England behave badly during India draw

England behave badly during India draw

Author: The Telegraph July 28, 2025 Duration: 46:52

England remain 2-1 up against India after the fourth Test at Old Trafford ended in a draw.


Jake, Nick and Will unpack all the action at Old Trafford including the controversy surrounding India's refusal to accept Ben Stokes' offer of a draw and England's questionable behaviour in the aftermath.


We ask what has happened with the pitches throughout this series and who is to blame.


Ben Stokes became just the fourth Englishman to take five wickets and score a hundred in the same Test match, but does he need to look after his body better ahead of the Ashes this winter?


Plus, we ask if Joe Root can surpass Sachin Tendulkar as the all-time leading run scorer in Test cricket and we field all your questions as usual!
