Oval Thriller: India Beat England By Six Runs In 5th Test, Level Series
Mohammed Siraj took five wickets and Prasidh Krishna picked four.
India beat England by six runs in a dramatic final day of the fifth test match at the Oval on Monday to level the series 2-2.
Mohammed Siraj took five wickets and Prasidh Krishna picked four as India thwarted England's bid to win the Anderson Tendulkar trophy.
The last day saw incredible scenes as Chris Woakes, who was out injured, came out to bat with his left arm on a sling under the sweater. However, he did not face any ball but managed to complete a few runs even though he was grimacing in pain.
Set a target of 374, England were comfortably set to win the match as Joe Root and Harry Brook both scored hundreds. However, slowly, there was a batting collapse as England kept losing wickets at regular intervals.
