Ravindra Jadeja: Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar hit 53 each as India were bowled out for 396 in 88 overs and set England a target of 374 to win the fifth Test at The Oval and clinch the first edition of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.
The day began with Akash Deep hitting an entertaining 66, his first Test fifty and was followed by Yashasvi Jaiswal making 118, his sixth Test century. Jadeja and Sundar, who timed his acceleration well, then smashed half-centuries each to set an imposing target for England.
For England, Josh Tongue took 5-125, while Gus Atkinson and Jamie Overton took 3-127 and 2-98 respectively. With 26 overs left in the day, England will now embark on their second-highest run-chase in Tests, which is sandwiched between their second-highest and highest successful chases in the longest format of the game.
