India vs England Live Score, 5th Test Match: Day 2 of the Oval Test saw the series come alive as India fought back brilliantly through their pace duo — Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna — after England threatened to seize control. England were 129/1 in reply to India’s 224, following a blistering 92-run opening stand between Zak Crawley (64) and Ben Duckett (43) in just 13 overs. But once Akash Deep dismissed Duckett, India roared back.
Siraj (4/86) and Krishna (4/62) shared eight wickets between them to bowl England out for 247, limiting their lead to just 23 runs. Harry Brook fought with a quick 53, hitting one remarkable falling sweep for six, but was the last man out as Chris Woakes — injured while fielding on Day 1 — could not bat.
India’s second innings began with intent, led by Yashasvi Jaiswal, who raced to a 44-ball half-century and remained unbeaten on 51 at stumps. He was dropped twice — first by Brook at slip on 20, then by Dawson in the deep on 40 — and made England pay. India reached 75/2 before bad light ended play 15 minutes early, with a 52-run lead. KL Rahul (7) edged to Root, while Sai Sudharsan (11) was lbw to Atkinson, who had earlier taken 5/33 in India’s first innings.
Tempers flared briefly when Joe Root exchanged words with Prasidh Krishna, underlining the tension of the series decider. Earlier, India lost their last four wickets for just 20 runs in the morning.
This gripping Test continues to ebb and flow, promising more drama on Day 3, with England a bowler short and India now holding a slender advantage.
