19:10 IST: Beaten! Half-hearted appeal for a catch from the slip cordon. KL Rahul looked confident on that one but Shami is not convinced. Virat decides not to go for the review. Luck is favoring Alastair Cook today. Survives yet again. ENG 94-1 after 42.2 overs.

18:32 IST: Review from India! Original decision is not out. No shot offered from Moeen Ali but replay clearly shows that the impact was outside off-stump. The ball was going over the stumps as well. Poor review from Bumrah and Kohli. Moeen Ali survives again. ENG 70-1 after 33.2 overs.
18:23 IST: Dropped again! This time it's Virat Kohli at third slip who drops Moeen Ali on 2 runs. Jasprit Bumrah cannot believe it. It was a difficult catch but should have been taken. Slip catching has been sloppy from India today. Ali survives! ENG 68-1 after 31.2 overs.
18:20 IST: Dropped! Ajinkya Rahane drops Alaister Cook on 37. Ishant has nothing to say, walks back to his mark with disappointment. Rahane drops a straight forward catch in the gully region . ENG 68-1 after 30.5 overs.
18:17 IST: Beaten! Terrific out-swinger from Jasprit Bumrah to end the over. Moeen Ali had no idea about that one. Angled in delivery darts away after pitching. Maiden from Bumrah as well. ENG 68-1 after 30 overs.
18:12 IST: Maiden! Tight start from Ishant Sharma in the post-lunch session. Jasprit Bumrah will share the ball with Ishant from the other end. ENG 68-1 after 29 overs.

14:30 IST: Hello and welcome to the live match updates of day 1 of the 5th and final Test between India and England.
Openers Alastair Cook and Keaton Jennings gave the hosts a solid start as England ended the first session on Day 1 of the fifth Test at the Oval with 68 runs on the board for the loss of one wicket. England skipper Joe Root once again opted to bat first after Virat Kohli lost the toss for the fifth time in the series. The decision went exactly as planned for England as both openers provided the hosts with a brilliant start. Registering the first 50-run opening partnership of the series for England both Cook and Jennings played the Indian seamers beautifully during the first hour of the morning session. Post the drinks break, the openers were looking in control but Ravindra Jadeja (playing his first match of the series) claimed the wicket of Keaton Jennings for 23 runs providing India the much-needed breakthrough. Debutant Hanuma Vihari also bowled one over in the first session of the day. Opener Alastair Cook, who is playing his final Test was looking comfortable at the centre batting on 37Â alongside Moeen Ali (2) who was promoted to number three slot for the second time in three innings.
After winning the fourth Test at the Rose Bowl cricket ground in Southampton by 60 runs, England took and an unassailable 3-1 lead against India in the five-Test series. With the final Test scheduled to start from Friday in London, battered and bruised Team India will aim for a consolation win, ending the long tour on a positive note. A scoreline of 2-3 will definitely look much better than 1-4 as India will also look to spoil Alastair Cook's farewell party at Kennington Oval. Chief coach Ravi Shastri has tried to keep the morale of the team high by calling it the "best travelling side in last 15 years", something that is not corroborated by facts.
A statistical lowdown will show that India under Sourav Ganguly's leadership drawn Test series in England (2002) and Australia (2003-04) apart from winning a Test in West Indies (a team that had Brian Lara, Carl Hooper, Shivanarine Chanderpaul) and a series in Pakistan. Under Rahul Dravid, India won twin series in West Indies (2006) and England (2007) apart from winning a Test in South Africa. Under Anil Kumble, India won a Test match on a bouncy Perth for the first time while under Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the Indian team won a series in New Zealand and also for the only time drew a series in South Africa.Â
Having lost back to back overseas series in South Africa and England, the myth of being good travellers has been busted and they have not been able to convince that they are good enough to win a series outside sub-continent. Kohli-led side though has retained its number one Test ranking despite series' losses in both overseas tours in 2018 thus far. In this backdrop, Kohli's India will be playing a Test match where team combination will again come under focus. While they would want to play the best possible eleven, there is also a case for experimentation with the line-up. With Prithvi Shaw's inclusion in the Test squad, the Indian selectors are looking ahead to the next line of openers. And with Murali Vijay dropped, they need to firm up plans ahead as attention will soon turn to the tour of Australia in December.Â
A school of thought suggests that Shaw should be thrown into the deep end of the pool to ascertain if he can take on the pressure of facing the best bowlers international cricket has to offer. Even if he fails to get going in this one-off Test, at age 18, Shaw still has time to climb the ladder again. Meanwhile, any success on his part will provide an easy answer to the opening conundrum ahead of the Australian tour.
