  1. Ind 74-2

    Akash Deep clips his first ball in the air for four. I'm not sure this was the plan but every run will help India.

  2. Akash Deep has emerged rather than Shubman Gill...

  3. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    That second wicket for England has been a little while coming.

  4. Things are getting tetchy again!

    Sai Sudharsan hangs around after the decision is made. Ben Duckett seems to be having a word.

    Harry Brook shows Sudharsan the way from the field.

  5. wicket

    WICKET

    Sudharsan lbw b Atkinson 11 (Ind 70-2)

    'Up goes the finger!' - Atkinson dismisses Sudharsan lbw for 11

    Out and India lose the review.

    It has kept low from Gus Atkinson which is of slight concern for England given they will bat last.

  6. Deep Dasgupta
    Former India wicketkeeper

    The only thing that can save Sudharsan is if it has done a bit too much.

  7. There's no bat...

  8. India review

    Plumb. Surely this is plumb?

    Sai Sudharsan sends an lbw shout upstairs having been given out.

  9. Ind 70-1

    Lead by 47

    You feel England need a wicket to take into their evening to boost morale.

  10. Deep Dasgupta
    Former India wicketkeeper

    Jaiswal's mindset seems different compared to the first innings. There's a sense of urgency with his body language and the way he's walking.

  11. 6 runs

    50 for Yashasvi Jaiswal

    Yashasvi Jaiswal goes to his fifty with an upper cut six. He's not a man you want to drop twice.

    Jaiswal hits clever six to bring up his 50 in style

  12. Deep Dasgupta
    Former India wicketkeeper

    England have bowled well. Especially Josh Tongue, he was unfortunate to only get one wicket in that spell, he should've had more.

  13. Ind 64-1

    Jaiswal 45, Sudharsan 11

    There's no joy for Gus Atkinson despite an accurate start to his second spell. There's still 25 minutes to go today.

  14. Sir Alastair Cook
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Just another example of this side not being able to nail their opposition. India could've been 60-3, leading by 40 with half an hour left of play. England could've then picked up another couple of wickets and been five down and miles ahead.

  15. With England a bowler down, Ollie Pope has to turn back to Gus Atkinson for his second spell of the innings. The wicket of KL Rahul now feels a long time ago.

    Root takes catch at first slip to dismiss Rahul for seven

  16. How's stat?!

    Catching efficiency this series:

    England - 80% (14 drops)

    India - 66% (21 drops)

  17. Ind 64-1

    Lead by 41

    Zak Crawley of England checks his hand after dropping a sharp chance off Sai Sudharsan of India during Day Two of the 5th Rothesay Test Match between England and India at The Kia Oval on August 01, 2025 in London, England.Getty Images

    It was waist high to Crawley, slightly to his left as Sai Sudharsan attempted a drive. It looks like he has also been done for pace.

    Dropped catches cost India in the first Test of the series. It may well cost England in the last.

  18. Sir Alastair Cook
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    We're at the moment in the game where every ball something is happening.

  19. dropped catch

    Sudharsan dropped on 7

    It never rains but it...

    Fielding to forget - England drop three catches in final session
