England vs India LIVE SCORE UPDATES 5th Test Day 3: All eyes on Jaiswal; play resumes at 3:30 PM IST
As the sun rises over the Oval, London, the 5th Test between India and England heads into an intense Day 3 with a chance to take control of the match on the line. India, despite trailing in the first four sessions of the match, came back with a fight to take the upper hand with a 52-run second-innings lead to end the second day's play. India still have 8 wickets in hand and will try to extend their lead past 250 to put the hosts under pressure before the final innings.
Moreover, the first two days of the Test were heavily impacted by rain, but the weather report for Saturday is clear and sunny, which means batting conditions will be slightly better and the visitors will try to take full advantage of it.
JaisBall on display
In reply to England's fiery start in their own Bazball style, India presented their own JaisBall at the Oval. Yashasvi Jaiswal took the English bowlers to the cleaners in the final session of Day 2 to complete yet another Test fifty against the English team. The visitors still have Gill, Nair, Jadeja, and Sundar to come out to bat, which means the stage is set for them to end the series in a 2-2 draw—if they do not face yet another batting collapse.
How can England make a comeback?
England had the chance to put India under pressure early in the second innings, but their sloppy fielding and unpredictable bowling helped India establish control in the game. England dropped two catches of Jaiswal, who went on to score a half-century. Moreover, losing their strike bowler Chris Woakes due to injury did not help the cause. They need to bowl strict lines and take their catches if they wish to keep the match alive for themselves.
What is the situation of the match ahead of Day 3?
India, after being bundled out for 224 in the first innings, cleaned up England for 247 despite a 92-run opening stand between Duckett and Crawley. In their second innings, India lost two big wickets in the form of KL Rahul and Sai Sudharsan, but Yashasvi Jaiswal (51 not out), along with Akash Deep (4 not out), finished the day with the scoreboard reading India 75 for 2, leading the second innings by 52 runs.

FA Community Shield winners list; Which team has the most titles?
While many lament the loss of tradition in today's football landscape, the Community Shield has remained a constant presence in the English game for over 100 years. Though its prestige has diminished over time, much like other domestic competitions, the fixture still signals the unofficial start of the new season. To some, it's seen as little more than a high-profile friendly, but it continues to hold a place on the football calendar. The format of the Community Shield has evolved since its first edition in 1908. It wasn't until 1930 that the match regularly featured the league champions against the FA Cup winners. The version we now recognize was formalized in 1974 by then-FA Secretary Ted Croker. While it may not be considered a major piece of silverware, clubs still count Community Shield wins among their historical achievements.

Test leadership ticked, how about Gill as all-format captain?
Kolkata: It might be too early to discuss, but there can never be a right time to debate what India's cross-format leadership should look like. Suryakumar Yadav leads the T20 side and Shubman Gill the Test team but there remains some doubt over whether Rohit Sharma would continue being the ODI captain. Sharma is 38 and keeping in mind India's white-ball leadership discussions are more or less event-oriented, he should be pushing 40 by the time the ODI World Cup arrives in India in 2027. One captain for T20Is and another for ODIs has never been the approach of BCCI. And since Surya wasn't picked for the Champions Trophy earlier this year, his chances of bridging that gap have become slim. India's player of the series India's captain Shubman Gill in their five-match Test series against England at The Kia Oval in London, Monday. (AP) Gill as India's all-format captain however has a nice ring to it. At 25, he has the age advantage that gives India a solid ICC events outlook of at least a decade. His Test captaincy baptism in England was possibly the most rigorous in the past decade, but it can't help but be seen as one that made Gill stronger than ever. Few wrinkles exist, like the thought process behind spreading out the field on the final day of the Oval Test, or some of the non-directional bowling strategies in the earlier Tests. Keeping in mind that this was Gill's first series as captain, one can only expect improvements from here. Of course, the success Gill the batter has had is another story. When the batter inside a captain feels as good as Gill after taking down a long-standing record of Don Bradman, it's bound to leave a heightened sense of belonging at this level. Not only because the success in England came across as quantitatively better than his contemporaries, but also because it was more worked for while anchoring a batting order that was tweaked every game. Gill knows what works for him, but more importantly he knows what doesn't work. And since India have equated good captaincy with the ability to keep churning out runs as batters, Gill seems good to go on that front. What somehow doesn't get enough traction is how good a batter Gill is in other formats. He has a double hundred in ODIs and a hundred in T20Is — the gold standard for batsmanship these days. Not to forget how a disrupted white-ball career can't take away from Gill a sterling average of nearly 60 in ODIs and a strike rate of almost 140 in T20Is. He was probably the only top-order batter to miss out on a hundred in the 2023 ODI World Cup at home, but at that time it didn't matter because India had all the bases covered till No.7 in the batting order. A tournament average of 44, thus, doesn't look bad at all. Two years later, he averaged 47 in the Champions Trophy, breaking his hundred drought at ICC ODI events with a steady century against Bangladesh in the tournament opener. This, mind you, while juggling batting duties at two different positions, a stance Gill may not tinker with in future. Sure, opening in white-ball format may look easier with a new ball in operation from both ends on primarily flat pitches, but if Gill continues to open after becoming captain he risks being judged through a single prism with very finite possibilities. If he doesn't score heavily, he may be termed a liability, a hastily drawn conclusion no opening batter captain (Rohit, Sourav Ganguly come to mind here) has been able to escape till date. And if Gill scores, it will only be considered a value enhancer. It's a double-edged sword he willingly took on when Rohit and Virat Kohli announced their Test retirements in May. Think harder though, and you will find Gill had embraced this way of life a year earlier — with the Gujarat Titans for a good 50 days or so across 15 IPL matches — only because Hardik Pandya chose to move back to Mumbai Indians. This is franchise cricket by the way, where a testing annual appraisal ensures there is very little scope for a cricketer to grow into a role. Do or die is the mandate and Gill seemed fine by it when he accepted the challenge. Forty of those 50 days Titans were leading the table while Gill was scoring heavily, before they lost their way a bit towards the end and fell just short of making the final. Till that stumble, Gill ensured an unprecedented batting superiority in the form of a record seven 200-plus IPL totals for Titans. A scintillating strike rate of 155, 650 runs, six fifties and a nearly there finish — Gill had unwittingly checked most of the boxes in the India T20 captaincy wishlist. With the T20 World Cup barely six months away, it remains to be seen how long it takes to zoom in on Gill as an all-format captaincy contender.

Mohamed Salah on his record valuation for new Fantasy Premier League season: ‘Put the strikers the highest!'
It's that time of the football season. Ahead of a new Premier League campaign, fans around the world would be furiously selecting, un-selecting, re-selecting their virtual squads in a game that has become almost synonymous with the English top flight. The Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is as much a part of following the Premier League these days as it is to be a fan of a particular club. And Mohamed Salah, the game's record-breaking point-scorer, had a request for the powers that be. Salah (£14.5m) and Erling Haaland (£14.0m) are the two most expensive players in 2025/26 FPL, where hundreds of thousands of Premier League fans compete in mini-leagues by selecting players with a virtual budget of £100.0 million. But he wanted it to be lower. 'First of all I want you guys to put my price down so everybody can have me in the team. I said that… before, I'm telling you in a video. Put my price down and that's it. Now I am the highest. No! Put the strikers the highest. (Erling) Haaland should be the highest. (Alexander) Isak should be the highest. So not a winger has to be the highest.' Salah's price in the game is the highest-ever opening cost for a midfielder in FPL, the previous record was held at £14.0m by former Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo in 2008/09. Salah, while guilding Liverpool to the title with a stunning campaign, had smashed the record for the most FPL points in a season last time around. The Egyptian finished on 344 points for the season (players are given points every match for goals scored, assists, minutes played and so on). His tally was more than 100 ahead of his nearest challenger Bryan Mbeumo of Brentford who had scored 234 points. It's not the first time that Salah has asked for his price to be lower in the game. 'Why they should pick me? I give them good points, guaranteed points,' he added. He has joked about it in the past as well. 'It's too expensive for everyone to buy me,' he had noted last season. In a January video, he quipped: 'Please don't put my price up, keep (Erling) Haaland more expensive.' The Egyptian was in the middle of another extraordinary season for Liverpool while Haaland didn't quite live up to his high standards as Manchester City had their worst season under Pep Guardiola.
