We're into the last day and the game is equally poised. Both teams are pushing hard for a result, you can't expect a lot more. All we need is an early wicket, or even if we get a couple of wickets in the middle, the pressure will be on them. We'll need to keep pushing them back. There can be a bit of reverse swing with the older ball, there's enough foot-holes and Jadeja will be obviously bowling into the rough. I think there could be a bit of reverse swing on offer later today.

Stat Attack!

Joe Root is just 27 runs away from 5,000 Test runs at home | Jasprit Bumrah is just one scalp away from 100 Test wickets

15:03 (IST) Sep 06

It's a beautiful morning here in London. The batsmen should really enjoy batting on this surface. It's still a good batting pitch. There are some footholes for Jadeja to exploit, especially against the left-handers. India will have to bowl really well to force a win today.

When the Indian tail wagged

14:45 (IST) Sep 06

The battle is on

14:44 (IST) Sep 06

England captain Joe Root eventually had Thakur edging his occasional off-spin to Craig Overton at slip before Pant, batting responsibly after repeatedly giving his wicket away this series, was caught and bowled by Moeen

14:40 (IST) Sep 06

Thakur's third fifty in four Tests came in just 65 balls, including five fours and a superb straight six off seamer Ollie Robinson

14:38 (IST) Sep 06

Even James Anderson, Test cricket's most successful fast bowler, was made to look every one of his 39 years when Thakur hoisted him through deep mid-wicket, with the ball no longer deviating in the air or off the pitch

14:33 (IST) Sep 06

For Thakur, fit following a hamstring injury that had kept him out since the drawn first Test in Nottingham, it was his second fifty of the match following his 57 in India's first-innings 191

14:15 (IST) Sep 06

Pant (50) and Thakur (60), however, shared a partnership of 100 in just 155 balls

14:05 (IST) Sep 06

When India captain Virat Kohli was caught at slip off spinner Moeen for 44 - his 21st successive Test innings without a hundred -- India had a healthy but not unassailable lead of 213 runs

13:51 (IST) Sep 06

But Ben Stokes, whose unbeaten century saw England to that thrilling one-wicket win two years ago, is not playing in this series while the all-rounder takes a mental health break from all cricket

The most England have made more to win in the fourth innings of a Test is 362-9, requiring 359, against Australia at Headingley in 2019

12:26 (IST) Sep 06

With all results possible on Day 5, the odds are still in India's favour

12:25 (IST) Sep 06

Left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja bowled tidily but without success in a spell of 0-28 in 13 overs

12:25 (IST) Sep 06

India have again omitted off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, a bowler with 413 Test wickets to his credit but yet to feature this series, on an Oval pitch renowned for taking turn late in the game

12:25 (IST) Sep 06

But Rory Burns was 31 not out on his Surrey home ground and fellow opener Haseeb Hameed 43 not out to set up a tantalising finish, with this five-match series already intriguingly poised at 1-1

12:25 (IST) Sep 06

India piled up 466 in their second innings, with Rishabh Pant and Shardul Thakur sharing a stand of exactly 100
