England are led by Ollie Pope after regular skipper Ben Stokes was ruled out on Wednesday due to a right shoulder injury. India have made four changes from the fourth Test.
With wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant out of the fifth Test due to a toe injury, Dhruv Jurel replaced him in the playing XI, while Karun Nair, Prasidh Krishna and Akash Deep came in place of Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah and Anshul Kamboj. India are trailing 1-2 in the Test series.

Gkp man cycles to Annapurna Base Camp, hoists Tricolour at 13,550ft

1 2 Gorakhpur : In a remarkable display of endurance and determination, 29-year-old adventure cyclist Uma Singh from Gorakhpur scripted history by cycling to Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) in Nepal, situated at an altitude of 13,550feet, where he hoisted the tricolour on Aug 1. With this feat, Uma becomes the second Indian and the fourth cyclist in the world to conquer the treacherous off-road trail to ABC on a bicycle. The journey began on July 26 from the Vikas Bhawan campus in Gorakhpur as part of a Tiranga Yatra, following which Uma commenced his cycling expedition from Pokhara on July 27. Over the next six days, he braved steep ascents, relentless rains, dense forests, rocky terrain and slippery trails to reach the summit. He completed the descent and returned safely to Pokhara by Aug 3 evening. Uma described the journey as one of the most grueling experiences of his life. He said: "The unpredictable weather, rocky climbs, leeches, insects and the constant fear of getting lost in the forest — every moment tested my limits. Sometimes the trail would disappear under heavy rain. But I kept telling myself, 'Just a little more, the summit is near.'" Reflecting on the moment he unfurled the triolour at the base camp, Uma called it "divine, surreal and blessed by the grace of Maa Annapurna. " TNN

Compassion FC have consistently won trophies in women's youth football Panaji: Five U-16 girls from Compassion FC have been selected to attend the AIFF-FIFA Talent Academy trials scheduled to take place in Hyderabad, Telangana, from August 23. The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has officially extended the invitation to the players through a letter dated August 5, underlining the importance of the opportunity as part of the Vision 2047 initiative to identify and develop future stars of Indian football. The players include Tyreana Miquela Muniz, Sienna Megan Fernandes, Siya Sandesh Naik, Lillian Nicole Rodrigues and Shanaica Gonsalves. Additionally, Valanca Fernandes (Dunes SC, Mandrem) has also been summoned for the three-day trials. The academy will be located at the Gachibowli Stadium Complex in Hyderabad and will offer year-round high-performance training, with residential facilities, education, medical care, nutrition, and mental wellness to 30 girls (U16). 'This academy is a game-changer for girls in football,' said Telangana chief minister Revanth Reddy. 'It is not only the first of its kind in India but also one of the very few globally under FIFA's Talent Development Scheme. Young talents, especially girls, from Telangana and beyond will now have access to elite infrastructure, education, and a clear pathway to the national and international stage.'
