Siraj leads India to stunning win over England
Siraj was India's hero, dismissing Jamie Smith and Jamie Overton before bowling Gus Atkinson to complete a five-wicket-haul.
After Prasidh Krishna had bowled Josh Tongue for nought, Chris Woakes walked out to bat wearing a sling to protect his dislocated shoulder with 17 runs still needed.
Atkinson hit Siraj for six to give England brief hope and cleverly protected Woakes from the strike, but Siraj produced another brilliant yorker to earn India their narrowest-ever Test win.
"With 60, 70-odd runs to win with seven wickets in hand you don't get to see many games like this," India captain Shubman Gill said. "Very happy to get this over the line, a little bit of luck for us."
England, 301-3 at one stage, lost their last seven wickets for 66 runs, a collapse prompted by Harry Brook's reckless dismissal after he had made a superb century.
India suddenly had a chink of hope and they took full advantage, removing Jacob Bethell and Joe Root (105) before bad light and rain ended the fourth day early.
England still needed 35 runs to complete their second-highest Test run chase and by far the largest for any team on this ground.
The Oval was full for the final act of a series that fluctuated wildly over seven weeks and under grey skies in an atmosphere of unremitting tension as one of the most dramatic endings to a Test match duly played out.
It was fitting that Siraj was the main man for India because he had stepped over the boundary cushion after dropping Brook on 19 on Sunday, an error that looked likely to cost his team the game.
Woakes was the not out batsman having not faced a ball but running bravely in obvious pain.
"I didn't expect him to come out like that, batting with one hand. Kudos to him," Gill said after his team did a lap of honour.

Siraj leads India to stunning win over England
Mohammed Siraj was inspired as India took the last four wickets in under an hour to bowl England out for 367 and win an astonishing final Test by six runs to draw the series on Monday.

Siraj stars as India beat England by six runs in fifth-Test thriller
Mohammed Siraj was the hero as India beat England by just six runs in a thrilling fifth Test at the Oval on Monday to end a dramatic series level at 2-2. England arrived on the final day of the series needing just 35 runs with four wickets in hand to complete a remarkable chase of 374. But they were blown away on a morning of unbearable tension, with Siraj taking three wickets for nine runs to finish with figures of 5-104. The dramatic ending was a fitting finale to a series played out in less than seven weeks packed with drama from the first ball. "It just shows that both the teams came with their A-game and I am very happy to get over the line in this one," India captain Shubman Gill told Sky Sports. "When you have got bowlers bowling a spell like Siraj, captaincy seems easy." Mohammed Siraj celebrates with Dhruv Jurel and teammates after taking the wicket of England's Gus Atkinson. Reuters The series was also a personal triumph for Gill, who scored 754 runs, including four hundreds. England, who had been seemingly cruising to victory on Sunday when they were 301-3, were still favourites to win when play started under gloomy skies on Monday. Jamie Overton hit the first two balls of the day off Prasidh Krishna for four to immediately ease the pressure but England were soon reduced to 354-8 after Siraj struck twice to remove Jamie Smith and Overton. Josh Tongue was next to go and when injured last man Chris Woakes came in to bat with his left arm strapped up owing to an injured shoulder, England still needed 17 more runs for victory. Gus Atkinson hit a six off Siraj before England got the target down to single figures. But the paceman clean bowled Atkinson (17) to spark delirious scenes among the India team and their supporters. Non-stop drama The series started with England successfully chasing down a target of 371 to win at Headingley — the 10th highest fourth-innings run chase in Test history. India won the second Test at Edgbaston by a huge margin of 336 runs before England bounced back to win at Lord's, taking a 2-1 series lead.

AP England's time-wasting tactics during the third Test sparked the first of several flashpoints in an increasingly fiery series. In a drawn fourth Test at Old Trafford, memorable for an astonishing Indian rearguard action, England were angered by the tourists' refusal to agree a draw at the first opportunity. Both sides were hampered by fitness issues at the Oval decider, with England missing inspirational captain Ben Stokes because of a shoulder injury. "I'm bitterly disappointed we couldn't get over the line here, but I'm incredibly proud of my team and everything they've thrown into it," said Stokes. India were without Jasprit Bumrah after deciding to stick to their decision to only play the world's top-ranked Test bowler in three games of the series. But the lion-hearted Siraj, who featured in every match, seized his moment, ending the series as the leading bowler on either side with 23 wickets at 32.43. The paceman struck with his third ball on Monday to have a nervous Smith caught behind, leaving England 347-7. Overton fell next, lbw for nine to a Siraj delivery that angled into the batsman. Tailender Tongue was bowled by Krishna to leave India on the brink of victory before Siraj, appropriately, wrapped up the match, India's narrowest winning margin in a Test match. "From day one to here, everyone fought so hard so we are very happy,"Siraj said. "I just wanted to make sure I hit the right areas, the wickets would fall, and anything else would be a bonus. When I woke up I believed I could do it." England will be bitterly disappointed not to have got over the line after Harry Brook (111) and Joe Root (105) took the game by the scruff of the neck on Sunday. Brook's reckless dismissal was the beginning of a collapse, which ultimately proved decisive, with the home side losing their final seven wickets for just 66 runs. Agence France-Presse

Pacers lead the charge as India seal a thriller at The Oval ICC World Test Championship
Both teams entered Day 5 with victory firmly in sight - England needed just 35 runs, while India required 4 wickets. Jamie Overton looked to shift momentum early, smashing two quick boundaries to pile the pressure on India. However, Mohammed Siraj struck back in style, removing Jamie Smith to give India a much-needed breakthrough. Siraj then set up Jamie Overton brilliantly, trapping him lbw and swinging the momentum firmly in India's favour. Prasidh Krishna soon joined the action, delivering a searing yorker that rattled the stumps to dismiss Josh Tongue, bringing India within touching distance of a famous win. Chris Woakes heroically walked out to bat despite battling a shoulder injury, keeping England's hopes alive. Atkinson smashed a six against the run of play, cutting the target down to just 11 runs. Finally, Mohammed Siraj rattled the off stump of Gus Atkinson, handing India a memorable victory by the barest of margins - just 6 runs - and levelling the series 2-2 in thrilling fashion. Earlier in the Test, late collapses from both sides prevented either team from posting a substantial total in the first innings, with England eventually taking a slender 23-run lead. A brilliant century from Yashasvi Jaiswal, along with valuable contributions from the lower order, helped India set a challenging target of 374 for England to chase. The hosts looked in control of the pursuit with superb centuries from Joe Root and Harry Brook. However, a dramatic collapse late on Day 4 saw England lose their last seven wickets for just 66 runs, ultimately handing India a thrilling victory. The series began at Headingley with a high-scoring thriller that went down to the wire. India posted a mammoth 471 in their first innings, thanks to centuries from captain Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant. England responded with a strong 465, with Ollie Pope scoring a hundred. In the second innings, India again looked to set a big target with centuries from KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, but a late collapse saw them all out for 364. This left England with a chase of 371 on the final day, which they completed with five wickets in hand, led by a sensational 149 from Ben Duckett and recorded their second highest highest chase in Test cricket. The series moved to Edgbaston, where India bounced back in a commanding fashion to level the series. After being put in to bat, India piled on a massive 587, with Shubman Gill scoring a brilliant 269 and Ravindra Jadeja adding 89. Debutant Akash Deep was the star with the ball, taking 10 wickets in the match as he ran through England's batting lineup twice. The hosts were bowled out for 407 and 271, falling to a heavy 336-run defeat. The pendulum swung back in England's favour at Lord's in a low-scoring, tense affair. The first innings saw both teams post exactly 387 runs, with Joe Root scoring a hundred for England and KL Rahul doing the same for India. The game was ultimately decided in the second innings. Washington Sundar's four-wicket haul helped India restrict England to just 192, setting up a chase of 193. However, India's batting collapsed dramatically under pressure, and despite a valiant 61 from Ravindra Jadeja, they were all out for 170. Ben Stokes was the hero for England with an exceptional all-round display, taking a five-wicket haul and scoring a crucial 33, earning him the Player of the Match award as England took a 2-1 series lead. The fourth Test at Old Trafford was an epic of survival for India. After India were bundled out for 358, England's top-order went on a rampage, posting a mammoth 669 with centuries from Joe Root and Ben Stokes. With a first-innings deficit of 311, India's second innings saw them in deep trouble, but a gritty stand by KL Rahul and captain Shubman Gill kept them in the game. It was followed by the resistance of Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar that secured a memorable draw on the final day. ICC World Test ChampionshipICC World Test Championship, 2025/27News
