Mohammed Siraj picked up the best bowling figures of his career when he took 9/190 to help India to a famous 6-run win in the 5th and final Test at the Oval on Monday. In addition to Siraj, Prasidh Krishna chipped in with four wickets with India drawing the series 2-2.
Chasing 374 runs, England were in a bit of a pickle at 106/3; however, Harry Brook and Joe Root launched the counter-attack to push India on the back foot. However, late last evening as the conditions turned conducive to bowling, India managed to pick three wickets, and today morning in a nerve-wrecking passage, India held their nerve.
Earlier in the game, Ollie Pope won the toss and opted to bowl first, and India were skittled to 224, and in reply, England managed 247 runs. However, in the second innings, Yashasvi Jaiswal slammed a brilliant ton to take India to 396, and England in reply were bundled out for 367 on the final day of the Test match.
