Final innings drama between England and India at The Oval
The final day at The Oval was a rollercoaster that had fans on the edge of their seats. India had posted 224 in the first innings, to which England replied with 247, a slight lead. But it was India’s commanding 396 in the second innings, powered by Yashasvi Jaiswal’s 118 and contributions from Akash Deep (66), Ravindra Jadeja (53), and Washington Sundar (53), that set a challenging target of 374 for England.
England’s chase began steadily with Zak Crawley scoring 14 and Ben Duckett 54, followed by resilient centuries from Joe Root (105) and Harry Brook (111) that threatened to derail India’s chances. Yet, as the match reached its crescendo, Indian bowlers staged a comeback. Krishna and Siraj struck crucial blows, including the dismissals of Brook and Root. The scoreboard pressure mounted until Siraj’s final perfect yorker ended the thrilling contest.
India’s victory by a mere six runs—the closest margin for them in Test cricket—was a demonstration of perseverance and team spirit. This win allowed India to level the series, retaining the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, and etching this Test among the most memorable in recent cricket history.
