ENG vs IND 5th Test Result: 

• India: 224 and 396
• England: 247 and 367
• India won by 6 runs

India skipper Shubman Gill and England captain Ben Stokes came for the final photoshoot together with the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy as the series ended 2-2. India pulled out a stunning performance to snatch the much-needed victory right from the jaws of the Three Lions.

Credit goes to Mohammed Siraj and the pace bowling department of Team India. Without their timely strikes, India could have lost the match at The Oval. Actually, the series itself was full of lots of 'what could have been' moments for both India and England. A draw is the perfect settlement to conclude an evenly fought rivalry—no loser, no winner, pure cricket.

The home team nicely positioned themselves for another win as long as Joe Root and Harry Brook were on the track. Their wickets proved to be one of the deciding factors of the final test. Behind India's gallant fightback, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna formed as a formidable force to lead their team to glory, leading from the front. From 301/4 to 367 for 10, for 66 runs, the host lost their remaining wickets.

Words from captain's mouth

The skipper of England, Ben Stokes, who was ruled out of the match due to injury, said after the match, "It’s always difficult when you can’t actively participate in a game, but it was another hard-fought contest that went right down to Day 5." 

Team India captain Shubman Gill said on the occasion, "Every game went into the final day, which shows both sides came with their A-game. The captaincy becomes much easier when you have bowlers like Siraj and Prasidh in the side. The way they responded was magnificent."
