5th Day of 5th Test Set to Decide India vs England Series

By Abhishek Kumar

India vs England 5th Test match has taken suspense now.
5th day of the 5th Test match will decide the series.
If India wins the match, the series finishes at 2-2. But if England wins, the series finishes 3-1 in favour of England.
In the match, England needs 35 runs to win, and India needs 4 wickets to create history.

An outside chance of rain in the match has been a headache for Team India. On Day 4, heavy rain started in the evening, and even the match was suspended due to bad light.
So, if rain comes and bad light affects Day 5, the series will go in favour of England.
Because if the match is drawn, the series finishes 2-1 in favour of England.

In the match, India scored 224 runs in the 1st innings, and England scored 247 runs.
England took a 23-run lead after the 1st innings.
But in the 2nd innings, India scored 396 runs and set a target of 374 runs for England.
At the end, England’s score is 339 with the loss of 6 wickets.
England needs 35 runs to win the match and India needs 4 wickets, including the injured Chris Woakes, who will come to bat if England needs him in the end.

In the series, Indian bowlers did not perform well as we expected from them.
They did not take wickets on time.
They also leaked too many runs in the series.
But at least the team expects they will perform well on the last day of the last match and take 4 wickets—so the series finishes 2-2.
