England's Ben Stokes reacts to India's refusal

• India refused to propose to host the match in the evening.
• Stokes and England were criticized for their reaction.
• The final test will take place from July 31 to August 4.

In the fourth test between England and India, which took place at the "Emirates Old Trafford" stadium, the Indian team showed an impressive game, finishing the match in the evening. Regardless of the proposal from England's Ben Stokes to host a night result after 15 overs to the end, the Indian players, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar, refused, trying to achieve their own milestones.

Both players demonstrated a remarkable game, finishing their performances with 101 and 107 runs respectively. This became the reason for the disappointment from the English players, who, in particular, expressed their disappointment with words and behavior on the field.

Criticism regarding Stokes' reaction to India's refusal was voiced by some former players, including Sanjay Manjrekar, who called his reaction "captain's childishness." However, former England player Kevin Pietersen defended Stokes, stating that his reaction was understandable, especially since there had been no result after two days of play.

Meanwhile, former Australian trainer Justin Langer suggested that India deserved the opportunity to continue playing to achieve their milestones. "This indicates that the test cricket still has its own unique character," he added.

This incident added tension between the teams ahead of the fifth and final test, which starts on July 31 at the "Kia Oval." England leads the series 2-1, and India can no longer win the series; they can only level the score if they win the last match.
