 238 deliveries with 12 boundaries, shared a vital 188-run stand with KL Rahul (90) for the third wicket, helping India recover after a 311-run deficit. The breakthrough came in the 88th over of the innings, just one over before the lunch break.

Archer delivered a short-of-length delivery outside off stump that moved away after pitching. Gill, perhaps distracted by the approaching interval, went after it with an indecisive stroke and paid the price. After his dismissal, he received a warm ovation from the crowd in recognition of his gritty century as he made his way back to the pavilion.

Gill And Rahul Fall As England Stage A Comeback

Captain Ben Stokes and pacer Jofra Archer struck crucial blows by removing Shubman Gill and KL Rahul after their massive 188-run stand, helping England regain momentum in the fourth Test against India. Their breakthroughs came after India had suffered a dramatic collapse at the start of their second innings, losing Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudharsan for ducks in the opening over.

At the lunch break on Day 5, India stood at 223/4, still trailing by 88 runs, with Washington Sundar (21 off 61) and Ravindra Jadeja (0 off 4) at the crease. Chris Woakes was the standout performer with the ball, claiming two wickets. India posted 358 in their first innings, and England responded with 669, powered by centuries from Joe Root (150) and Ben Stokes (141).

Stokes also made a big impact with the ball, picking up five wickets in India’s first innings. England currently lead the five-match series 2-1, and a victory here would secure the series win.
