India Pushes Series-Levelling Win Against England At Oval Test

The fifth and final Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test between India and England at The Oval has reached a thrilling climax, with India needing just eight more wickets to level the series 2-2. India posted a formidable second innings total of 396, highlighted by Yashasvi Jaiswal's 118 and nightwatchman Akash Deep's career-best 66, the first Indian nightwatchman to score a Test fifty in England since 2011. England's bowlers, including Josh Tongue with five wickets, and Gus Atkinson with multiple key dismissals, fought back but struggled with dropped catches and the absence of Chris Woakes. England began their chase of a challenging 374 runs with an opening stand of 50/1 by stumps on Day 4, but India's bowlers, led by Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna, remain poised to capitalize on the variable bounce and overcast conditions. The match has been marked by intense moments, including heated exchanges between players, but both teams have shown resilience, setting up a pivotal conclusion to this closely contested series. Cricket fans anticipate an electrifying finish as England attempts a record-breaking chase against a strong Indian bowling attack.
