India vs England Highlights, 5th Test Day 5: England Beat India By 118 Runs, Clinch Series 4-1
Highlights India vs England: England defeated India by 118 runs on the final day of the Oval Test to clinch the 5-match Test series 4-1.
Leg spinner Adil Rashid dismissed well-set KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant in consecutive overs in the final session as England registered a thumping 118-run win against India in the final Test at the Oval in London. With the victory, England also clinched the 5-match Test series 4-1 giving their opener Alastair Cook a well-deserved farewell gift. Along with Cook, the series also ended on a high note for fast bowler James Anderson as he became the highest wicket taker in Test cricket among the fast bowlers. Anderson surpassed Glenn McGrath's tally of 563 wickets taking the final wicket of the match. After a superb second session on the final day, it seemed that Rahul and Pant were looking for an unlikely Test win. The duo registered a brilliant 204-run partnership between them as India looked confident in their massive run-chase of 464 runs. But Adil Rashid, in the final session of the Test, dismissed Rahul on the score of 149 providing his team with the much needed breakthrough. In his very next over, Rashid dismissed Pant for 114 ending India's hopes of an almost impossible win. Post Pant's departure, England took the second new ball straightaway. Sam Curran dismissed Ishant Sharma and Ravindra Jadega in quick succession. James Anderson placed the final nail in the coffin for India cleaning up Mohammed Shami for a duck. (SCORECARD)

A huge 204-run partnership broken, is this the opening England were looking for?
That turned a country mile!

14:45Â IST: Hello and welcome to the live match updates of Day 5 of the 5th and final Test between India and England.
Deflated after fielding for over 112 overs, India's wobbly top-order once again faltered with Shikhar Dhawan (1), Cheteshwar Pujara (0) and Virat Kohli (0) dismissed in quick succession with day end score being 58 for three. With 406 runs required on the final day and seven wickets in hand, an embarrassing 1-4 series defeat looks imminent for India as of now. The wily Jimmy Anderson (2/23) equalled Glenn McGrath's 563 Test wickets and is expected to break the record on Tuesday while Stuart Broad (1/17) with 433 wickets is just one short of Kapil Dev's (434 wickets).
Dhawan's poor technique was once again exposed as he was adjudged plumb leg before to an incoming delivery from Anderson. Ditto for Pujara, who got a sharp incutter that breached his defence. He wanted a DRS but was late in appealing for one. Skipper Virat Kohli after a tremendous English summer where he scored 593 runs finally got out for a duck as he nicked one off Broad to Jonny Bairstow, leaving India in tatters. KL Rahul (46 batting) batted in cavalier fashion hitting eight boundaries in the company of Ajinkya Rahane (10 batting).
However, the day certainly belonged to Cook, who scored his 33rd hundred his last appearance to join a select band of players having scored a hundred on debut and final Test. He is fifth in the list after Reginal Duff, Bill Ponsford, Greg Chappell and Mohammed Azharuddin.His 286-ball knock had 14 boundaries and it certainly overshadowed Cook's 190 ball effort that had 12 fours and a six. Their partnership literally killed the contest after Ishant Sharma's ankle injury had pegged India further back. In the post-lunch session, the duo looked to build on their partnership and further frustrate the Indian bowlers, bringing up their 200-stand off 303 balls.
Root, on 94, got a second life as Cheteshwar Pujara dropped him at first slip off Mohammed Shami (2-97) in the 77th over. He then went on to score his 14th Test hundred off 151 balls. Thereafter, Root started attacking as England crossed 300 in the 88th over. India were a bowler short with Ishant leaving the field due to ankle pain.
