India vs England 5th Test Highlights Day 2: Yashasvi Jaiswal’s unbeaten 51 helped India reach 75/2 at the close of play on Day 2 of the fifth Test against England, giving the visitors a 52-run lead by stumps on Friday.

Josh Tongue dismissed Rahul, while Gus Atkinson struck again to remove Sudharsan.
Jaiswal remained solid at one end and was joined by nightwatchman Akash Deep (4*), who saw off the final overs of the day.
Earlier in the day, England were bowled out for 247 in response to India’s first innings total of 224, managing a slim 23-run lead.

ℹ️MATCH UPDATE
From England’s corner, the morning session is crucial. The conditions could offer just enough movement to make early inroads, and they’ll need to strike while the pitch still whispers to the seamers. But with one bowler already out of the equation, the burden will fall heavily on the remaining quicks. Managing that workload while keeping the intensity high will be a test of both skill and conviction. It’s all shaping up to be another engrossing day of cricket at The Oval.
MATCH UPDATE
With just a 52-run lead in hand, India will be eyeing a long, grinding stay at the crease, one that stretches the game out of England’s reach and builds scoreboard pressure brick by brick. The goal is simple, bat deep, wear down the opposition, and set up a target that feels like a mountain. But what’s the magic number that gives them real confidence? The kind of total that lets their bowlers hunt with freedom and belief? That’s the question hanging in the air.
MATCH UPDATE
This is not the kind of Test where runs will flow in heaps. The conditions have kept bowlers in the game throughout, and the pitch has offered just enough to make scoring a challenge. In a contest like this, partnerships become the currency of success. Batters need to dig in, absorb pressure, and build together because momentum shifts quickly, and isolated efforts rarely last. Every stand, no matter how small, carries weight, and stitching together meaningful partnerships is the only way to inch ahead in this hard-fought battle.
MATCH UPDATE
There’s no doubt that the bowlers have dictated terms and conditions so far. As many as 15 wickets fell on Friday, which saw the entire English innings being sandwiched and wrapped up on 247, with a slender 23-run lead, with the Indian batting on either sides. This made the contest almost a one-inning shootout. With the speed at which things have moved, it is fair to say that we might not see the Test going down to the wire on the fifth day, and might as well see a four-day finish.
MATCH UPDATE
Hello, everyone! It’s Day 3 in this fifth and final Test at The Oval. With the way things have moved at a rapid pace despite the full quota of overs not being bowled for the first two days, there’s no clear advantage to any side just yet. And this moving day could well shape the outcome of this final frontier. Let’s hope the weather stays gentle and we get an uninterrupted play this time around.
MATCH UPDATE
... DAY 3, FIRST SESSION ...
MATCH UPDATE
Right. It was a day when the ball completely outplayed the bat, as 15 wickets fell in the day. Despite the full quota of overs not being bowled on the opening day due to rain and further interruptions on Day 2, this final Test has raced ahead at a remarkable pace. With 'Moving Day' approaching, the tempo is expected to climb even higher. Throughout the series, as has been the pattern, the momentum has rarely stayed with one side for long. Every time a team looks set to take control, the opposition hits back with greater intensity to keep the contest alive. At Stumps on Day 2, India might sense a slight edge, but with the series at stake, they'll be keen to build on it and press for a commanding finish. England, meanwhile, will eye early wickets on Day 3 to curb India’s lead. Play resumes on Saturday, August 2nd, and the first ball is scheduled to be bowled at 3.30 pm IST (10 am GMT). Join us then. Take care and cheers!
MATCH UPDATE
When India came out to bat, the sun had broken through, and the openers got off to contrasting starts. Yashasvi Jaiswal looked confident and assertive, while KL Rahul appeared tentative from the outset. It didn’t take long for Josh Tongue to find the edge and send Rahul packing. But England’s fielding soon began to unravel. Jaiswal was dropped twice, first by Brook in the second slip and later on 40 by Dawson, while Sudharsan too was handed a life on 7. The missed chances proved costly as Jaiswal batted with positive intent, a smart approach on a pitch where any ball could pose a threat. Sudharsan, steady and composed, couldn't make most of his reprieve, eventually perishing. India ended Day 2 with a lead of 52 runs before Stumps were called due to bad light.
MATCH UPDATE
England stamped their authority on the morning session, with Gus Atkinson leading the charge through a brilliant five-wicket haul. He made sure the Indian tail didn’t wag, wrapping up the innings swiftly as India added just 20 runs to their overnight total of 204. In reply, Duckett and Crawley came out with intent, racing past 100 inside 15 overs and throwing India off their rhythm. Duckett’s attacking 43 ended in a loose stroke, but the early assault had already shifted the momentum to an extent. With the pitch quickening up and inconsistency on the Indian bowlers' part, England looked well set and in command.
MATCH UPDATE
But what an enthralling day of cricket this has been. Both teams have gone hard at each other and have prevented each other with any sort of ascendancy. The morning session was bossed by the Englishmen, but the following two sessions went blue, and so far, we have two shared sessions, with two each shared by both sides. This proves that this Test pretty much hangs in balance with no clear upper hand to any side.
MATCH UPDATE
The light-meter is out, and when asked by Kumar Dharmasena if he’s willing to carry on by bringing in the spinners, the English skipper, Ollie Pope, declines, prompting the umpires to call it STUMPS due to bad light. With still 15 minutes left in the extended session, the artificial light takes over the natural light and hence, it is not perfectly alright to carry on. Kind of a smart decision by Pope here as Jaiswal is a good player against spin and certainly, with no proper full-time spinner in the ranks, he doesn't want more runs to be leaked.
