Yashasvi Jaiswal smashed a brilliant 127-ball century in the Oval Test, dominating England’s bowling with 11 fours and 2 sixes. His aggressive knock, paired with Akashdeep’s support, gave India control. Ending the series as he started—with a ton—Jaiswal proved his mettle under pressure.
Underdog Akashdeep stunned with his first Test fifty (66), sharing a 107-run stand with Jaiswal as India took a 166-run lead. His 12 fours and gritty batting gave India control in the 5th Test. Will England fight back?
The fifth and last match of the India vs England 5 match Test series is being played today at the Kennington Oval ground in London. England captain Ollie Pope has won the toss and decided to bowl first. This means that Shubman Gill has lost the fifth toss of the series in a row and India will bat first.
India had a tied game in Manchester, resulting in a dispute between England and India. Indian batsmen Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar declined England captain Ben Stokes’ suggestion to agree on a draw, leading to the match being announced as drawn. India’s coach Gautam Gambhir backed the decision and expressed disapproval of the England team.
Even before the Test series against England began, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli shocked fans by announcing their retirements from Test cricket. Now, ahead of the fourth Test, Kohli has made his presence felt in Manchester—not in person, but through a massive poster on the walls of Old Trafford Stadium.
The Indian team is trailing 2-1 in the ongoing five-match Test series against England. Hence this fourth Test is very important for India.
