India all-rounder Washington Sundar brought up his half-century in style on Day 5 of the fourth Test against England in the ongoing Manchester Test on Sunday, July 27. The left-hander smashed England captain Ben Stokes for six and four to bring up his fifty in 117 deliveries.
Sundar went all guns blazing against Stokes in the 112th over of India’s second innings. Stokes bowled a short-length ball, and the batter welcomed him in the over with a maximum behind square. He then pulled a short length ball towards the same region for a boundary. There was a big smile on his face as the tourists reduced their deficit to just three runs with back-to-back boundaries.

Half-centuries from Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja helped India fight back against England in the fourth Test. The duo has added an unbeaten 100-run partnership for the fifth wicket.
