IND vs ENG 5th Test: Mohammed Siraj holds nerve as India edge England by 6 runs in Oval thriller, series ends 2-2

India pulled off a nail-biting 6-run win over England in the final Test at The Oval, ending the series in style. The last morning was full of tension, nerves and brilliant fast bowling that turned the game India’s way after Joe Root and Harry Brook’s hundreds had put England in control on Day 4.

England started the day needing just 35 runs, and Prasidh Krishna was hit for two boundaries straight away. But then Mohammed Siraj stepped up. He got Jamie Smith caught behind with a perfect delivery, and almost dismissed Gus Atkinson the very next ball. In his next over, he trapped Jamie Overton LBW, with the decision staying as umpire’s call.

Prasidh came back and nearly got Josh Tongue out LBW, but the review saved him. A couple of overs later, he bowled Tongue with a beauty. England were nine wickets down, still needing 11 runs. Chris Woakes, batting left-handed with one hand because of a shoulder injury, tried to fight on. Atkinson hit Siraj for a six but couldn’t survive much longer. Siraj bowled him clean, and the celebrations began.

Siraj finished with five wickets, including three on the final morning. “We just kept believing,” he said. “This team never backs down.” Once again, India showed the heart and fight of champions.
