Trailing 2-1 in the five-match Test series against England, India, under the leadership of Shubman Gill, will be aiming to finish strong with a win in the final Test at The Oval in London, hoping to square the series.
The outcome of the 2025 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy hinges on this match, but overcast skies and a seamer-friendly green pitch have tilted conditions in England’s favour.
With Day 1 at the Oval seeing rain interrupting the proceedings multiple times, the same could be the scene in London today as well.
London weather forecast for Day 2
Day 2 may see marginally improved weather, though the UK Met Office forecasts the highest likelihood of showers between 1 PM and 3 PM local time (5:30 to 7:30 PM IST). Temperatures are expected to hold steady around 19–20°C.

Day 1 saw only 64 overs of play due to a delayed start caused by rain, despite extended playing hours. The gloomy weather hung over London all day Thursday, and after losing the toss for the fifth straight time, India’s top order faltered under pressure from England’s pace bowlers. The visitors managed to edge past 200 by stumps but lost six key wickets in the process.
