Brook and Root's zen-like batting, Indian pace fight back sets up fitting denouement to dramatic Test series at The Oval
How we got there though was the most electric day of cricket, a fitting denouement to a series that has promised much and been closely fought but in reality has lacked this sort of dramatic flair. read more Harry Brook and Joe Root slammed centuries and added 195 runs for the fourth wicket, nearly steering England to victory on Day 4 of the fifth Test at The Oval. Reuters Well good luck sleeping after that. India and England will return to The Oval on Day Five – the abandonment of play with so little left to run in the game adding a touch of farce to a . The equation: England need 35 runs, India three wickets plus potentially the scalp of a one-armed man – Chris Woakes' participation still a matter of speculation. How we got there though was the most electric day of cricket, a fitting denouement to a series that has promised much and been closely fought but in reality has lacked this sort of dramatic flair. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD England arrived needing 324 more runs from a target of 374, the sound of Zak Crawley's stumps still faintly clattering in their ears from the night before. History suggests nobody really chases that much – only nine larger targets have been successfully hunted down in Test history. But wait, not all was as it seems, one of those chases was a Bazballian masterclass against India themselves in 2022 and only four Tests ago in this series England chased down 371 to win at Headingley – history might be with them after all. From this almost cartoonishly alluring set up the day could surely only disappoint. Well no, as it happens… Brook, Root nearly take England home England started determinedly but a world away from the rat-a-tat scoring pace that they like to impose on the opposition – India's tricky trio of seamers making runs a commodity hard to come by. Every play and miss or half chance for the tourists greeted with cheers and whistles from the Indian half of a crowd with evenly divided loyalties. The anticipatory smell of wickets hung in the air. England were battling bravely but not going anywhere fast, the stoic fight of a team almost certainly heading to defeat but doing so with a stiff upper lip. The wickets did come, Duckett then Pope, England three down (plus Woakes) with victory still a speck on the horizon 268 runs away. The only thing that could rescue England was an unfathomably large partnership – a distant dream that Joe Root and Harry Brook soon set about delivering. Every boundary from Brook & Root's incredible partnership 🤝 195 runs 🏏 24 boundaries 💥 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) August 3, 2025 STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD It started with a moment of high drama, Brook caught on the boundary by Mohammad Siraj on 19, only for him to step on the rope – from out to six in the blink of a clumsily-placed stride – an almost unnecessarily cruel blow for India's most wholehearted competitor in this series. As reprieves go it looked like being game changing, suddenly Root and Brook were batting in a zen-like state, picking off singles wherever they pleased, toying with India as they ticked the runs and milestones down – Brook notching a 10th Test match hundred with half an hour to go before the tea break. With just 73 more needed it seemed England were going to do it with a hand tied behind their back – take note Chris Woakes – the drums, shouts and whistles from the once vociferous Indian section of the crowd a long forgotten memory. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Another twist in the tale This day though had more twists in store. Brook would go, the inevitability of an England win trudging back to the pavilion with him. The fervour of Indian support had been restored, suddenly the tourists were bowling on a minefield that had only just seemed like a road. Pacer Prasidh Krishna struck twice after tea on Day 4 of the fifth Test at The Oval, dismissing Jacob Bethell and a well-set Joe Root. Reuters It seemed Root bringing up his hundred had tipped the momentum back in England's favour, but India had other plans. Suddenly the runs that had flowed all day have never looked harder to come by, England were bogged down by India's relentlessly committed pace attack. Bethell went, then Root, the 35 runs England needed for victory seeming impossible when only a few hours before 200 had seemed like a formality. Then the rain, the gratification of a result in this Test delayed. The sickening thrill of a match whose status is now 'overnight' – cricket's magical limbo where anything could happen the next day. 35 runs or four wickets? Monday will have the answers.

Hospitality boom heats up in twin cities
1 2 Ahmedabad: The twin cities of Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar, positioning as a strategic business and tourism hub, are all set to add about 1,000 new branded room keys with global hotel chains expanding their presence and several properties being rebranded or revamped in this region. Ahmedabad – a potential host city for the 2036 Olympics, if India secures the bid – is seeing its skyline change. Leading the change is Marriott International, which recently unveiled a revamped Le Méridien hotel in Ramdevnagar, offering 164 keys. Formerly operating as Courtyard by Marriott, the property has been redesigned with an upscale aesthetic and renewed focus on guest experience. Another Courtyard property on Sindhu Bhawan Road has been deflagged and is reportedly undergoing a complete transformation under a new brand, sources told TOI. "The Ahmedabad market is maturing fast. We're seeing demand from not only business travellers but also lifestyle-conscious guests. That's pushing owners to rethink brand positioning," said an industry insider. You Can Also Check: Ahmedabad AQI | Weather in Ahmedabad | Bank Holidays in Ahmedabad | Public Holidays in Ahmedabad Sindhu Bhawan Road, in particular, is emerging as a hospitality hotspot. With office towers, luxury residences, and retail zones rapidly developing, hotel brands are moving in. Hyatt is likely to launch a Hyatt Place on this stretch, adding to its existing pipeline of projects in Sanand and the fast-growing GIFT City, as is learnt from source. "This rise in activity comes as Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar is being reshaped into a major business district. If India wins the 2036 Olympic bid, the region will likely see accelerated infrastructure investments and increased global visibility. There's a long-term view now: developers, brands, and investors are aligning to ensure that the region meets international hospitality standards," said travel industry expert Ankit Bajaj. TOI has also learnt that Marriott is in talks to add another property in the city along SG Highway under its MHRS (Marriott Hotels, Resorts & Suites) portfolio, as part of a broader push into high-growth Indian cities. Similarly, Hilton is exploring a second project in Ahmedabad following the success of its DoubleTree by Hilton at Bopal-Ambli Road. The group has already announced expansion plans across Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab, and Bihar under its Hampton brand. Email queries to Marriott and Hilton seeking specific details on their expansion plans went unanswered. In another sign of momentum, luxury hospitality player Atmosphere Core is considering entering Ahmedabad, claim industry insiders. Known for its experiential properties across South Asia, its arrival would further diversify the city's offerings. As Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar emerge as a business and administrative capital with GIFT City rising as a fintech nucleus, the hospitality sector in this market is redefining urban development and the scale of luxury offerings here.

Odias in US express concern over 25% tariffs on India
Bhubaneswar: The US's sweeping 25% tariffs on Indian exports have sparked concern among the Odia diaspora in North America, with professionals and entrepreneurs warning of far-reaching economic fallout. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Calling the move short-sighted, they fear it could fuel inflation in the US, hurt bilateral trade, and strain ties between the two nations at a time when global cooperation is critical. "The tariffs remind me of Kalidasa's branch-cutting metaphor. Experts feel it will harm the US more than India," said Debashis Sahoo, associate professor of computer science, engineering and paediatrics at the University of California, San Diego. Tariffs can lead to inflation by increasing the cost of imported goods and raw materials. When businesses face higher input costs due to tariffs, they often pass these on to consumers in the form of higher prices. "The prices of clothes, diamonds, and pharmaceuticals imported from India will increase, and consumers will end up paying more. However, the final effect still needs to be studied," said Akshaya Mohanty, a businessman from Rhode Island. Sanjay Dalai, an IT professional, said, "The tariffs will hurt US companies sourcing intermediate goods from India, such as automobile parts and IT hardware. Indian exporters will also suffer, particularly in sectors like steel, aluminium, engineering goods, textiles, and automobile parts." Dalai said that the move could adversely affect US-India relations, especially at a time when cooperation is crucial in technology, defence and critical minerals. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Sahoo said that if India imposes retaliatory tariffs, it could further harm US exporters by restricting access to key markets. "Together, these effects could weaken America's economic competitiveness and slow down growth," said Sahoo. He added that the resulting price hike is likely to fuel inflation and reduce consumer spending.
