ENG vs IND 5th Test Day 2 full scorecard
The second day of the India vs England 5th Test at The Oval proved to be a thrilling encounter filled with shifting momentum and intense competition as both teams fought hard on a challenging pitch. India resumed their first innings at 204 for 6 following a rain-interrupted opening day but soon lost their remaining four wickets for just 20 runs, finishing with a total of 224. Karun Nair stood out for India with a resilient 57 runs under difficult batting conditions, while England’s Gus Atkinson delivered an impressive bowling performance, claiming five wickets to dismantle the Indian batting line-up.
England responded strongly in their first innings, thanks to a steady 93-run opening partnership between Zak Crawley, who scored 64, and Ben Duckett, who contributed 43 runs. However, Indian pacers Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna fought back effectively, taking four wickets apiece and ensuring England reached a modest total of 247, securing a slim 23-run lead.
India’s second innings saw an aggressive start as opener Yashasvi Jaiswal capitalized on England’s fielding errors, particularly their sloppy catching that allowed India to build a valuable unbeaten 52-run lead by stumps. Jaiswal raced to a quickfire half-century off just 49 balls and remained not out on 51, with nightwatchman Akash Deep at the other end. Meanwhile, KL Rahul and Sai Sudharsan were dismissed cheaply by England’s bowlers, leaving the contest finely balanced heading into Day 3.
The day also saw a setback for England as pacer Chris Woakes was ruled out due to a shoulder injury. Despite weather interruptions and a bowler-friendly pitch, both teams remain locked in a tight battle in the series decider, with India holding a slender advantage late on Day 2. The stage is set for an exciting continuation as each side looks to leverage its strengths and capitalize on opportunities in the remaining sessions.
