India, England Set for Dramatic Test Series Finale

The fifth and final Test between India and England at The Oval is set for a dramatic conclusion, with England needing just 35 runs and India requiring three wickets for victory after rain and bad light ended the fourth day. England's Harry Brook (111) and Joe Root (105) forged a crucial 195-run partnership, but India struck back with quick wickets, leaving England at 339/6 and their injured bowler Chris Woakes unlikely to bat. Throughout the series, both sides have delivered compelling cricket, with every match going to a fifth day. India broke several records, equaling Australia's mark for most centuries in a series by a visiting team (12) and setting a new record for boundaries in a five-match series. Shubman Gill, serving as India's captain, amassed 754 runs and has been widely praised for his leadership. The Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy will be decided on the final day, with both teams still vying for victory.
