IND vs ENG London Weather: The fifth and final Test between India and England enters a crucial fourth day at The Oval after three action-packed days at the Kennington Oval.
With the series hanging delicately at 2-1 in England’s favour, Day 4 of the crucial Test could witness two outcomes: India scripting a series-levelling comeback or handing a 3-1 triumph for the hosts.
After Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna laid a solid foundation on Day 2 with their solid bowling masterclass, India’s batters marshalled grit and skill to build on the momentum.
Yashasvi Jaiswal slammed a gutsy hundred on a tough pitch before Washington Sundar’s whirlwind fifty allowed India to set a record 374-run target for England. The biggest surprise of the day came courtesy of nightwatchman Akash Deep, who hammered 66 runs off 94 balls with a breathtaking, vigorous counter that caught the English bowlers off guard.
At stumps, England were 50 for one loss in 13.5 overs with Mohammed Siraj castling Zak Crawley with a yorker at the stroke of stumps.
The silver lining on Day 3 was undoubtedly the weather, after the first two days were often interrupted by rain. Now, the big looming question is whether the clear skies will persist on Day 4.
