Earlier, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna shared the honours with four wickets each, bundling England out for 247. Despite their efforts, England secured a narrow 23-run first-innings lead over India. Mohammed Siraj put in a tireless shift with the ball, picking up three crucial wickets to lead India’s charge at The Oval. His aggressive, disciplined spell rattled the English middle order. Just before the Tea break, Prasidh Krishna joined the party with two quick strikes of his own, as England scored 215/7 at Tea. The duo’s combined effort turned the tide in India’s favour, injecting life into the contest and giving the visitors renewed hope going into the final session.
Earlier, Akash Deep managed to break the opening stand by removing Ben Duckett, but Zak Crawley’s explosive fifty kept England in control. The hosts headed into lunch firmly in command at 109/1. Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley came out all guns blazing, taking on Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep to power England to 50 runs in just 7 overs.
Gus Atkinson capped off a clinical bowling effort by England, picking up his maiden five-wicket haul in Test cricket to dismiss India for 224. The pacer was relentless with his line and length, consistently troubling the batters and breaking key partnerships. His final strike wrapped up the innings, giving England a firm grip on the match heading into their first innings.
Washington Sundar and Karun Nair fell early on Day 2, offering little resistance as England strengthened their control over the game and firmly asserted their dominance. The fast-and-furious fifth Test match of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at the Oval had a choppy start, as typically soggy weather in London meant only 64 overs were bowled. Plenty of action even on a shortened first day, however: England were able to take 6 wickets, not letting any Indian batter get truly set.
India didn’t do too badly either, all things considered, putting on 204 runs with players such as Sai Sudharsan impressing in a solid defensive showing. However, the issue for India was the inability for any of their batters to convert their starts into bigger scores, as Sudharsan was dismissed on 38, and Shubman Gill ran himself out while batting on 21.
Only one batter truly shone on day 1, and it was a long time coming for this man: Karun Nair, for the first time in 9 years, registered a 50+ score in Test cricket, only for the second time following his famous 303* in 2016. Karun Nair has an ability to go big, but lapses of focus and poor shots after getting set have been his undoing on this tour.
As far as India are concerned, Karun will need to be safe and ensures he bats really deep, with the team already six wickets down and last to their final partnership. The good thing for India is that they have a truly sensational number eight to accompany Karun. Washington Sundar, fresh off his maiden century in Test cricket, will occupy the crease early on a day that will truly test his technique.
A lot will be riding on their shoulders on another day that will be overcast and tricky to bat on with not much batting to follow. However, a focus for India will also be on their bowling: will Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep and company be tighter and more threatening with the ball than their English counterparts? They have a surface that will suit their strengths, but to capitalise on that is a completely different matter altogether.
