00:00This remarkable series.
00:02Splashed! Plenty of words from Rupert.
00:05An absolute jaffa. Magnificent bringing up.
00:09This series is about to get its most dramatic end.
00:13Bowling!
00:18We're going to have a bowl first.
00:20Welcome to the Oval for the final test of what has been an absolutely fascinating contest.
00:26In conditions that feel very bowler friendly for the first time.
00:32Inside edge.
00:35Impact is in line.
00:37It's hitting the wickets.
00:39You'll be overturning your original decision.
00:41An early wicket.
00:47Bowling! Off the inside edge. That's a huge wicket for England.
00:51That's close. It doesn't get much better than that.
00:54And as we speak, I think the rain's coming down pretty hard.
00:57Well, this has come from absolutely nowhere. It is heavy.
01:06Oh, trouble here. And he's gone. What a way to go.
01:09Subman Gill just slipped, but he is well short of his ground.
01:13Disaster for India. Great out cricket from Atkinson.
01:17Sunshine, and we're about to see some cricket.
01:29Oh, that's a beauty. Now, out of nowhere, he's produced an absolute jaffa.
01:36Same again from Josh Tung. He has produced two unplayable deliveries.
01:48Edged and gone. And Harry Brook, very safe at slip.
01:53Oh, he's hurt himself there. You can see the agony on his face.
02:00And a real issue for him, look.
02:02A beautiful knock in tricky conditions.
02:05And the maiden it is to finish an enthralling day of test match cricket.
02:10Will walk off with six wickets.
02:17Day two of this fifth and final test at the Oval will be special.
02:20Today we will remember Surrey and England legend Graham Thorpe.
02:27Oh, that's a good shot. Very good shot.
02:30That's in the air. And taken in the deep.
02:38High quality from Atkinson.
02:41And he gets it.
02:43It's blown in there with.
02:44And a fine wicket haul for Gus Atkinson.
02:46It's going to be a fascinating challenge.
02:48The bowlers have it in their favour here.
02:53And to counteract again, we're bringing a little bit of the innovation.
02:56Oh, that is hit with such conviction.
03:00Problems for India.
03:03Crawley's going to keep playing his shots too.
03:05England are motoring.
03:07Scoops.
03:09Extraordinary shot.
03:12I think he scooped this one straight into the keeper's gloves.
03:16And he's given Duckett a bit of a send-off.
03:19That brings up his 50.
03:22We've had 129 runs and five wickets.
03:24So, all-action cricket.
03:27Takes the catch.
03:28It was coming.
03:29Krishna picks up his first wicket.
03:32Passed a diving gully again.
03:34And a few words.
03:35Very rare.
03:36You see that from Joe Root.
03:37He's fired up.
03:40Has it done too much?
03:43England have lost a period with it.
03:44And a very good review from India.
03:46Collided.
03:47Just past second slip for four.
03:50Oh, that's very close.
03:51That's given.
03:52That's excellent bowling from Mohamed Siraj.
03:58Oh, full straight.
03:59Really close.
04:00Siraj's left a bit allowed.
04:02Given out.
04:04Oh, out.
04:05Big wicket for India.
04:09Oh, close and out.
04:10They've really dragged themselves back into this test match.
04:14In the air.
04:15Taken at mid-on.
04:16Krishna's deserved that.
04:18What a shot that is.
04:20And an important inning is this.
04:24Got him.
04:25Mohamed Siraj has led this fight back.
04:27And this now is a key part of the day.
04:30Oh, edge.
04:31And out.
04:32Nicely taken from Root at first slip.
04:37Oh, pinned in.
04:38Surely, yes.
04:40And something was said.
04:42This series keeps on giving.
04:46But the light has closed in.
04:4875 for two at Stuntz.
04:50On day two, India's lead is 52.
04:52Day three.
04:57The final test match of this enthralling series between England and India.
05:04India.
05:05Lead by 52.
05:07And there is the intent.
05:11And frustration for England.
05:14Akash deep.
05:15He's got his maiden.
05:16Test match 50.
05:17And it is.
05:22Gus Atkinson.
05:23There's the breakthrough that England needed.
05:25What a session for India.
05:26114 runs coming.
05:27Just the one wicket loss.
05:31And straight away after lunch.
05:33England have struck.
05:35That's cut hard.
05:39Outstanding young players.
05:41Yes.
05:42As well.
05:45And England have clung on this time.
05:49Jamie Overton is in the perfect position.
05:52The end.
05:53A magnificent hundred.
05:56And at T India have pushed just past the 300 mark.
06:01India lose a wicket and they lose all their reviews.
06:05And that is a 50 for Ravindra Jadeji.
06:07Done this time.
06:12England are still in there.
06:14Full.
06:15Straight.
06:16And out.
06:20He's hit that beautifully.
06:22This has gone even further.
06:24This is magnificent.
06:25Smashed.
06:27That has gone miles.
06:31There's two underneath it.
06:32Crawley.
06:33Claims it.
06:34That has been a fabulous passage of play for India.
06:37Let's see how this plays out.
06:41He's laced that back at a point.
06:46Just give it the full face.
06:51Oh, he's bowled in.
06:52Muhammad Saraj summons up a magic moment.
06:56Ends up being the final ball of day three.
06:59Crawley goes for 14.
07:00England.
07:02Stumps.
07:0350 for one.
07:05Come here tomorrow.
07:06Sort of dream the dream sort of thing.
07:08And yeah, why not?
07:09We'll give it a good crack tomorrow.
07:11England and India lock horns today for perhaps the last time in a series that has given us so much.
07:17This test is on a knife edge.
07:21Drives into the gap.
07:22This has been a fascinating battle this morning.
07:25And that boundary takes Benducket to 50.
07:31Edged.
07:32Taken.
07:33Big, big moment this.
07:35Lovely shot, Monty Pope.
07:37England are flowing now.
07:41Huge cheer from the Indian supporters.
07:43Up and over.
07:46Up and over.
07:49And it is.
07:50No, it's not.
07:51It's Sig Seraja.
07:52And he steps on the boundary line with ball in hand.
07:55And Brooks survives.
07:57And it is Brute and Brook that see out the first Sessions play at the start of day four.
08:03Beautiful time through mid-wicket.
08:06Brings up Harry Brooks 50.
08:09Runs.
08:11When England need an innings of note, it is Joe Brute that so often steps up.
08:18And he kicks it into the pass.
08:20And that tells you the story.
08:26And that's a magnificent 100 here.
08:29Difficult pitch.
08:31Game on the line.
08:32Harry Brooks stands tall.
08:33He's in a hurry now.
08:37A chance here.
08:39Comfortable catch to Siraj.
08:40But what a knock.
08:41Is that the breakthrough that India needed though?
08:43Oh, that's a good shout.
08:45Might have just been struck outside.
08:47Tea time taken.
08:49And Joe Brute still there.
08:5098 not out.
08:54The 39th test match 100 for Joe Brute.
08:56A truly magnificent cricketer in the form of his life.
09:04Ball dead.
09:05Could see it coming.
09:07And India get another breakthrough.
09:09England still need 42.
09:12Edged and taken.
09:14And India fighting.
09:16England still needing 37 runs.
09:19I think it's bad light rather than rain.
09:22Players are going off.
09:23Stumps have been confirmed.
09:26Can you believe it?
09:28But it is what it is.
09:29We go again tomorrow.
09:32The fifth and final day.
09:35The fifth and final test match in this remarkable series.
09:39England require 35 runs.
09:42India four wickets.
09:4335 goes to 31 needed.
09:50What a start.
09:54Make that 27 needed.
09:59Has he knocked it?
10:01Siraj thinks so.
10:03They needed an early one India.
10:04They got an early one.
10:06No!
10:10Couldn't quite get his fingers under the ball.
10:14This is fabulous stuff.
10:16This is nail biting stuff.
10:21Give him!
10:23This is an excellent shot.
10:25Unbelievable scenes at the oval.
10:28No!
10:29Give him!
10:32Missing the wickets.
10:34Everyone's under pressure.
10:37Oh!
10:38He's bowled him!
10:40This is brilliant from India.
10:42And this series is about to get its most dramatic end.
10:47Chris Watts makes his way into the Kennington Orwell.
10:55It's over Mid-On.
10:57It's gone for six.
10:58An amazing blow from Atkinson.
11:04Oh, it's wide.
11:05And they're running through.
11:06My brother's missed.
11:08But he's made it and Atkinson is on strike.
11:13Comes back for the second.
11:14He's hurting.
11:15You can see he's hurting.
11:17This is an unreal effort.
11:21Atkinson to huge cheers.
11:24And will have the strike again.
11:33Hold him!
11:35And would you believe it?
11:36It is Mohamed Siraj.
11:39The lion-hearted Siraj who has led this attack throughout.
11:42He finishes the game.
11:45It is a famous win for India.
11:47This series is tied.
11:51It doesn't get any harder than five tests against a very good side.
11:54And this has been watched by hundreds of millions of people around the world.
11:58And it's been one of the most captivating series that I've ever been a part of.
12:02I think the boys are hurting.
12:04Not getting on the right side of the result.
12:06But it's another week to look back on.
12:08And it was two strong teams going at it for five days.
12:11And unfortunately just came up short.
12:132-2 in the end was probably a fair reflection for the series.
