This podcast recaps the exciting conclusion of the 5th Test between England and India at The Oval.



England needed 374 runs to win and secure the series, facing a challenging task on the final day. The game was closely contested at the end of Day 4, with England needing 35 more runs to win, and India needing 4 more wickets for victory.



England's pursuit of a record chase at The Oval was led by a century from Joe Root. He scored his 39th Test hundred off 137 balls before getting out with 37 runs left to score. Harry Brook also played a key role, hitting 111 off 98 balls, bringing England within 73 runs of their target.



But India fought back and still have a chance.

After England scored a mammoth 669 to take a commanding lead and leave India 0-2 on Day 4, all thoughts turned to an England win. But a fantastic display from India's batters on a flat Old Trafford pitch saw India home to a comfortable draw. Some late shenanigans gave us something to talk about, however, as Jadeja and Sundar wound up weary England by turning down an early finish to reach their centuries.

England were all over on Day 2 of the fourth Test between India and England in the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy Test series. India started the day in a good position but were unable to capitalise, as poor cricket and good play from England wrapped the innings up, despite a cameo from Rishabh Pant.



Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett then took the game away from India, scoring quickly and brutally as they ran the score up to almost 200.

India came out slightly ahead on day 1 in Manchester, as their Test series v England continues.



They will be upset, however, that they couldn't build a bigger advantage and will be seriously worried by the injury to Rishabh Pant.
