England v India 2025- Test Match Series

Malcolm Marshall batted one handed after he had broken his thumb in 2 places, he even managed to cut Paul Allott for a boundary, his left hand in a plaster cast, before he was dismissed by the same bowler from a one handed Botham slip catch he had managed to help Larry Gomes to a century would had looked to be stranded on 96 when the ninth wicket Fell.
Marshall then took 7 wickets in the next innings and West Indies went on the win the match.

Lets hope that Woakes won't be needed.
Disappointed at Bethell in the situation, he needed to get in before starting to play rash shots.

It feels like the match is slipping away for England, they've added 15 runs but lost 2 wickets.

Although I'm disappointed, on reflection India have been on top for large parts of the series, & England are fortunate to draw the series 2-2.

A brave effort from Woakes, who didn't have to face a ball but ran a two & a couple of singles in obvious pain & discomfort.
