IND vs ENG 5th Test Day 4 weather updates: London rain forecast today
ENG vs IND 5th Test Day 4 Weather Forecast: Will rain play spoilsport today?
Clear skies on Day 3 were a welcome relief after two rain-hit days. However, Day 4 might not be as forgiving. Forecasts from BBC and AccuWeather indicate a 40–50% chance of showers, especially in the afternoon. With temperatures hovering between 18°C and 22°C and humidity on the rise, bowlers might find some early movement.
India in a commanding position at the Oval
India's stronghold on the match has steadily grown. After Siraj and Prasidh Krishna dismantled England's batting with a fine display of pace and precision on Day 2, the third day belonged to the Indian batters. Yashasvi Jaiswal led from the front, crafting a sublime century to anchor India's second innings. He was brilliantly supported by nightwatchman Akash Deep, who surprised everyone with a quick-fire knock that unsettled the English bowling attack.
Later contributions from Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar pushed India's total to a commanding level, setting England a challenging fourth-innings target of 374 runs. Siraj added to India's momentum late on Day 3 by castling Zak Crawley with a pinpoint yorker.

Star Pakistan cricketer makes SHOCKING allegations against Team India, says 'bowlers used...'
Ind secured six-runs victory over England Following a historic England tour, most of the member of the Indian cricket team returned home. At the start, there was various uncertainty regarding the young squad led by Shubman Gill. With senior players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravichandran Ashwin retiring, not many expected India to achieve a positive outcome in England, a place where they hadn't won a Test series since 2007. However, the team silenced critics by fighting back and leveling the five-match series 2-2, despite being 2-1 down after the first three Tests. The fifth Test was a nail-bitter. India needed four wickets to tie the series, while England needed just 35 runs to win the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. India secured a thrilling six-wicket victory over England, the smallest margin of victory in their Test history, thanks to an impressive bowling of Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna. Shabbir Ahmed Khan makes shocking allegations against India after The Oval Test Former Pakistan player Shabbir Ahmed Khan who played 10 Tests, 32 ODIs, accused the Indians of tampering the ball during the spectacular performance. 'I think India used Vaseline. After 80 + over Ball still shine like new Umpire should send this ball to lab for examine,' he wrote on X. I think India used Vaseline After 80 + overBall still shine like new Umpire should send this ball to lab for examine — Shabbir Ahmed Khan (@ShabbirTestCric) August 4, 2025 Sachin Tendulkar praised Siraj for his positive attitude Talking about the final day of the fifth Test, Sachin Tendulkar praised Mohammed Siraj for his positive attitude, stating that the pacer often doesn't receive the recognition he deserves. On day five at The Oval, Siraj delivered an impressive spell of 5 for 104, helping India secure a dramatic six-run victory to level the five-match series 2-2. On the fifth day, Siraj ripped through England's lower order as he picked three wickets while conceding just nine runs in 25 balls, leaving England with no answers to his accuracy. Siraj knocked over Gus Atkinson's off-stump to secure the victory for India. 'Unbelievable. Superb approach. I love his attitude. I love the spring in his legs. For a fast bowler to be constantly in your face like that, no batsman will like it. And the approach he maintained until the end on the last day; I could also hear commentators saying he bowled around 90mph (145kph) on the last day, after having bowled more than 1,000 deliveries in the series. That shows his courage and big heart,' said Tendulkar in a video on his Reddit account.

As a solution, Bumrah started targeting the area where the wall and floor met which unwittingly became part of his training for bowling accurate yorkers. (Picture Credit: IG/jaspritb1) Jasprit Bumrah told his mother at an early age of his dream to play cricket professionally. Despite apprehensions, Daljeet agreed and was soon pleasantly surprised how driven her son was towards achieving the goal.
