Rishabh Pant provided special moment in the whole series. He's been tremendous throughout but to see him hobble out there to continue to bat is remarkable. I can only imagine what is going on in that boot.

Rishabh Pant has probably added about 30-40 runs that could be very significant in the context of this game.

Foot or no foot, I think I've identified a weakness in Pant's game. It's deliveries bowled at 90mph from round the wicket, angling in, nipping away and just clipping the top of off stump. Work to be done there, I'd say...

Just a little prod from Rishabh Pant, Jofra Archer is delighted to get that one. The brave run from Rishabh Pant comes to an end, every run precious for India. He's extracted as many as he could.

This is Ben Stokes' fifth five-fer in 115 Test matches. It's his first since 2017 where he had a six-fer against the West Indies at Lords. This is his 76th Test since his last five-fer. He's taken the most wickets in this series compared to any other that he's played in, he currently has 16.

Women's Euros: Calls for extra bank holiday as Lionesses successfully defend their title

The prime minister's being urged to declare a bank holiday after England successfully defended the Women's Euros title with a dramatic win over Spain. Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey has said an additional day off would be a fitting way of honouring a "stunning achievement" by the Lionesses. But with estimates suggesting an extra bank holiday would cost the economy £2.4bn, it's understood such a move isn't being planned by Downing Street. England fans were left in a state of euphoria after watching Sarina Wiegman's side become back-to-back champions following a nail-biting match. Alessia Russo had managed to score an equaliser in the 57th minute, leading to a penalty shootout after neither team managed to pull ahead in extra time. Chloe Kelly scored the winning spot-kick following two huge saves from goalkeeper Hannah Hampton, resulting in a 3-1 win on penalties. Although a bank holiday might not be on the cards, there are plans to celebrate the squad's triumphant homecoming from Switzerland. An open-top bus parade will be held in London tomorrow lunchtime along The Mall - culminating in a ceremony at the Queen Victoria Memorial in front of Buckingham Palace. Fans can attend for free, and Sky News will broadcast it live. 1:25 PM: 'You've made the nation proud' Sir Keir Starmer was among the millions cheering on the Lionesses, and congratulated the team for their second consecutive win at the Euros. "What a team. What a game. What drama," he said. "You dug deep when it mattered most and you've made the nation proud. History makers." Prince William and Princess Charlotte, who attended the final at St Jakob-Park in Basel, added: "What a game! "Lionesses, you are the champions of Europe and we couldn't be prouder of the whole team. Enjoy this moment England." King Charles also shared his "most heartfelt congratulations" on the Royal Family's official X account. He wrote: "For more years than I care to remember, England fans have sung that famous chant 'football's coming home'. "As you return home with the trophy you won at Wembley three years ago, it is a source of great pride that, through sporting skill and awesome teamwork, the Lionesses have made those words ring true. "For this, you have my whole family's warmest appreciation and admiration. More than that, though, you have shown through your example over past weeks that there are no setbacks so tough that defeat cannot be transformed into victory, even as the final whistle looms." The King went on to set a fresh mission for the Lionesses, writing: "The next task is to bring home the World Cup in 2027 if you possibly can!" Fans, players (and managers!) celebrate In pubs and living rooms across the country, supporters stood on tables, waved flags and threw their drinks in the air - revelling in the fact that football is staying home. Tower Bridge was lit up in red and white, and at a presentation ceremony, star striker Michelle Agyemang was named young player of the tournament. The 19-year-old had just one England cap before the Euros, and scored crucial equalisers as the Lionesses came from behind in the quarter-final and semi-final. Victory for the Lionesses is also a huge achievement for Sarina Wiegman, who has now led squads to the Euros trophy three times: The Netherlands once, and England twice. The Dutchwoman admitted that no tournament had been more "chaotic" and "ridiculous" than this one - and revealed her plans to celebrate at a post-match news conference. "I'll do some more dancing," said Wiegman. "And I'll have a drink, but I don't think I will drink as much as the players."

India pair Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja dent England's hopes of victory

Ben Stokes defied a problem with his right shoulder to dismiss KL Rahul for 90 and end a 188-run stand with Shubman Gill, who was out for 103 on the stroke of lunch in the fourth Rothesay Test. Jadeja was dropped by Joe Root off his first ball and he and fellow all-rounder Sundar settled India's nerves, taking them to tea on 322 for four – wiping out a 311-run first-innings deficit to lead by 11. The situation at tea ☕️ India lead by 1️⃣1️⃣ still require 6️⃣ wickets. Big final session needed 💪 🇮🇳 3️⃣2️⃣2️⃣-4️⃣ — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 27, 2025 Sundar, promoted to number five with Rishabh Pant injured, ended the session on 57 not out with Jadeja unbeaten on 53, leaving England facing the prospect of just a second draw in the Bazball era – both at Emirates Old Trafford following the 2023 Ashes washout. Aside from the prize scalp of Gill, England could not cash in on the second new ball, taken 40 minutes before lunch, with Liam Dawson offering containment but unable to exploit the foot holes on a fifth-day pitch. Indeed, Stokes offered the most threat, especially at the start of the day. There were doubts about whether he would even bowl after struggling with cramp and soreness in his left leg in Manchester. More fitness concerns became apparent after Liam Dawson started the day, with Stokes rubbing his shoulder following his first over then straightening his arm frequently from then on. Stokes might have had Gill on 81 but a drive burst through a leaping Ollie Pope's hands at cover to give Gill his second reprieve, having been put down on 46 by Dawson on Saturday. But variable bounce was increasingly in play and Rahul was struck on the knee roll by a delivery that jagged back and kept low, with an already-celebrating Stokes not even turning back to see umpire Rod Tucker's finger being raised. Gill wore a painful blow to his bruised right hand and helmet after another delivery from Stokes leapt off a length, but the India captain soldiered on to a ninth ton in 36 Tests. Alongside Sundar, Gill took India into safer waters and the deficit into double digits after England had taken the new ball without much reward. However, Gill then fiddled outside off to Archer a few minutes before lunch and feathered through a simple catch to Jamie Smith. Jadeja also edged his first ball, but Root could not cling on to a head-high chance at first slip. Jofra Archer gets the BIG wicket of Shubman Gill 👊 India four down! 🇮🇳 2️⃣2️⃣3️⃣-4️⃣ — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 27, 2025 Archer, usually excellent to left-handers, was too straight in the afternoon session, perhaps targeting the pads of Sundar and Jadeja, both of whom were all too happy to clip off their legs. Dawson was tidy but ineffective to the left-handers, prompting Root to be brought on after just 20 overs with the new ball, with the Yorkshireman getting one to rip past Sundar's outside edge. Stokes delivered a short burst before tea but leaked 15 runs from his third over and hooked himself as a short-ball ploy backfired, thumped twice to the boundary by Sundar and once by Jadeja as the pair brought up their fifties and took India into the lead. There was a possibility of a run out after Jadeja had pushed into the covers and set off, but the incoming Archer fell over while scooping up the ball and the chance was gone.
