England vs India HIGHLIGHTS, 5th Test Day 1: Karun-Sundar guide IND past 200; IND 204/6 at stumps
5th Test | ENG vs IND Highlights: A 50+ run partnership in the end for Washington Sundar and Karun Nair takes India past the 200-run mark after IND top order failed on the day.
Karun Nair
Day 1 of the 5th Test between England and India ended with India losing 6 wickets and putting 204 runs on the board. Karun Nair and Washington Sundar's 50-run stand helped India stay on the crease for the entire day as India look to end their innings in a healthy manner on Day 2. Chris Woakes injury was worrisome for the Three Lions who will have to wait on him to confirm about his availability. The fifth Test of the 2025 Anderson Tendulkar Trophy between India and England at The Oval, London, saw the hosts gain an early upper hand as their pacers, on a grass-laden, pace-friendly surface, put the Indian batters under pressure before persistent rain halted play, prompting early lunch and tea.
Earlier, England won their fifth toss in a row in the series and invited India to bat first on what appeared to be a bowler-friendly wicket. The decision was quickly vindicated when Gus Atkinson dismissed the in-form Yashasvi Jaiswal (2) in the fourth over. However, KL Rahul and Sai Sudharsan steadied India with a cautious but resolute second-wicket stand, fending off everything England threw at them. At one point, Sai was knocked to the ground by a searing yorker from Josh Tongue but regained composure to keep the scoreboard ticking.
England's seamers continued to probe with consistent inswingers and were eventually rewarded in the second hour when Chris Woakes bowled KL Rahul (14) to secure England’s second breakthrough.
India captain Shubman Gill then walked in and added another record to his name by surpassing Sunil Gavaskar as the Indian captain with the most runs in a Test series. Gill and Sai managed to take India to lunch without further loss as rain forced an early end to the session.
The second session began nearly one-and-a-half hours late, starting at 7:30 PM IST instead of the scheduled 6:10 PM IST, due to a wet outfield. However, the passage of play was brief, with only six overs bowled before rain returned. In that time, Shubman Gill (21) was run out—his first dismissal between 20 and 100 runs in this series. This was also only the second time Gill has been run out in Tests, the previous instance also coming against England at Rajkot in 2024.
Eventually, early tea was taken at 8:30 PM IST, with India at 85 for 3.
The third session began after a 25-minute delay at 9:15 PM IST. India looked to rebuild and crossed the 100-run mark, but Josh Tongue struck again to remove Sai Sudharsan on 38, reducing India to 101 for 4.
