Delhi: The fifth and last Test between India and England has now come to an exciting turn on the last day. The fourth day’s game ended quickly due to rain and bad light. England now need only 35 runs to win the match, while India needs four wickets to equalize the series. Or say only 3 wickets are needed, because the injured Harry Brook may not get off to bat.
Indian bowlers emphasize
The Indian team, who was on the verge of almost defeat, made a great comeback. When Joe Root and Harry Brook scored centuries, it seemed that the match had left India’s hand. However, the Indian bowlers did not lose courage. In the second session, Akash Deep broke a big partnership by dismissing Brook. Brook played an aggressive shot that overshadowed him.
In the third session, India killed his life in the match. The famous Krishna bowled Jacob Bethal clean for just 5 runs. At that time England needed 42 runs to win. After this, the famous also took the wicket of Joe Root. Root’s catch wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurlel caught a brilliant way by diving on the right. Mohammad Siraj and famous Krishna kept constant pressure. The voices of the audience were echoing in the Oval ground. But, due to poor light, the game had to be finished quickly and now everyone’s eyes are on the last day.
Will Chris Woakes bat?
Now the biggest question for England is whether Chris Woakes will go for batting. Vox was hurt in shoulder on the first day and the England Cricket Board said that he would not take any further participation in this Test. But, after the fourth day, Joe Root told in the press conference that Vox will bat if needed.
Root said, “You must have seen them in white clothes in the dressing room, they are fully prepared. This series has been something where the players did not care for their body. Hopefully they will not be needed, but if they were prepared, they are ready. They had done some throw. Yes, they are in a lot of pain, but still if the team needs it, he will come down on the field.”
Now everyone’s eyes are on the last day’s game. Will India win the match by winning the series 2-2 or England will make the series 3–1, the answer will be found in a few hours.
