England will "wait and see" whether captain Ben Stokes is fit enough to bowl when they push for victory over India on the final day of the fourth Test at Old Trafford, says assistant coach Marcus Trescothick.

After taking five wickets in the first innings, Stokes did not bowl as India dug in to reach 174-2 at the end of day four, still 137 runs behind.

Trescothick said that was because Stokes, who has been dogged by injury issues in recent years and had to retire hurt while batting with cramp on day three, was "a bit stiff and sore".

"We are still hopeful he will be better tomorrow and come back out, be a bit looser and ready to go again," Trescothick told BBC Test Match Special.

India head coach Gautam Gambhir has been involved in a confrontation with Surrey ground staff during a training session before Thursday's fifth and final Test against England at The Oval.

Video footage from the net session shows Gambhir pointing his finger at Lee Fortis, Surrey's head of ground staff, and the India coach can be heard shouting "you can't tell us what to do".

Speaking in a news conference afterwards, India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak - who was present during the incident - said the coaches were inspecting the wicket for the Test, and were asked to move away.

What did people make of Stokes and Englands behaviour at the end of the fourth test?

Brook to go on and get a match winning innings?

Brook out in bizarre fashion. 72 needed.

An early finish today gives us yet another twist in the last match of an extraordinary series. England need 35 runs; India need four wickets. What are the odds on a tie?

How does it end up as a tie?

Really enjoyed the game this weekend, looked all India’s until the unbelievable Root again standing up to be counted!

It will be a tie if England add 34, then lose their last wicket.

It's been an outstanding series, the early finish to today's play probably favours England as India had the upper hand when the rain came. It will be interesting to see if they try to hit a few fours to get the job done quickly or be more cautious and look for singles here and there.

Unfortunately not to be for England. India levelled the series.

Now, we move to The Hundred....

Yes, that was a tense finish. England messed things up yesterday after being in a good position to win the match.

Great end to a great series. Shocked India won, looking forward to watching the highlights later.

It was rather tense updating Cricinfo regularly here in France before I headed for the beach.

Was a great Test series, probably as good a series as I can remember outside of the Ashes. I've been really engaged throughout - thought across the series a draw was probbaly the fair result. England got unlucky, but test cricket can also be a game of seriously fine margins. That lower middle order is just so flimsy and inexperienced at the moment. The one thing I don't like about The Hundred is we fit all the test cricket in over a shorter period and I really do think it benefits with a break for the players to rest and mentally rejuvinate.

Special word for Root - what a batter. Over to Aussies now for what will be an incredibly tough series.

Jonny Bairstow's astonishing unbeaten 86 from 50 balls was in vain as London Spirit edged a tense eight-run win over Welsh Fire in The Hundred.

Fire needed 31 from the final 10 balls and Bairstow hit back-to-back sixes off England's Jamie Overton to keep his side within touching distance, but seamer Luke Wood held his nerve to close out the win from the last set of five at Sophia Gardens.

The hosts were left to rue a top-order collapse to 55-6 - including Australia star Steve Smith falling for just three - as Bairstow was starved of the strike, facing just 18 of the first 50 balls of their pursuit of 164 to win.

Chris Green contributed 32 not out from 21 balls in a stunning partnership of 100 from just 53 balls with Bairstow, who whacked six fours and six sixes in his destructive knock.

London Spirit edged past Welsh Fire in a rematch of the 2024 final as they claimed a thrilling two-run win off the last ball at Sophia Gardens.

With seven needed from the last five balls and three from the final ball in Fire's pursuit of 125, Australia's Grace Harris held her nerve as Georgia Elwiss was brilliantly caught by Spirit skipper Charlie Dean at mid-off.

Fire had been in control of their chase at 101-2, with England opener Sophia Dunkley striking 36 and Australia's Jess Jonassen making 29.

But Dunkley's dismissal with 19 balls remaining gifted Spirit momentum and Fire stuttered, with Dean's gamble with part-timer Harris to close out the game proving to be a masterstroke.

It was the second women's match of the day to be won by two runs off the final ball, with Manchester Originals earlier hanging on to beat Oval Invincibles by the same margin.

In the earlier women's game on Saturday at The Kia Oval, Manchester Originals also held their nerve to claim a dramatic win by the same margin over Oval Invincibles.

Having set the Invincibles 140 to win, with captain Beth Mooney hitting a fine 70 from 45 balls, the Originals took just three wickets but maintained their discipline as the match went down to the last ball.

The game swung one way then the other in the closing stages, culminating in the Invincibles needing four to win off the final ball.

But Originals all-rounder Deandra Dottin nailed her yorker and Marizanne Kapp could only dig it out for a single.
