The final day saw high tension as India’s pace duo, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna, picked up the last four England wickets to seal a famous victory. England, chasing a record 374, were on 339 for six at stumps on Day 4 after bad light and heavy rain ended play early. However, India made a strong comeback on Day 5 to bowl them out for 367 in 85.1 overs.
Siraj was the standout performer for India. He took 5 for 104 and finished as the highest wicket-taker in the series with 23 wickets. Prasidh Krishna provided key support with 4 for 126 under pressure. England’s Chris Woakes came out to bat at number 11 with his left shoulder in a sling. Despite the injury, he showed courage but could not take his team past the finish line.
The match was the perfect conclusion to a tightly fought series. England began with a five-wicket win in Leeds. India bounced back with a 336-run victory in the second Test at Birmingham. England regained the lead with a 22-run win at Lord’s. India then held their nerve in Manchester to draw the fourth Test before clinching the finale at The Oval.
