Arshdeep Singh mimics fan's 'Jaiswal' chant in girly voice, Yashasvi Jaiswal can't stop laughing
NEW DELHI: India clinched a thrilling six-run win over England in a dramatic finish in the fifth and final Test match at The Oval, sealing a 2-2 draw in a fiercely-contested five-Test series that spanned six weeks of high-quality cricket.
In one of the most gripping finales to a Test match in recent memory, England fell just short while chasing 374—what would have been their second-highest successful run chase in Test history.
Mohammed Siraj was the star of the final day, claiming 5 for 104. His final wicket, Gus Atkinson (17), brought England's innings to an end at 367, sparking celebrations in the Indian camp.

Joe Root will break Tendulkar's record and score 18000 Test runs: Former spinner
Former England spinner Monty Panesar has backed Joe Root to break Sachin Tendulkar's record for most Test runs. Root has been on a prolific run in recent times as he's already become the second-highest run scorer in Tests. He went past Ricky Ponting's tally of 13,378 runs during the fourth Test against India at Old Trafford in currently has 13543 runs in Tests and is 2,378 runs from Tendulkar (15,921 runs), who sits on the top spot with most runs. Hence, he's well on course to break his record and become the highest run scorer in Tests. Recently, Monty Panesar shared his thoughts on the prospect of Root breaking Tendulkar's record and backed the England star to surpass the Indian break it, and he'll go past it. I think he'll end up scoring 18,000 test runs. Because he's only 34, right? He's 34, he's got another 6 years. In 6 years, he'll probably score another 4,000-5,000 Test runs. So, Tendulkar played until 40, so he'll probably end up playing until 40. He'll break that, and he'll go past it. I think he'll end up scoring 18,000 test runs,' Panesar told Hindustan Times. Root has been in sensational form since 2021, being the highest run scorer of the format in the last five years. The right-handed batter has accumulated 5720 runs from 61 matches (111 innings) at an average of 56.63 with 22 hundreds and 17 fifties. He's also the leading run scorer in the World Test Championship (WTC) history with 6080 runs from 69 matches (126 innings) at an average 52.86 with 21 hundreds and 22 34-year-old has improved his conversion rate in the last five years as he 17 hundreds and 59 fifties till 2020 but now has 49 centuries and 66 fifties. With the Ashes 2025-26 scheduled later this year in November, Root will have his toughest test as he's yet to score a century in Australia.- EndsMust Watch

Chris Woakes says he apologised to Rishabh Pant for the foot injury
England all-rounder Chris Woakes has revealed that he said "sorry" to Rishabh Pant for the delivery that broke his toe during the recent Test series at the end of which he was left quite touched by his Indian rival's generosity. Woakes had struck Pant's foot during the fourth Test in Manchester, ruling him out of the series-deciding fifth game. India battled past the setback to win the finale at the Oval by six runs to tie the series at 2-2. Both Woakes and Pant became symbols of heroism for their respective teams by coming out to bat despite major injuries. While Pant padded up with his broken toe in Manchester, Woakes came out during the fifth Test despite a dislocated shoulder. "I saw Rishabh (Pant) had put an image of me on Instagram with a salute emoji, so I replied thanking him: 'Appreciate the love and hope the foot is OK,' etc," Woakes recalled in an interview to 'The Guardian'. "He then sent me a voice note saying: 'I hope all is OK, good luck with the recovery and I hope we meet again out there some day'. I obviously said sorry for the broken foot." Woakes also recalled being appreciated by India captain Shubman Gill for coming out to bat in the fifth Test. Woakes did not get to face a ball but said running between the wickets was tough. "(India captain) Shubman (Gill) said something like: 'That was incredibly brave'," he said. "I told him: 'You've had an unbelievable series, well played, and credit to your team'. Both sets of players had been through the mill in the series and deserve credit for the show we put on. Both teams wanted the win, of course, but it does kind of feel fair that it was drawn.

Ex-Zimbabwe captain surpasses James Anderson - enters elite list of players with longest Test careers
Brendon Taylor (X) Brendan Taylor , the Zimbabwe cricketer who debuted in 2004 against Sri Lanka, has marked his return to Test cricket after serving a three-and-a-half-year ban by the ICC on corruption charges. His comeback in the second Test against New Zealand has positioned him with the 12th-longest career in Test cricket history, spanning 21 years and 93 days as of the first day of the match. The ICC ban on Taylor stemmed from a delayed reporting of a bookie approach. While he did eventually report the incident to the ICC, the timing of his report led to the suspension.
