However, Nawaz, who had conceded 20 runs in his first three overs, delivered a stunning 12th over, dismissing Andrew (35), Charles (35), and Gudakesh Motie (0) in the space of five balls, reducing the hosts to 75/3.
The collapse continued when
Shai Hope
fell to Ayub for 2 in the following over, as West Indies lost four wickets for just five runs. Ayub, who also returned 2-20 with the ball, was named Player of the Match for his all-round brilliance.
Live Events
Late fireworks from Jason Holder (30* off 12) and
Shamar Joseph
(21 off 12) narrowed the gap, but the West Indies could only manage 164/7.
The defeat adds to a tough stretch for the hosts, who recently suffered an 8-0 clean sweep across formats (Tests and T20Is) against Australia.

‘No batsman will like it, I heard commentators saying…': Sachin Tendulkar says the buck stops with Mohammed Siraj
Legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar was full of admiration for Mohammed Siraj's relentless show on the England tour, as he ended up as the highest wicket-taker in the series. Siraj stood up on the big occasions and claimed five-wicket hauls at Edgbaston and the Oval to help India register crucial victories. In Jasprit Bumrah's absence, Siraj stepped up when India needed him most, delivering a game-changing spell at the Oval. With a fifer in the second innings, he ran riot with the old ball and turned the tide in India's favour to help the visitors register a famous win. Sachin Tendulkar heaped massive praise on Mohammed Siraj.(PTI and AP Images) Tendulkar lauded Siraj for his fearless display across the series, noting how his sharp swing consistently troubled the opposition batters and how he impressively maintained his pace even on the final day of the contest. "Unbelievable. Superb approach. I love his attitude. I love the spring in his legs," Tendulkar said. 'For a fast bowler to be constantly in your face like that, no batsman will like it. And the approach he had till the end on the last day, I could hear commentators also saying he bowled around 90mph (145kph) on the last day after having bowled more than 1000 deliveries in the series. That shows his courage and big heart,' Tendulkar said on his Reddit account. Siraj's most definitive effort came on the fifth day of the final Test at the Oval, when his singular grit helped India bowl out England for 367 in a chase of 374. He was named Player of the Match for claiming nine wickets across two innings. Sachin hails Siraj for delivering knockout punches on regular basis The batting icon asserted that Siraj often gets under the radar and doesn't get the credit he deserves, despite regularly delivering the knockout punches on a regular basis. 'The way he started on the last day was remarkable and he has always been instrumental, playing a key role whenever we need him, whenever we want him to deliver that knockout punch, he's been able to do that consistently in the past, and so was the case in this series. The way he picked all those wickets and performed, he doesn't get the credit he deserves,' he added.

ICC Test Rankings: Siraj, Jaiswal gain big as ICC releases updated rankings
India's thrilling win at The Oval has sparked major movement in the ICC Test Rankings, with Mohammed Siraj and Yashasvi Jaiswal among the biggest beneficiaries. Siraj, who delivered a match-winning performance in the fifth and final Test against England, has reached a career-high 15th in the bowling rankings. Jaiswal, too, returned to the top five of the batting rankings after notching his second century of the series. The updated list reflects several shake-ups across categories as India's 2-2 series draw left a significant mark. While Siraj climbed an impressive 12 places, young pacer Prasidh Krishna and England's Gus Atkinson also made noteworthy gains, while veteran Joe Root solidified his lead at the top of the batting charts. Siraj breaks new ground Mohammed Siraj's spectacular nine-wicket haul in the final Test earned him not only the 'Player of the Match' award but also the highest ICC Test ranking of his career. Previously ranked 27th, the right-arm pacer jumped to 15th — surpassing his earlier best of 16th, achieved in January 2024. Siraj's fiery spell on the final day, where he picked up three crucial wickets, including the final one, was instrumental in sealing India's six-run win. Jaiswal returns to top five Yashasvi Jaiswal has surged back into the top tier of Test batters, moving up three spots to claim the No. 5 position. His timely second century of the series came in the pressure-cooker atmosphere at The Oval and helped India build a competitive total. The 22-year-old now stands on 792 rating points, reaffirming his reputation as a rising force in red-ball cricket. Other key movements India's pace leader Jasprit Bumrah remains the top-ranked bowler with 889 points, despite being rested for two Tests. Meanwhile, Prasidh Krishna's four-wicket efforts in both innings earned him a career-best 59th spot. On England's side, Joe Root continues to dominate the batting charts after a third consecutive century, while Harry Brook climbed to second following his explosive 111. Among bowlers, Gus Atkinson broke into the top 10 for the first time, and Josh Tongue surged to 46th with an eight-wicket performance. (With PTI inputs)
