India : in what panned out to be a fascinating day of Test cricket, an all-round effort from the Indian cricket team helped them pull off a historic comeback win over England on the fifth and final day of Ind vs Eng 4th Test at The Oval on Monday. India bowled out England for 210 inside three sessions to win the Oval Test by 157 runs and go 2-1 up in the five-match Test series.
Brilliant display of batting from Rohit and KL Rahul in India’s 2nd innings helped India set a massive target of 368. The Indian bowlers, especially in batting-friendly conditions, bowled their hearts out to produce a remarkable performance. England kept on losing wickets in regular intervals and could never make a comeback after losing both its openers. Ravindra Jadeja (2/50), Umesh Yadav (3/60), Shardul Thakur (2/22) and Jasprit Bumrah (2/27) played the starring roles.
In the history of Test cricket at The Oval, no team has ever succeeded in chasing a 300-plus target in the fourth innings.The highest score that has been chased down at The Oval in Test cricket is 263.
For the last 44 years, India has not lost a single Test match after taking a lead of more than 300, they have won all 34 games so far and today they registered their 35th win. In 1977-78, Australia had defeated India by chasing down 342 runs.
Earlier on day 4, India were bowled out for 466 in their 2nd innings, setting England a target of 368 on Sunday. At Stumps on Day 4, England were 77/0 and needed 291 runs to win.
Chasing such a stiff target, England openers batted well against the new ball and got off to a great start, helping England cross the 100-run mark in the first 30 minutes of the final day. However, all-rounder Shardul Thakur broke the solid stand in his first over of the day, dismissing Rory Burns with a peach of a delivery.
Just a few overs later, hesitation and confusion between Hameed and Burns resulted in a disaster for the hosts as a fiery throw from Mayank Agarwal to keeper Rishabh Pant resulted in Dawid Malan getting out for just 5 runs.
