Another riveting day of Test cricket comes to an end, with victory possible for both sides on Day 4. England will back themselves to chase 370-odd once again, but India's pacers will leave no stone unturned to draw the series.

Do join us on NDTV Sports as we bring you the coverage of Day 4. Stay tuned for all the live and latest sports updates. Goodbye!

That wicket just gives India something to smile about heading back into the dressing room after a hard-fought day of cricket. When they come out tomorrow, they will need 9 more wickets to win the match. On the other hand, England will be encouraged by the start, and need 324 runs to clinch the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.

ENG 50/1 (13.5)

England need 324 runs to win, India need 9 wickets.

BOWLED! Mohammed Siraj, what a ball! Siraj ends the day by knocking over Zak Crawley's stumps! And that will be Stumps. Sets the field for a bouncer but delivers a superb yorker to take Crawley completely by surprise. What an end for India.

ENG 50/1 (13.5)

50 up for England. Crawley and Duckett continuing to bat out the final moments of Day 3. Crawley, especially, has played cautiously, and evaded the pressure created by the Indian pacers. Duckett has hit a few boundaries. One over left in the day.

ENG 50/0 (13)

Edged, 4! No gully in place and Duckett gets a boundary through the region, against the bowling of Siraj. Duckett and Crawley have given England the ideal start once again, and they've survived the first 10 overs without losing a wicket here.

ENG 42/0 (10)

Duckett gets 4! Fuller from Siraj and punched through the mid-off region by Duckett. Good timing, good placement from the left-handed opener. Third boundary of the innings for Duckett, and the first for him since the second over.

ENG 31/0 (7.3)

Mohammed Siraj introduced into the attack for the 8th over then. Starts off with a really good delivery, nipping back in at Duckett. Soft inside edge before hitting him on the pads. Siraj bowled an inspired 8-over spell of 3/35 in the first innings. Can he deliver India a wicket before Stumps?

IND 27/0 (7.1)

First Prasidh to Duckett, now Akash Deep to Crawley! Back-to-back maidens for Team India. Not something you see very often, but even this pair are opting for caution with not long left on Day 3. 

ENG 27/0 (7)

Right, a maiden over from Prasidh Krishna against the marauding pair of Crawley and Duckett. Not something you see very often. India have bowled a few really good deliveries at the batters with the new ball, but just haven't got the wicket they're craving for.

Only the fifth maiden over for Prasidh in the series. He has bowled 81 overs.

ENG 27/0 (6)

Snorter from Akash Deep. Brilliant bouncer, and Duckett somehow gets his bat out of the way. England's openers will play their natural game, but Akash Deep continues to probe and threaten.

ENG 16/0 (3)

Great shot from Crawley! Square-cut off the back foot and guided through the covers for 4. Third boundary of the England innings already, first one for Crawley. These two openers are not going to hold back. The sun is out, and these are excellent batting conditions.

ENG 14/0 (2.3)

Interesting tactic here from Shubman Gill. He has handed Prasidh Krishna, and not Mohammed Siraj, the new ball. Siraj bowled really well with a slightly older ball in the first innings. Maybe that is the thought process for Gill. 

Duckett, though, gets his first boundary. Nudged fine for 4. And then he picks up another boundary, this time through square-leg! 

ENG 10/0 (1.3)

Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett stitched a superb 92-run partnership in the first innings, and will be hoping to repeat those heroics again. Shubman Gill delivered a long team talk before to his boys in the huddle. Akash Deep takes the new ball. Crawley off the mark second ball with a drive through the covers.

ENG 1/0 (0.2)

Shubman Gill's India need to defend 373 to win this Test, draw the series and retain the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Will not be easy, given the improving conditions and England's power-packed batting. But after the way they bowled in the first innings, they have more than a good chance.

Take a bow, Washington Sundar. He executed that so well. 4 fours and 4 sixes, 46-ball 53 and a nearly 40 runs added for the last wicket. He has given a major boost to India's total, and ensured that this will surely be a challenging chase for the hosts.

India all out! Washington Sundar goes for another big shot, but this time he skies it. The England fielders nearly collide trying to take it, but Zak Crawley grabs it in the end. Josh Tongue grabs a fifer. India set England a target of 374.

IND 396 all out (88)

Stunning! 50 for Washington Sundar! Absolutely terrific shot over mid-wicket to get to the milestone in just 39 balls. 4 boundaries, 4 sixes. Punches the air in delight, gets a standing ovation from the dugout. One wicket left, what a knock this has been.

And he'll keep strike for another over!

IND 396/9 (87)

The boundaries keep coming! Washington is swinging hard here, and getting rewarded for his bold cricket. Two more boundaries, one through third man, and then a cracking shot through mid-wicket. This is some batting. Up to 46 in just 38 balls!

IND 389/9 (86.4)

Prasidh Krishna survives the final ball of another over. Poor delivery by Tongue, down the leg-side, and Prasidh just lets it go. Washington will get to face the start of another over. These are priceless runs for the final wicket for India.

IND 379/9 (86)

Washington Sundar! What a hit! Short from Tongue and helped away over deep square-leg once again by the left-hander. Two balls later, he does it again! Slams it over fine-leg. Three sixes in 5 balls for Washington Sundar. India's lead goes past 350.

IND 376/9 (85.3)

Washington Sundar goes big! Massive hit from the left-hander against Atkinson, over deep square-leg. Next ball, really alert running between the wickets from Sundar and Prasidh, and they scamper a single despite Sundar missing the ball. He keeps strike. India's lead -- 341.

IND 364/9 (85)

Siraj is gone! He lasts just three deliveries. Josh Tongue gets two wickets in one over, and India are now 9 wickets down. Up to Washington to add as much as possible now before the final wicket falls.

IND 357/9 (84)

India would massively benefit from a sturdy defence from Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj here. Siraj is out to bat first, and will surely give most of the strike to Washington Sundar. Batting out the rest of the session seems like a tall task for India, with nearly 2 hours still left to play.

IND 357/8 (83.3)

OUT! Ravindra Jadeja departs! Josh Tongue with a delivery outside off-stump, Jadeja swings his bat and caught at slip by Harry Brook. That's a cheap way to lose your wicket, and Jadeja appears devastated. India 8-down, and the final two tailenders must survive now.

IND 357/8 (83.2)

Washington Sundar hits his second boundary of the innings. The left-hander with a lofted shot through mid-wicket, and there's no fielder there to cut it off. The two all-rounders are once again starring for India.

IND 354/7 (81.3)

Fifth half-century of the series for Ravindra Jadeja! What an absolutely incredible series he has had with the bat. There comes the sword celebration once again. Mr. Reliable with the bat, all throughout the series. Gets there with a boundary through point. 350 also comes up for India.

IND 350/7 (81.2)

England have taken the second new ball, and Gus Atkinson is into the attack. Washington and Jadeja safely negotiate the first over with the new ball, as India's lead goes past 320. Crucial period in the fate of the Test.

IND 345/7 (81)

This is the first time ever that 3 Indian batters have scored more than 500 runs in a single Test series. Shubman Gill with 754, KL Rahul 532, and Jadeja 500 and counting. First time in history for India in Test cricket. They've been playing since 1932 -- 93 years!

Top shot from Jadeja! Short again from Overton, Jadeja pulls it with a lot of might. Hit really well, and beats the fielder in the deep to go for 4. Into the 40s goes Jadeja, and he's nearing yet another half-century.

IND 337/7 (79)

Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar at the crease then. The final two recognized batters in the Indian batting lineup. The heroes and centurions from Old Trafford. They must ensure that India bat out at least the entirety of this session.

IND 330/7 (78)

Jurel departs! LBW! Jamie Overton rewarded for the effort he's put in after Tea, and gets his second wicket of the innings. Just as India's lead goes beyond 300, Overton deals India a huge blow. 7 wickets down! Jurel departs for 34.

IND 323/7 (76.2)

Shubman Gill may have missed out on Sunil Gavaskar's record of the most runs by an Indian in a single Test series, but the legendary India opener has stated that he ranks Gill's series higher than his own.

Gavaskar: "I would go with Shubman Gill. He scored truckload of runs and also had captaincy pressure. Back then, I was the baby of the team. Even if I had failed, nobody would've given two hoots about it. So, don't look at those 20 runs, look at the impact."

Jurel and Jadeja continue to chip away, and some good news for them! The sun is out at Headingley. This should make for better batting conditions. India's lead is up to 297, with the total at 320.

IND 320/6 (75)

Jamie Overton bangs it short to Ravindra Jadeja who pulls without much control on the shot. This one takes a top edge and goes over the keeper's head and behind for 4 runs. Clear tactic here from Overton.

IND 318/6 (78.2)

Jacob Bethell has been re-introduced by Ollie Pope after Tea, with Joe Root given a break. Jamie Overton continuing from the other end. Jurel and Jadeja making a safety-first start to the session, no boundary in the first 3 overs after Tea.

IND 312/6 (74)

A pretty healthy lead for India at the moment, but they still need to get stuck in and bat for at least one or two sessions. Ravindra Jadeja and Dhruv Jurel are at the crease for India, and have taken India past 300 for the 8th time in the series.

IND 304/6 (71)

India lead England by 281 runs

Two boundaries in a row for Dhruv Jurel! The wicket-keeper batter getting into rhythm here with two excellent shots. First a cracking drive through the off-side, and then a pull shot gets him 4 more on the leg-side! India also cross 300 in the same over. And that will be Tea!

IND 304/6 (71)

Dhruv Jurel picks up his second boundary. Nicely timed, square of the wicket against Root. Back foot square-cut from the wicket-keeper, as we're into the extended part of the second session. 70 overs completed in the Indian innings, the lead is at 268.

IND 291/6 (70)

First boundary for Dhruv Jurel! Cut away by the wicket-keeper batter as he faces a short one outside off-stump from Gus Atkinson. He's taking his time to settle in to the crease. Got out after a start in the first innings, can he do better this time?

IND 282/6 (68)

Ravindra Jadeja survives! Toe-crushing yorker from Josh Tongue caught him on the front foot, and the umpire gave out. He goes up with the review, and it pays off. Impact is outside off-stump, and Jadeja remains not out. 

IND 278/6 (67)

With batting conditions being pretty decent, the pressure is still on the Indian lower middle-order to make big contributions. The lead is only 250, just 3 runs more than what England managed in the first innings. Jadeja, Jurel and Washington need to dig in for at least another couple of sessions after this one. A lead of 350-400 will be imperative for India.

OUT! Yashasvi Jaiswal's knock comes to an end. He tries the upper cut once again, but this time finds the fielder at deep point. Josh Tongue gets his second wicket of the game. Jaiswal out for 118, and takes in the ovation of the crowd with bat in the air as he walks off. Two more recognized batters left to come for India, the lead is 250!

IND 273/6 (64.2)

England captain Ollie Pope turns to spin for the second time today. Jacob Bethell bowled the first over of the day, but now Joe Root comes into the attack. England trying a different approach, with the ball now more than 60 overs old. 

And Root starts off with a maiden over!

IND 268/5 (62)

Ravindra Jadeja with another boundary, this time much more control on the shot. First two boundaries of his innings coming in the same over. Width offered by Overton and slapped through point for 4 by the all-rounder. 60 overs done, and India's lead up to 240.

IND 263/5 (60)

Edge off Ravindra Jadeja's bat, but it flies over the slip cordon for 4 runs. No chance for Joe Root at first slip. Risky stroke, but Jadeja gets the reward for it as well. India's lead now 236, and nearing the 250-run mark.

IND 259/5 (59.1)

Another catch goes down! Fifth one of the innings for England. Tough one-handed chance for Ben Duckett at leg-gully, but he cannot hold on. Overton executing the plan well, Jaiswal flicked it fine, but he survives for the third time today. Goes away for 4 as well.

IND 252/5 (57.4)

Free runs for India! Atkinson errs in his line, as the ball swings past Jadeja's leg-stump, past a diving Jamie Smith, and goes for 4. India's lead crosses 220. Time for drinks now, with just under an hour left in the session.

IND 246/5 (57)

Ravindra Jadeja, good timing! Overton pitches one wide outside off-stump, and Jadeja drives it well. Not enough power on it to go for 4, but the batters run three. Onus on Jadeja and Jaiswal to stitch a big partnership. India still have some batting to come, in the form of Jurel and Washington Sundar. They lead by 216, as it stands.

IND 239/5 (56)

Ravindra Jadeja out to bat. What a series it has been with the bat for him. Over 400 runs, including 4 fifties and a ton. Can he deliver one last big knock and extend this India lead massively? Risky shot on ball 1 through mid-wicket, good fielding from England saves 4. Jaiswal then slams a lovely cover drive for 4!

IND 234/5 (55)

OUT! Gus Atkinson gets the wicket of Karun Nair. Surprises the batter with a short delivery, Nair can't get his bat out of the way, and it's collected by Jamie Smith behind the stumps. India lose their fifth wicket, and another in a crucial juncture.

IND 229/5 (54.3)

Karun Nair with another boundary! Plays it on the up, against Atkinson. Punched square of the wicket, off the back foot, and there's no fielder there. Nair has made 17 in 31 balls now, and is slowly reaping the rewards of his patience.

IND 229/4 (54.2)

India's lead is up to 200. Karun Nair has been troubled by Atkinson and Tongue, but he is surviving well here, picking up the odd boundary through fine-leg. Another edged shot towards the off-side, and the batters pick up two to increase the lead to 200.

IND 223/4 (52.2)

Hundred for Yashasvi Jaiswal! Well earned, young man. Second one of the series for the 23-year-old, he gets there with a quick single to the off-side. Just 127 balls to get to the milestone. Jumps up in delight. He's gotten a couple of lifelines thanks to dropped catches, but he set the tone with his bold batting yesterday. Largely faultless today.

IND 212/4 (50.2)

50 overs completed in the Indian second innings. A much better batting performance than what they put up on Day 1. Still 6 wickets in hand, with a lot of batting to come. A lead of 186 runs, as it stands.

IND 209/4 (50)

First boundary for Karun Nair! Short of a length from Atkinson, nudged fine by Karun and it runs away for 4. He scored a good fifty in a crucial juncture during the first innings, can he repeat his heroics once again?

IND 205/4 (49)

Into the nineties! Yashasvi Jaiswal with a strong square cut on the back foot, gets 4 runs against Josh Tongue. Takes a single after that, and 200 is up for India. Jaiswal up to 94 and one hit away from his 6th Test ton.

IND 200/4 (68)

Former India Test captain and current ODI captain Rohit Sharma is at The Oval today, watching along this decisive day of Test cricket. Have a look:

Hitman is in the house!

— Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) August 2, 2025

Massive pressure now on India. They're still in a good position, but they need to survive this nervy period after Lunch. Jaiswal still batting on 85, while Karun Nair has made a cautious start at the other end. 

IND 192/4 (46)

Sunil Gavaskar holds the record of the most runs by an Indian batter in a Test series, having made 774 in his debut series against West Indies. Shubman Gill looked in prime position to beat it, but he has missed out. He ends the series on 754, the second-highest by an Indian ever.

GONE! Indian captain Shubman Gill is gone on the first ball after Lunch! Disaster for Team India. Gus Atkinson traps Gill on the pads, and the umpire raises his finger. Gill takes the review, but hawkeye shows three reds. What a start for England!

IND 189/4 (44.1)

We are about to get going for the post-Lunch session on Day 3 of the fifth Test at The Oval. India have a healthy lead of 166 runs, and two of their best batters at the crease with Jaiswal and Gill. Let's see how this session pans out!

IND 189/3 (44)

Akash Deep has joined Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill in a special list of Indian batters to score a half-century at England in the 21st century while coming to bat at No. 4. Special company for India's heroic night watchman.

Lunch on Day 3! A session that has gone India's way completely, and thanks to the unlikeliest of heroes. Night watchman Akash Deep, promoted to No. 4, struck a flamboyant half-century -- the first of his Test career -- and has led India to a 166-run lead. Jaiswal is nearing a century at one end, and captain Shubman Gill is at the other.

IND 189/3 (44)

India lead England by 166 runs

Shubman Gill with a lovely cover drive against Josh Tongue! The Indian captain beginning his innings with two graceful strokes. He ends the session on 11. Gill is now just 21 runs away from becoming the Indian with the most runs in a single Test series.

IND 189/3 (44)

FOUR! First boundary for the Indian captain, who has come out to bat after Akash Deep's dismissal. Lovely drive square of the wicket as he receives a ball outside off-stump. Two frontline batters at the crease for India now.

IND 181/3 (43)

OUT! Finally, England get the wicket of Akash Deep. The night watchman tried to nudge it onto the leg-side, but the uneven bounce causes an outside edge, and it flies up in the air. Good catch taken by Gus Atkinson. Akash Deep departs for 66, gets a standing ovation from his team and The Oval crowd.

IND 177/3 (42.1)

Akash Deep riding his luck now! 4 more, past a diving gully. Akash Deep brings out the drive against Tongue, but the edge flies away for 4 once again. 100-run partnership up between Akash Deep and Yashasvi Jaiswal.

IND 172/2 (41.2)

4 byes now! The runs keep flowing for India. Overton delivers one sliding down the leg-side. No bat on it from Akash Deep, but wicket-keeper Jamie Smith still can't stop it from running behind. Misery continues for England.

IND 167/2 (41)

Akash Deep gets 4 more! The night watchman shows no signs of stopping, and Jamie Overton has really not enjoyed a good day with the ball. Gets an outside edge out of Akash, but the ball still zooms past the slips for 4. Highest first-class score for Akash Deep, goes past his previous best of 53*.

IND 163/2 (40.4)

Right then, focus now shifts slightly to Yashasvi Jaiswal. The southpaw resumed on 51 today, and has quietly chipped away and now stands on 83. Akash Deep's fearless batting has almost put Jaiswal's knock under the radar, but a third century of the series for the left-hander is not far away now.

IND 159/2 (40.1)

Maiden career Test 50 for Akash Deep! Take a bow! What knock this has been, and he gets there with another boundary through square-leg. Punches the air in delight, and the entire Indian dressing room is up on its feet. Just 70 balls to get there, 9 fours in there.

IND 154/2 (38)

Into the forties! Akash Deep with a lovely square cut that runs away between gully and point for 4. He goes up to 43 now, and that first Test half-century will surely be in his mind by now. Two balls later, Akash Deep slams an upper cut square for 4 more! 47! 150 up for India.

IND 150/2 (36)

Yashasvi Jaiswal is picking his gaps really well. Finds the space past the slip cordon and gets 4 more through third man. Jaiswal has continued finding the odd boundaries, and Akash Deep's batting has meant that he hasn't felt any pressure. Nearing 80 now.

IND 139/2 (34)

Gus Atkinson back into the attack and Akash Deep launches it through mid-wicket with venom! Terrific hit, right off the middle of the blade, and nearly goes for a maximum. Genuinely excellent batting from Akash Deep today. Next ball, it's a textbook nudge to the covers for a single.

IND 134/2 (33.2)

Akash Deep has not only survived the first hour on Day 3, he has impressed hugely with the bat. Through mid-wicket, punch through the covers, guide past third-man -- he's brought out every shot in the textbook. He stands on 32 off 50 balls, and is nearing an unprecedented first Test half-century.

IND 127/2 (32)

Akash Deep notches up his highest Test score. He crosses the 31 he made against Australia in the 2024/25 BGT. Five boundaries in his knock so far, and he's looked extremely comfortable against all types of bowling. 

Meanwhile, India's lead crosses 100 too!

IND 126/2 (31)

Who would've seen this coming? Yashasvi Jaiswal and Akash Deep have completed a 50-run partnership, and it has been the night watchman who has contributed 29 of those runs! India's lead nearing 100 as well.

IND 121/2 (29.3)

Once again, the upper cut! Yashasvi Jaiswal has played that shot with great effect in this innings, and he gets 4 more runs with it again. Jaiswal into the 70s now, and will be eyeing up his third century of the series.

IND 118/2 (28.4)

England's stand-in captain Ollie Pope is off the field. He has just been shown chatting to head coach Brendon McCullum, discussing something. In Ben Stokes' absence, Pope has had a roller-coaster Test match to deal with, and Akash Deep's aggressive batting has certainly left England on the back foot.

IND 113/2 (28)

The boundaries keep coming for Akash Deep! Fifth four for India's stand-in No. 4. Ball down the leg-side, and flicked away fine for a boundary. Akash Deep is just 5 runs away now from his highest Test score of 31 now.

IND 111/2 (27.3)

Oh dear! The catching continues to haunt England in this innings. Zak Crawley has put another one down in the slip cordon. This was going at a good height, should've been taken. Akash Deep survives once again.

IND 105/2 (26)

Fine margins, but Akash Deep survives a close DRS call. Trapped on the pads by Tongue, the appeal was loud from England but the umpire said not out. England go up with a DRS review. But hawkeye says 'umpire's call', and Akash Deep is safe.

IND 105/2 (25.2)

100 up for India! It's taken them just 20 minutes to get to the three-figure mark today, and a lot of it is down to some aggressive batting from night watchman Akash Deep. Not many can say they're batting more aggressively than Yashasvi Jaiswal, but right now, that's exactly what Akash Deep is doing.

IND 101/2 (23)

That is excellent batting from Akash Deep. Tongue bowls one outside off-stump, and Akash Deep gently guides it away through third-man for his third boundary of the day! The tailender has already exceeded expectations here. Akash Deep is giving 'Bazball' a taste of their own medicine!

IND 97/2 (22)

First boundary of the day for Jaiswal! Stroke of luck in there too. Short from Tongue, Jaiswal plays it on the up, and he's lucky that it's gone between the slip fielders and away for 4. The two batters navigating well here.

IND 93/2 (21.4)

Akash Deep on the charge! The night watchman is looking to add as many runs as he can with the bat, and is not afraid to swing against Gus Atkinson either. These are valuable runs from a batter who would usually come in to bat at No. 9!

IND 87/2 (20.3)

Cracking start by Akash Deep! He is going after Jacob Bethell in the first over of the day. The night watchman clearing the mid-wicket region. Picks up a 4, and then targets the same area again. Two more runs. Ends the over with a perfect front foot block!

IND 81/2 (19)

Play on Day 3 of the fifth Test between India and England begins. For India, Yashasvi Jaiswal (51*) and Akash Deep (4*) will continue the proceedings from 75/2. For England, Jacob Bethell will be bowling the first over of the day. Let's play!!! 

Mohammed Siraj revealed in a video chat with BCCI that he a funny conversation with Jasprit Bumrah. “I asked Jassi bhai, 'Why are you going? Who will I hug when I take five wickets?' He said, 'I'm here, you take your five wickets!'” Siraj told BCCI.

The four-wicket haul against England completed Mohammed Siraj's 118 wickets in Tests. Apart from this, he also took 71 wickets in ODIs and 14 wickets in T20Is. In total, he has now got 203 wickets in international cricket. Batting great Sachin Tendulkar took 201 international wickets.

After rain played a spoilsport on both Day 1 and 2, there's a good news for the cricket fans as there's no prediction for today. The weather is currently clear and it's a sunny day in London. It is also predicted that the weather is to remain the same the entire day. 

Mohammed Siraj produced a lion-hearted spell and Prasidh Krishna cleaned up the tail to script India’s spirited comeback after a brutal assault from England openers on day two. After a forgettable opening session where Siraj and Co. were taken to the cleaners by Ben Duckett (43 off 38) and Zak Crawley (64 off 57), the Indian pacers redeemed themselves by bowling out England for 247 in the final session, giving the hosts only a slender 23-run lead.

The focus will be on Yashasvi Jaiswal, who will look to complete his century. However, the bigger concern for India is nightwatchman Akash Deep at strike. The England bowlers will give their best to dismiss the Indian pacer at the earliest, in order to make India three down and put additional pressure on them. 

Yashasvi Jaiswal's unbeaten 51 took India to 75/2 at stumps on the second day of the fifth Test against England, with a lead of 52 runs. India lost opener KL Rahul (7) and Sai Sudharsan (11) but conveniently erased a 23-run first innings deficit, largely due to Jaiswal’s positive approach with the bat. Rahul was removed by Josh Tongue while Gus Atkinson accounted for Sudharsan. Jaiswal was accompanied by night watchman Akash Deep (4 not out) when the stumps were drawn.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Day 3 of the ongoing fifth and final Test between India and England, straight from The Oval in London. Stay tuned for all the live updates.
