ENG vs IND 5th Test Day 4 Weather Forecast: Will rain play spoilsport today?

 

Clear skies on Day 3 were a welcome relief after two rain-hit days. However, Day 4 might not be as forgiving. Forecasts from BBC and AccuWeather indicate a 40–50% chance of showers, especially in the afternoon. With temperatures hovering between 18°C and 22°C and humidity on the rise, bowlers might find some early movement. 

  India in a commanding position at the Oval 

India’s stronghold on the match has steadily grown. After Siraj and Prasidh Krishna dismantled England's batting with a fine display of pace and precision on Day 2, the third day belonged to the Indian batters. Yashasvi Jaiswal led from the front, crafting a sublime century to anchor India’s second innings. He was brilliantly supported by nightwatchman Akash Deep, who surprised everyone with a quick-fire knock that unsettled the English bowling attack.

 

Later contributions from Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar pushed India's total to a commanding level, setting England a challenging fourth-innings target of 374 runs. Siraj added to India’s momentum late on Day 3 by castling Zak Crawley with a pinpoint yorker.
