India stormed back into contention on the final day of the fifth Test at The Oval, thanks to a fiery spell from Mohammed Siraj that left England teetering just short of the finish line. With only 35 runs required at the start of play, England looked poised to secure a memorable 3-1 series victory. But Siraj had other plans.
Bowling with purpose and precision, Siraj struck in his very first over of the morning to jolt the hosts. His outswinger to Jamie Smith was perfectly pitched, drawing the edge and flying straight into the gloves of wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel. The Indian fielders erupted in celebration, knowing they were right back in the contest. At that moment, England needed 27 runs and India just three wickets, and the match had burst back into life.
ABSOLUTE SCENES!!! ?
