India ended Day 3 of the 5th Test at The Oval with a 52-run lead, reaching 75/2 in their second innings. After being bowled out for 224, India’s bowlers Prasidh Krishna (4/60) and Mohammed Siraj (4/83) restricted England to 247. Yashasvi Jaiswal led the counterattack with an unbeaten 51 off 49 balls, surviving dropped catches. KL Rahul and Sai Sudharsan fell early, leaving Akash Deep (4*) to support Jaiswal. England’s fielding woes and Chris Woakes’ injury added pressure. With the series tied 2-2, India aims to build a commanding lead on Day 4 and push for a historic series win.
