India pacer Mohammed Siraj has taken three wickets on the final day, resulting in a five-wicket haul, to clinch a dramatic victory for India against England in the fifth Test at The Oval. England have been bowled out for 367, meaning India win by 6 runs. England needed 35 runs to win on the final day, but Siraj’s terrific performance, aided by Prasidh Krishna’s four wickets, have meant that India have levelled the series 2-2 and retained the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. India looked down and out, but inspired spells from Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj in the final session of Day 4 saw them roar back. Centurions Joe Root and Harry Brook departed in quick succession, as England lost three wickets in the space of 36 runs. Shubman Gill-led India must win the Test to level the series and retain the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.
