Series Draw: India vs England Ends 2-2

After trailing in the early stages of the series, India bounced back strongly to secure a hard-fought draw. The final Test will be remembered for its tension-packed final session, quality batting from both sides, and Siraj’s game-changing bowling.

Siraj’s Match-Winning Spell on Day 5

England started the final day needing just 35 runs with three wickets in hand. With centuries from Joe Root (103) and Harry Brook (112), England looked set for victory.

But Mohammed Siraj had other ideas.

Jamie Smith edged a late-moving delivery to wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel.
Gus Atkinson followed next, edging just short of KL Rahul.
Jamie Overton was trapped LBW by a delivery that clipped the leg stump, ruled out on umpire’s call.

Siraj ended with impressive figures of 5 for 71, breaking England’s momentum completely.

Drama in the Final Overs

Prasidh Krishna returned to the attack and nearly had Josh Tongue LBW, but DRS overturned the decision. However, he didn’t have to wait long as he bowled Tongue in his next over, reducing England to 276 for 9, just 7 runs short of the target.

In a dramatic moment, Chris Woakes, injured while fielding on Day 1, came out to bat left-handed using only one hand. Atkinson attempted to take charge and even hit Siraj for a six, but was bowled shortly after, giving India a remarkable win.
