MI vs GT: Match to resume at 11:20 PM, check if officials cut any overs
The rain-interrupted clash between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans is set to resume at 11:20 PM after a lengthy delay due to showers at Wankhede Stadium. According to the latest commentary updates, covers have come off and players are warming up, with Jasprit Bumrah preparing to bowl the next over.
At the time of the rain break, Gujarat Titans were 107/2 in 14 overs, needing 49 runs in 36 balls. Importantly, GT were 8 runs ahead of the DLS par score at the time of interruption, thanks to a quickfire 26 off 12 from Sherfane Rutherford, who came in as an Impact Player.
The good news for cricket fans: no overs have been cut. As per IPL 2025 playing conditions, the match has a 60-minute extension window, and only if that gets exhausted does the over-reduction begin. Tonight, that buffer has allowed the full match to be preserved.
Meanwhile, IMD has issued an orange alert for Mumbai, Palghar, and Thane till 1 a.m., warning of moderate rainfall (5–15 mm/hour) and surface wind speeds of up to 61 km/h. However, the conditions have improved for now, and the game is set to resume without further reduction in overs.

England v India: Three talking points
India will return home satisfied after levelling their five-Test series against England following a dramatic six-run win at the Oval as the home side rue a costly late collapse. The tourists came back from the dead in the deciding match, taking the last seven England wickets for just 66 runs to finish the series all-square at 2-2. India arguably won more sessions than they lost over the five Tests, though England were clinical in key moments before failing to press home their advantage in the final match. AFP Sport picks out three talking points from an enthralling series. Siraj steps up as India's main man Mohammed Siraj ultimately proved the difference-maker for India, taking three wickets for nine runs in a match-winning spell on the final morning at the Oval. The paceman was named player of the match for his figures of nine wickets for 190 runs. Over the course of the series, in which he played every game, Siraj bowled an energy-sapping 185.3 overs, finishing as the leading wicket-taker on either side, with 23 scalps. India made it clear before the series that pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah would only play three Tests and stayed true to their word, leaving the world's top-ranked bowler out of the final game. But Siraj ultimately made sure the tourists did not miss him at the Oval. "When I woke up today (Monday), I thought I could do it. I downloaded a picture from Google saying 'believe'," said Siraj. Gill shines with the bat as he learns captaincy ropes Shubman Gill has just embarked on one of the toughest jobs in world sport -- leading a team that carries with it the hopes and dreams of 1.4 billion people. He has been mesmerising with the bat in England, falling just short of overhauling Sunil Gavaskar's long-standing Indian record tally of 774 runs in a series. India's player-of-the-series has also grown into his role as skipper and oversaw a victory in the final Test when all had seemed lost. The 25-year-old, who replaced Rohit Sharma as captain in May, arrived in England with a modest Test average of 35. But he has led from the front to make 754 runs, including four centuries, finishing just 20 runs behind Gavaskar's mark, set against the West Indies in 1971. Gill combines elegant, classical batting with an ability to go through the gears when necessary. This was most eye-catchingly showcased at Edgbaston, where he scored a majestic 269 in the first innings and a turbo-charged 161 in the second. Gill's batting in England will live long in the memory and his reign as captain is off to a solid start. Stokes still England's magic man Ben Stokes sat out the fifth Test victory with a shoulder injury but has again demonstrated emphatically the value of a genuine all-rounder in the modern game. The England skipper, 34, consistently looked the most dangerous of the home side's bowlers, taking 17 wickets at 25 in 140 overs -- the most he has ever bowled in a series. He also played a crucial role with the bat, scoring 141 in England's mammoth total of 669 in the drawn fourth Test at Old Trafford. England's bowling at times lacked penetration during the series but Stokes still possesses the rare ability to change a game in the blink of an eye. The skipper has battled a succession of injuries but England will be desperate to have him on the plane to Australia for the Ashes, which start in November. Express paceman Jofra Archer made a welcome return to the Test arena against India but played just two matches and his workload is being managed carefully. Mark Wood, another bowler with genuine pace, has not played Test cricket for nearly 12 months and had knee surgery earlier this year. jw/jdg/ea

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 the series level at 2-2. England, set 374 to win, were bowled out for 367, with fast bowler Siraj taking 5-104, including a sensational burst of 3-9 on Monday's final morning. It is India's narrowest winning margin in a Test match. "To be honest, it is so amazing," Siraj told Sky Sports. "From day one to here, everyone fought so hard so we are very happy. "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." After resuming on 339-6, England lost four wickets for 28 runs on the final morning of a dramatic series. The home side were soon 354-8 after Siraj, the leading bowler on either side this series, struck twice to remove Jamie Smith and Jamie Overton. When injured England 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 Siraj set the seal on a superb series by bowling Atkinson (17) as he knocked over the batsman's off stump to spark delirious scenes among the India team and their supporters in south London. India were without Jasprit Bumrah at the Oval after deciding to stand by a decision to only play the world's top-ranked Test bowler in three games of this five-match series. Siraj, who featured throughout, ended the series with 23 wickets at 32.43. Smith and Overton had struggled to get the ball off the square on their Surrey home ground Sunday. And with play starting Monday beneath grey skies, conditions favoured India's quicks. Overton pulled the first ball of the day, from Prasidh Krishna, for four -- a shot greeted by huge cheers from England fans in an impressively large Oval crowd -- and under-edged the second for another boundary Siraj took up the attack from the Pavilion End and promptly twice beat Smith on the outside edge. And with the third ball of his over Siraj had Smith caught behind, without the batsman adding to his score, to leave England 347-7. The next delivery saw new batsman Atkinson edge the lion-hearted Siraj just short of the slip cordon. But it was his Surrey county colleague Overton who fell next, lbw for nine to a Siraj ball angling into his pads. Overton reviewed but Kumar Dharmasena's decision was upheld on umpire's call. Tailender Josh Tongue was then given out lbw to Krishna but the batsman's review saw the decision overturned. England had been cruising to victory while Harry Brook (111) and Joe Root (105) were sharing a fourth-wicket partnership of 195 on Sunday. However, Brook's exit sparked a mini-collapse, with England losing three wickets for 36 runs and Root also among those dismissed. jdg/jw/pi
