ENG vs IND
Team India have scripted a memorable comeback to win the 5th Test by 6 runs on the final day against England as they finish the tour with the series level on 2-2. Mohd Siraj's amazing fifer did the trick for India as he cleaned Atkinson for the final wicket on the day. Shubman Gill and co. have done the unthinkable, defending 35 runs on the final day of the match in front of a packed crowd at the Oval as the young men grab the win away from England's grasp on the final day. Twenty-five days of thrilling cricket, and the best was truly saved for the finale! What a sensational end to an unforgettable series. Test cricket, is there anything that compares? India's bowlers produced a masterclass when it mattered most, pulling off a remarkable turnaround just when it seemed England had the match in hand. The tension was electric, the drama relentless, and the intensity never dropped. The day began with two early boundaries for England, but any sense of control was short-lived. Mohammed Siraj was on fire, first drawing an edge from Jamie Smith, then trapping Jamie Overton in front. Every run England managed this morning was hard-earned, and in the end, they came up just six runs short.

Comments after the match: Came into the day very confident. Had very two good players out there at the time and thought they’d easily see it home. The way India bowled today, they deserve every success. Absolutely, we thought the bowlers would stiffen up a bit and the pitch would flatten out a bit. Siraj has played every game of the series and has bowled every ball 85+mph, respect him a lot. He was always going to go out, massive credit to him. Unfortunate we couldn’t get over the line. So many things you can think in hindsight, we were obviously going so well, if we could’ve got a couple of big overs when I was going then the game was done. We’ve seen collapses in this series.
My thought process was just to hit as many runs as quickly as possible. If we needed 40 runs when I and Rooty were out there and I got out, the game would’ve still been ours. Hindsight’s a beautiful thing, now that I think about it, I probably shouldn’t have played that shot. It’s been an awesome series, very intense series, we’ve been knackered after everything. We’ve put everything out there, we’ve enjoyed every moment of it even though the result didn’t go our way today. It’s such a good advert for Test cricket.

"To be honest, it feels amazing. We wanted to fight hard from Day 1 and to see this result is great. The plan was to keep it simple and hit one spot. When I woke up today I believed that."
Siraj says he screenshotted a photo saying 'Believe' and kept it as his wallpaper ahead of taking the fifer on the day. Safe to say his manifestation paid off for his side.

England vs India LIVE SCORE UPDATES 5th Test, Day 5: KL Rahul reacts to the win!
KL Rahul after the match: "It means absolutely everything. I have played cricket for a while. We won the Champions Trophy. I have seen India lifting the World Cup, nothing compares to lifting the World Cup. but so many doubts, so many questions about whether Test cricket will stay or not. I think both the teams with the way we have played the series I guess have answered the question. For us as a team that wasn't given a chance in the series.. for us to fight back and fight every game and get a result of 2-2... Might seem like a draw but for us and for Indian Test cricket going into the future, this will rank right at the top and this is where the change begins and the team will win a lot more series outside of India. The whole team deserves it.
Once I joined the team, it hit me (Not having the senior players around). To look around and not see them (Rohit, Virat and Ashwin) felt a bit weird. Everyone came to me and asked me about conditions and that is when it hit me that okay, I have stepped into a different role to help the younger guys and use all the experience and really put my hand up and stand up for this team. Shubman has been phenomenal. He has really led from the front. Has worked really hard with the boys. He has been tactically really good. The changes he has made have always got us wickets somehow. He will grow further. He is here to stay as a leader and take this Indian Test team to great heights."
