India's trade deal with Britain is a sign of New Delhi's new gradual shift to opening up its markets while shielding crucial sectors from competition and could be its template for future agreements, government officials and analysts said on Friday.

India cricket star Rishabh Pant has made an unexpected return in the fourth test against England after fears he would be ruled out of the Manchester match with a foot injury

Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett both fall just short of scoring a century after being caught late on day two of the fourth Test against India at Old Trafford as England close on 225-2, leaving them 133 runs behind India's first innings score of 358.

England decimated the Indian bowlers to quickly go past 200 after bowling out the visitors for 358 on the second day of fourth Test in Manchester on Thursday.

England 's openers alone took a massive bite out of India's total of 358 as Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley put on a 166-run stand at 5.18 runs an over. It was accidental Bazball though. Neither of them was really looking to score quickly but they were given no choice in the matter by a bowling performance so error prone that packaging it as a highlights reel would be a missed opportunity.
