During the fourth Test match between England and India at Old Trafford, several notable milestones were achieved. Indian batter KL Rahul reached 1,000 Test runs in England, becoming the fifth Indian to do so after Sachin Tendulkar (1,575), Rahul Dravid (1,376), Sunil Gavaskar (1,152), and Virat Kohli (1,096). India posted a first innings total of 358 runs, with Rishabh Pant playing a resilient innings despite an injury scare and scoring a fighting fifty. England responded strongly, with Joe Root scoring his 38th Test century, placing him joint fourth on the all-time list alongside Kumar Sangakkara and surpassing Rahul Dravid, Jacques Kallis, and Ricky Ponting. Root's performance helped England take a 186-run lead. Ben Stokes also made history by scoring his 14th Test century, his first in over two years, and became the first English captain to take a five-wicket haul and complete a century in the same Test match. Stokes joined an elite group of all-rounders including Garfield Sobers and Jacques Kallis. England declared their innings at 669 runs, the highest ever Test total recorded at Old Trafford. The match has seen significant individual achievements and strong performances from England's top order, while India struggled with their bowling on Day 3.
