🏏India tour of England 2025: 5th Test: Eng vs India- Oval, Day 4🏏 - Page 18

Dixy: "Maybe it's just me but pitch seems to be getting better for batting - England won't mind that considering they've got last use of it. " It's early to judge, but it's still only day three, so it's unlikely to start misbehaving just yet

Prateik Birthhare: Akash Deep is looking way more comfortable than many full time bowlers, I hope the Indian batting coach is making plans for him.

"Always fascinating to see how fielders who drop catches react. Some like Jaiswal (in Leeds) just keep staring at the ground looking for answers. Crawley is a screen starer. Everytime crowd goes ooh at the replays he turns around to watch his drop" says kaushik

Aby Mathew: "Such substandard catching by England. They don't deserve a win " Four drops in 25 overs is not very impressive

STAT: Four catches dropped by England inside the first 26 overs - the earliest they have dropped as many in an innings

Oh plz return some favour

Jaisu helped them in 1st match

Shadow-Shell: "Are you sure it's the pitch that is lifeless and not the England's spirit?" 50-50 right now!

Akram: "Akash doing exactly what Gautam Gambhir wants. Bat Deep." I see what you did there

Angad: "Of all the matches for an all rounder like Stokes to get injured, this one is probably the worst! With an injury to Woakes their bowling attack will be dependent on spinners on this track " Very true. This seam attack looks threadbare right now

Anans: ""This series is not just cricket--it's a chessboard where every session rewrites the script! From Bazball's bold charge to India's fiery young pace attack and tactical brilliance, it's been pure Test gold. Can't remember the last time England vs India felt this evenly matched and unpredictable. Historic rivalry, modern drama!"

Aman: who was that sub fielder in place of pope ? -- He is all-rounder Nathan Barnwell who plays domestic cricket with Surrey.
