IND vs ENG Highlights, 5th Test Match Day 2: India 75/2 in second innings as stumps, lead England by 52 runs
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.

India vs England Live Score: Pitch Report for Day 2
"There was a lot of dampness yesterday which has caused some footmarks. This is a pitch that will be challenging for the batter. There is enough for the seamers but at the same time the England seamers didn't bowl really well. They were very wayward and that is what the Indian seamers will look to correct whenever they get to bowl. This pitch won't get easy for batting as the Test progresses either." - Cheteshwar Pujara
14:49 (IST) Aug 01
Chris Woakes has been sidelined for the remainder of the fifth Test between India and England due to a suspected shoulder dislocation sustained on the opening day. The injury occurred while fielding, forcing him to leave the field. This adds to England's injury woes, as they are already without key players like captain Ben Stokes.

"At this stage, the injury has ruled him out of any further participation in the Test. A further assessment will be conducted at the conclusion of the series."

Former India cricketer Sanjay Bangar analysed Yashasvi Jaiswal’s lbw dismissal in the fifth Test, saying, “That’s exactly what happened with Jaiswal.” Bangar explained the left-hander was too focused on covering his off-stump and missed a straight ball.
Varun Aaron praised KL Rahul’s technique despite his dismissal, calling it “an opening batter's masterclass” but noted Rahul “will be very disappointed.”

IND vs ENG Live Score: Major update! Chris Woakes ruled out of 5th Test
England suffered a significant blow as all-rounder Chris Woakes was officially ruled out of the fifth Test at The Oval due to a shoulder injury sustained while fielding on Day 1. Woakes, the only English pacer to play all five Tests in the series, had been a key figure with both ball and bat.
His absence leaves England short of experience in the pace department and puts added pressure on the relatively inexperienced attack, especially with overcast conditions continuing to favour seam bowling. The injury also disrupts England's balance, as Woakes contributed crucial lower-order runs throughout the series.

India vs England Live Score: India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate on why Jasprit Bumrah missed despite The Oval pitch offering healthy conditions for bowling
"It's quite a complex issue around Bumrah. We obviously want to wheel him in, but we also want to respect where his body's at, and on the basis of that, we just felt that it wasn't worth including him in the squad," he said on Thursday.
"He has bowled a large number of overs, I know it doesn't always seem like that because he's only played three Tests and he only bowled in one innings in Manchester.
"But if you look at the loads, he's bowled a lot of overs, and like he did say coming into the tour, he was going to be available for three games, and we just felt it was right to honour that call," Ten Doeschate added.

Rain is likely to impact Day 2 of the fifth Test at The Oval, with showers expected around 2 PM and 4 PM local time. India ended Day 1 at 204/6, with Karun Nair unbeaten on 52.

IND vs ENG Live Score: Day 1 recap
The opening day of the fifth and final Test at The Oval had a bit of everything: rain delays, milestone moments, injury concerns, and a gritty comeback. India ended the day at 204 for six, with Karun Nair’s unbeaten 52 offering a silver lining amid batting struggles.
Rain halted play twice, but 64 overs were eventually bowled. Early wickets put India under pressure as Jaiswal (2) and Rahul (14) fell cheaply. Shubman Gill played some elegant shots before a risky single led to his run-out for 21. Still, his 733-run tally for the series overtook Sunil Gavaskar’s previous Indian captain record.
The standout moment, however, belonged to Nair. Back in the side after years on the sidelines, he weathered testing conditions and moved to a confident fifty, featuring seven boundaries. His partnership with Washington Sundar (19*) ensured India didn’t lose more ground.
England’s pace attack was sharp in bursts. Tongue and Atkinson exploited the pitch effectively, while Overton lacked control. Chris Woakes injured his shoulder in the field, casting doubt over his availability.
In a game and series still hanging in the balance, Day 1’s narrative belonged to Karun Nair’s defiance and Gill’s place in history.

IND vs ENG Live Score: All eyes on Karun Nair at the start of Day 2
India may have lost six wickets on Day 1, but Karun Nair ensured the innings didn’t collapse entirely under pressure. The 32-year-old, recalled to the Test side after eight years, scored a dogged unbeaten 52 to guide India to 204/6 at stumps on a green Oval pitch. His effort stood tall in a batting lineup that struggled against England’s disciplined seam attack.
After a rain-trimmed morning session, Yashasvi Jaiswal fell lbw to Gus Atkinson while KL Rahul chopped on a short ball from Woakes. Shubman Gill, fresh off breaking Gavaskar’s record, looked solid until a risky single ended his stay. India were soon in deeper trouble as Sai Sudharsan and Jadeja edged behind off Tongue.
England bowled well in patches—Atkinson and Tongue in particular—but were otherwise inconsistent. Chris Woakes’ late injury added a layer of concern for the hosts. Despite rain halting play twice, an extended session allowed 64 overs to be bowled.
Through all the drama, Nair’s calm presence and sharp shot selection, including a standout cover drive, anchored India’s innings. If rain and overcast conditions persist, this knock could prove invaluable in determining the fate of the series.

IND vs ENG Live Score: Karun Nair stands tall on a day of stumbles
India’s first day of the decisive fifth Test at The Oval was marked by inconsistency, missed opportunities, and timely resilience. On a pitch offering generous seam movement, Karun Nair played a career-reviving innings, remaining unbeaten on 52 at stumps as India posted 204 for six. His composure and shot selection were a stark contrast to the rest of the batting lineup.
Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul both fell early, exposing India’s middle order to tricky conditions. Shubman Gill, after looking promising and surpassing Sunil Gavaskar’s series record, was dismissed due to a poor single—run out for 21. Sai Sudharsan played patiently for his 38 but fell late in the third session, followed quickly by Ravindra Jadeja.
Rain interrupted play twice, but 64 overs were still completed. England's attack was led ably by Josh Tongue and debutant Gus Atkinson, who struck key blows with the new ball. However, Jamie Overton and Tongue also offered loose deliveries that helped India add runs in spurts.
The major concern for England is Chris Woakes’ shoulder injury, sustained late in the day. As rain and uncertainty loom, Nair’s stoic innings could turn out to be one of the defining moments in this critical Test.Nair Stands Tall on a Day of Stumbles

India vs England Live Score: Shubman Gill breaks Sunil Gavaskar’s record amid chaos
On a rain-interrupted Day 1 of the fifth Test, Indian skipper Shubman Gill etched his name into the record books, surpassing Sunil Gavaskar’s mark for most runs by an Indian captain in a single Test series. Gill’s tally now stands at 733, eclipsing Gavaskar’s 732 from 1978-79. Despite his record-breaking moment, Gill’s innings ended prematurely due to a run-out after a misjudged single.
Gill's exit marked another low point in a challenging day for India. Batting first on a lively green pitch, the visitors stumbled to 204 for six by stumps. The standout performer was Karun Nair, who marked his return with a crucial unbeaten 52. He partnered with Washington Sundar (19*) to steady the innings after India lost wickets in clusters.
Josh Tongue and Gus Atkinson bowled with purpose, accounting for key dismissals. Sai Sudharsan and Ravindra Jadeja were removed by moving deliveries in the final session. Rain halted play twice, limiting proceedings to 64 overs despite an extended session.
With Chris Woakes sustaining a shoulder injury while fielding, England may find themselves a bowler short. Amid shifting conditions and historical milestones, Gill’s achievement and Nair’s resilience have kept India alive in this high-stakes finale.

IND vs ENG Live Score, 5th Test Match Day 2: Welcome to the coverage of an exciting day from London!
Hello and welcome to TimesofIndia.com for the live coverage of Day 2 of the fifth Test between India and England.
IND 204/6 after 64 overs in a rain-hit game yesterday!
Karun Nair seized his moment in style on a challenging opening day of the fifth Test at The Oval. On a green-top that tested every batter, Nair played a composed, unbeaten knock of 52 off 98 balls—his first Test fifty in eight years. With the ball seaming throughout and India losing wickets regularly, Nair’s innings stood out for its grit and maturity. His partnership with Washington Sundar (19*) ensured India closed at 204 for six on a rain-affected day.
India’s top order struggled, with both openers—Yashasvi Jaiswal (2) and KL Rahul (14)—dismissed early. Captain Shubman Gill, after surpassing Sunil Gavaskar's long-standing series record of 732 runs, was unfortunately run out for 21. Sai Sudharsan (38) and Ravindra Jadeja (9) fell to fine deliveries from Josh Tongue, who, along with Gus Atkinson, was among England’s best bowlers.
Nair’s knock included seven boundaries, highlighted by a beautiful cover drive off Tongue. He brought up his fifty with a smart shot off Jacob Bethell in the final session. With rain interruptions and a potentially injured Chris Woakes, the match hangs delicately in the balance. Nair’s innings could prove the backbone India needs in this crucial series decider.
IND 204/6 after 64 overs in a rain-hit game yesterday!
Karun Nair seized his moment in style on a challenging opening day of the fifth Test at The Oval. On a green-top that tested every batter, Nair played a composed, unbeaten knock of 52 off 98 balls—his first Test fifty in eight years. With the ball seaming throughout and India losing wickets regularly, Nair’s innings stood out for its grit and maturity. His partnership with Washington Sundar (19*) ensured India closed at 204 for six on a rain-affected day.

India vs England Live Score, 5th Test Match Day 2: India clawed their way back into the fifth and final Test at The Oval as pacers Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj claimed four wickets apiece to bowl England out for 247, just 23 runs ahead of India’s first-innings total of 224. England were cruising at 129/1 at one stage after a blistering 92-run opening stand between Zak Crawley (64) and Ben Duckett (43), but collapsed dramatically after lunch.
Prasidh, recalled for this match, returned 4/62, while Siraj ended with 4/86, including the final wicket of Harry Brook, who made a fighting 53 before being bowled. Chris Woakes, injured while fielding, did not bat.
India’s second innings was interrupted by bad light at 75/2, giving them a 52-run lead at stumps on Day 2. Yashasvi Jaiswal led the charge with a stroke-filled 51* off 49 balls, despite being dropped twice — on 20 by Brook at slip and on 40 by Dawson in the deep.
England were a bowler short with Woakes injured, and failed to capitalise on three catching chances. KL Rahul (7) and Sai Sudharsan (11) were the wickets to fall, while Jamie Overton and Gus Atkinson — who earlier took 5/33 in India’s first innings — were among the wicket-takers.
Earlier in the day, India’s lower order folded quickly, adding just 20 more runs for the last four wickets. A heated moment between Joe Root and Krishna also stood out during England’s innings, as tempers flared.
The Test — and the series — remain finely balanced heading into Day 3.
