We'll are back here - with England needing 35 runs and India needing 4 wickets (3 if Woakes won't bat). Another fascinating fifth day finish loading.

Our bowlers gifted too many runs to them. In fact, in every over nearly 1or 2 fours, that is why, it is looking like easy to score 370 runs!!

24 days! 24 days have passed in a fiercely contested series and we are still nowhere close to knowing which team will be the victor. The fifth and final Test has also gone into the fifth and final day, and the equation now is simple. England need 35 runs to win, India need 4 wickets (3 if Chris Woakes won't bat). The jaded looking Indian seamers seemed to get a new lease of life last evening when they broke the marauding partnership between Root and Brook. It looked like Prasidh and Siraj might get a wicket every ball for a patch of play last evening, before bad light and a bit of a drizzle come to England's rescue. Jamie Smith and Jamie Overton will come out fresh, hopefully to much clearer skies and more importantly to a freshly heavy roller flattened pitch. The Indian pacers too would be rearing to go for one last dance after a good night's rest

Pitch Report | Cheteshwar Pujara: Day 5 at The Oval and the conditions are cloudy. It is overcast and quite chilly today. The colour of the grass has changed and you can see more brown patches. England have the option of taking the heavy roller, while India can take the second new ball soon enough. Only 35 runs to get, but if India can take a couple of quick wickets then the game can get very interesting. Whichever team will handle the pressure moments better will end up winning.

Wah, first 2 balls fetched them 8 runs, two fours!!

Prasidh started gifting them this match!!

He has been leaking runs..

Why was hell was he given opportunity to play in this series?

Would definitely see the faces of Gautam G and Shubman G after the series loss..

Siraj to Jamie Overton, out Lbw!! Jeez!! By the barest of margins. A fuller delivery and that was the nip backer. Overton shuffles inwards and gets struck on the pads as the bat was nowhere in line with that ball. Jamie Overton lbw b Siraj 9(17) [4s-2]

Siraj to Jamie Overton, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

Given out LBW and England have reviewed!! Umpire Kumar Dharmasena reluntantly raised his finger, took a while. Will it just sneak onto leg stump? Umpire's call on impact. OUT!!

Eng lost 8 wickets!!

8 down
