Akash Deep stops Ben Duckett and gives him uncomfortable send-off; Karthik, Atherton angry: 'If it was someone else...'
Akash Deep had the last laugh as he was finally able to send England opening batter Ben Duckett back to the pavilion on Day 2 of the fifth and final Test at the Oval, London. Crawley and Duckett came out all guns blazing after the hosts bundled out Shubman Gill's India for 224 in the first innings. A massive onslaught ensued as Crawley and Duckett sent the visitors on a leather hunt. Mohammed Siraj, Akash and Prasidh Krishna were sent to the cleaners as Crawley and Duckett brought out the T20 shots such as reverse ramps and scoops. Akash Deep's send-off to Ben Duckett raises eyebrows.(Screengrab - JioHotstar) However, Akash Deep had the final laugh as he finally dismissed the left-handed batter Duckett for 43 on the fifth ball of the 13th over. Duckett lost his wicket in trying to go for yet another reverse scoop. He edged the delivery to the keeper Dhruv Jurel. As a result of this wicket, the opening stand of 92 runs came to an end. This was the fourth time in Tests that Akash Deep dismissed Duckett. Akash Deep bowled a fullish delivery, and it nipped away. Duckett went for a shot that paid off earlier in the innings. However, he got a feather, and it went straight to Jurel, who completed an easy catch. Also Read: Washington Sundar refuses to leave the crease after getting dismissed by Gus Atkinson The Indian pacer first did a fist pump and then put his arm around Ben Duckett's shoulder. He also had a few words with him as the left-handed batter walked off the field. KL Rahul then came close towards Akash Deep to pull him away. This celebration was not aggressive, but it might just draw the attention of the match referee. Atherton, Dinesh Karthik slam Akash Deep Former cricketers Michael Atherton and Dinesh Karthik, who were on commentary at the time, did not appreciate Akash Deep's celebration as they asked the pacer to exercise caution. 'He's given Duckett a bit of a send-off, which is probably unnecessary, but it's the wicket that India desperately wanted. How many times did a bowler put his arm around after dismissing you, DK?,' said Atherton. On the other hand, Dinesh Karthik said, 'I'm not sure if this is the right way to send off a batter, especially after you've got him out. Not many batsmen would behave the way Ben Duckett did, or rather did. It looked like they knew each other really well." Earlier on Day 2, Gus Atkinson completed his five-wicket haul as England bundled out India for 224 in the first innings. Karun Nair was the top scorer for the visitors as he played a knock of 57 runs off 109 balls.

ENG vs IND 5th Test Day 2: Gus Atkinson hunts down Indian batters at Oval
The hosts, England, continued their stunning outing with the ball in the fifth Test of the 2025 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy as they finished India's first innings early on Day 2 by taking the remaining four wickets of the visitors while conceding just 20 runs, effectively bundling India out for just 224. After that, English openers subjected Indian pacers to extreme punishment with aggressive shots all around the ground, handing the hosts their natural Bazball-style start to the innings. All-round England takes control in morning session India started their day with the overnight score of 204 for 6. India looked in great form at the start before India's late collapse custom was put on display again after Karun Nair (57) and Washington Sundar (26) lost their wickets in back-to-back overs to Josh Tongue and Gus Atkinson, as India went from 218 for 6 to 220 for 8. Md Siraj (0) also lost his wicket to Atkinson before Prasidh Krishna (0) lost his wicket two balls later in the same over to bundle India out for just 224 and complete his fourth Test fifer. Atkinson's bowling figure of 5 for 33 is the second-best bowling effort by any English pacer against India at the Oval in Tests. In reply, the English opening pair of Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley got England off to a great start in response to India's below-par total. The duo added 92 runs in just 12.5 overs before Akash Deep got Ben Duckett (43) caught behind to hand India their first wicket of the innings. Meanwhile, Zak Crawley (52 not out) completed his fifty and added another 17 runs with skipper Ollie Pope (12 not out) for the second wicket as the session came to a close with England 105 for 1, trailing by 115 runs in the first innings.

England openers send Indian pacers on a leather hunt, 109/1 at lunch
London, Aug 1 (PTI) England openers Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett smashed the Indian pacers with absolute disdain on a seaming surface after bundling out the visitors for 224 in the first half hour of play on day two of the series deciding fifth Test here on Friday. Duckett (43 off 38) and Crawley (52 batting off 43) hit boundaries for fun on a green surface where Gus Atkinson took a deserving wicket haul by removing three Indian batters shortly after play began. The hosts raced to 109 for one in 16 overs at lunch, trailing India by 115 runs. The trio of Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna ran out of ideas against the onslaught from the England openers. Much to their relief, Duckett was caught behind 15 minutes before lunch attempting another reverse hit off Akash. The opening stand yielded 92 runs off just 77 balls. It was unusual to see Akash wrap his arm around Duckett and give him a send off with a smile on his face. Crawley collected five of his 12 fours off Siraj, including a straight drive, punch through the covers and flick towards mid-wicket. He completed his fifty with a boundary in the third man region off Akash. Duckett deliberately disturbed the pacers' rhythm by dancing down the track at will, using the cut on the charge twice against Akash. He pulled off a reverse scoop off Akash before playing a ramp off for a maximum off Siraj soon after. Ollie Pope joined Crawley in the middle and began with a couple of sweetly timed cover drives. In the first 30 minutes of play, India lost four wickets for just 20 runs after resuming the day at 204 for six. Overnight batters Karun Nair (57 off 109 balls) and Washington Sundar (26 off 55) perished in quick succession before Atkinson polished off the tail.
