IND vs ENG 5th Test: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Zak Crawley and Ollie Pope caught in fiery exchange
Tensions flared at The Oval as India went to lunch on Day 3 at 189 for 3, with
Yashasvi Jaiswal
unbeaten on 85 and captain
Shubman Gill
newly at the crease. But the biggest moment of the session wasn't just the runs — it was the drama.
Nightwatchman Akash Deep stole the show with a spirited 66 off 94 balls, reaching his maiden Test fifty and frustrating a depleted England attack. He and Jaiswal stitched a rapid 107-run partnership, taking full control of the morning session. His innings ended only when

forced a miscued pull that Gus Atkinson caught comfortably at point.

But just as the players walked off for lunch,
Zak Crawley
and
Ollie Pope
were seen in a heated exchange with Jaiswal.
The opener, seen limping in the final over and possibly trying to waste time, seemed to spark frustration from the England camp. Crawley in particular was animated, a pattern of needle continuing from the Third Test, where he and Shubman Gill had also shared words.
Ironically, Crawley himself had earlier dropped Akash Deep at third slip and has been spotted slowing the game on several occasions through the series.
Poll
What impact do you think Akash Deep's innings had on the game?
Significant advantage for India
Minimal impact
Boosted team morale
The surface today looked flatter, with fewer seam movements, giving India the chance to build a dominant lead, which at the break has swelled past 100. With Jaiswal still looking good and England short on bowling due to Woakes' injury, the visitors will look to drive home their advantage in the afternoon.

Akash Deep Joins Elite Club Of Shane Warne, Imran Khan With Impressive Show In England
Akash Deep, walking as a night watchman in the third session of the fifth and final Test on Day 2 of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy against England on Friday, made the most of a reprieve and went on to score a gritty half-century. With his maiden Test 50, Akash Deep joins an elite list along, Hugh Trumble, Shane Warne, Imran Khan, Keith Miller and Richard Hadlee to become the 12th player with a ten-fer during a match and a fifty on an England tour. Deep, with a first-class average of 11.48 before the Oval Test, is just the fourth Indian to score a men's Test fifty at No.4 in England this century, joining Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill. Deep mesmerised one and all with a ten-wicket haul in a critic-silencing, era-defining win over England at Edgbaston by 336 runs, their first-ever Test win at the venue last month. During the Test match, Akash set a massive record, delivering India's best spell ever in England. The pacer etched his name in the record books by registering the best bowling figures in a match for India in England, surpassing the long-standing record held by Chetan Sharma. Deep's match figures of 10/187 edged past Sharma's 10/188. Indian batter Yashasvi Jaiswal and Akash Deep slammed a brilliant 100-run stand for the third wicket in the fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy against England on Saturday, at the Oval. This was the 18th hundred partnership in this ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, the most in a Test series in this century (since 2000), surpassing 17 in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in 2003-04. The duo added 107 runs for the third wicket before Atkinson removed Deep on the stroke of lunch for a brilliant 66 off 94 balls, including 12 fours. Deep is also the first Indian nightwatchman to score 50-plus runs since Amit Mishra (84 runs) against the same opponent at the same venue back in 2011. Coming to the match, a stellar maiden fifty in Test cricket by night watchman Akash Deep and a 100-plus partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal helped India to finish on 189-3, leading by 166 runs at the end of the first session on Day 4 in the fifth test against England on Saturday. The duo added 107 runs for the third wicket before Atkinson removed Deep on the stroke of lunch for a brilliant 66 off 94 balls, including 12 fours. India started Day 3 on 75/2, with Yashasvi Jaiswal (51*) and night-watchman Akash Deep (4*) unbeaten on the crease, leading by 52 runs.

Yashasvi Jaiswals 118-run knock guides India to 304/6 against England at Tea on Day 5; visitors lead by 281 runs
London [UK], August 2 (ANI): Young Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal's exceptional innings of 118 runs gave India an upper hand after the end of the second session in the fifth and final Test of the Anderson Tendulkar Trophy 2025, which is being played at the Kennington Oval in London on Saturday. At the stroke of Tea on Day 3 of The Oval Test, Team India are 304/6 with Ravindra Jadeja and Dhruv Jurel unbeaten on the crease. After the end of the session, the Shubman Gill-led side led by 281 runs. The visitors started the second session from 189/4 with Jaiswal (85*) and Gill (11*) unbeaten on the crease. India didn't have a good start to the session as they lost the wicket of Gill (11 runs off 9 balls). He was dismissed by the bowling of Gus Atkinson. Team India touched the 200-run mark in their 48th over. In the 51st over, Yashasvi Jaiswal completed his ton in 127 balls. In the 55th over at the score of 229, Karun Nair (17 runs from 32 balls) was sent back to the pavilion as he was dismissed by Atkinson. On the fourth ball of the 58th over, Jaiswal slammed a boundary, which brought his team's 250 in the innings. In the 65th over at the score of 273, Jaiswal (118 runs in 164 balls) was dismissed on the bowling of Josh Tongue. Following Jaiswal's dismissal, the team's wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel came out to bat. He joined left-hand batter Ravindra Jadeja on the crease. The Indian cricket team touched the 300-run mark just before Tea as Jurel smashed 13 runs in an over, which was bowled by Tongue. Both batters, Jurel and Jadeja, built an unbeaten 31(40) partnership before going back after the end of the second session. For the Three Lions so far, Atkinson has snapped three wickets (3/99 in 23 overs), Tounge has grabbed two wickets (2/100 in 26 overs), and Jamie Overton has bagged one wicket (1/74 in 18 overs) in their respective spells. Earlier, India started Day 3 on 75/2, with Yashasvi Jaiswal (51*) and night-watchman Akash Deep (4*) unbeaten on the crease, leading by 52 runs. Jaiswal carried on his good form from overnight; meanwhile, England have endured an innings to forget in the field, dropping as many as four catches. India crossed the 100-run mark in the 23rd over. Jaiswal pushed the ball for a couple of runs off Gus Atkinson. In the 30th over, the duo of Jaiswal and Deep completed a 50-run stand for the third wicket. Deep slammed a four off Atkinson to bring up his maiden fifty in Test cricket. This was the 18th hundred partnership in this series, the most in a Test series in this century (since 2000), surpassing 17 in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in 2003-04. Indian skipper Shubman Gill joined Jaiswal after the departure of Deep. Earlier in the match, four-wicket hauls from Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna and an attacking half-century from Yashasvi Jaiswal put India at the driver's seat at the end of the second day's play during the fifth Test against England at The Oval on Friday. At the end of the day's play, India was 75/2, with Jaiswal (51*) and night-watchman Akash Deep (4*) unbeaten. They lead by 52 runs. In their first innings, England had scored 247 in response to India's 224. However, Prasidh Krishna (4/62) and Mohammed Siraj (4/86) bowled exceptionally well to deny England a massive lead and triggered a batting collapse. The final session of the day kicked off with England being 215/7, with Harry Brook (33*) joined by Gus Atkinson, a capable lower-order hitter. Brief Scores: India: 224 and 304/6 (Yashasvi Jaiswal 118, Akash Deep 66; Gus Atkinson 3/99) vs England: 247 (Zak Crawley 64, Harry Brook 53; Prasidh Krishna 4/62). (ANI)
