India vs England 5th Test, London Weather Report: Will rain play spoilsport during IND vs ENG Test at The Oval?
With England leading the series 2-1, Shubman Gill's India must win to level it 2-2 and share the trophy. However, as India prepare for the 5th Test at The Oval in London, all eyes are not just on the pitch and players, but on the skies.
Looming over the highly anticipated contest is an unpredictable London weather forecast.
According to the latest London weather update, rain could play spoilsport across all five days of the IND vs ENG 5th Test Match.

The Oval weather report indicates cloudy skies with light rain expected daily.
Temperatures are set to hover between 14°C and 24°C, with high humidity (around 88%) and wind speeds up to 13 km/h.
These overcast conditions could heavily favour the swing bowlers, adding a new layer of complexity to the game.
India comes into this clash riding a wave of momentum after an epic fightback in Manchester, where special centuries from Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja, and Washington Sundar, along with KL Rahul's gritty 90, helped secure a dramatic draw.
However, injuries are a concern. Jasprit Bumrah is likely to be rested, with Arshdeep Singh or Akash Deep expected to debut.

Poll
Which team do you think has the advantage in overcast conditions?
India
England
Both have an equal chance.
For England, Ben Stokes is out due to a biceps tendon injury, and Ollie Pope will captain the side.
Adding to the drama is the tension over the pitch itself. The Oval pitch appears green, favouring seamers, though some grass may be trimmed before play. Since 2019, all four innings here have averaged under 300 runs, pointing to bowler-friendly conditions.
If the rain holds off, fans are in for a cracking match. But with the London weather forecast looking grim, the India vs England weather update might prove just as important as the toss. Fingers crossed that the rain stays away from this thrilling series finale.

IND vs ENG 5th Test: 'He's all in!' – Joe Root confirms Chris Woakes will bat despite pain on Day 5
Joe Root (X- Sahil Malhotra) in London: Joe Root walked into the press conference at The Oval with a smile, but behind it was the frustration of a job left unfinished. After playing a classy knock of 105, his third century of the series and 13th against India, Root admitted he was disappointed not to be there at stumps, guiding England home. "I should have hit that for four," he said, reflecting on the ball that led to his dismissal. "I missed my execution. Nothing to do with the first innings." England ended the fourth day at 339 for six, needing just 35 more runs for a 3-1 series win. But rain and bad light halted what had shaped up to be a thrilling finish. Root, though, remained calm and upbeat, saying, "We have what we need to get across the line tomorrow. It's been six weeks of cricket that has swung both ways. Amazing spectacle to be part of." Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The England veteran also acknowledged the pain Chris Woakes was pushing through. 'You saw him in whites… Chris Woakes is all in!' Root said, comparing his fight to Rishabh Pant 's defiance despite injury earlier in the series. 'Woakes is ready to put his body on the line.' Poll How likely is it that India can pull off a miraculous win? Very likely Somewhat likely Unlikely He had a lighter moment too when speaking about Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj . 'Siraj has this fake angriness,' he joked. 'I enjoy playing against him, he gives it everything.' With the new ball due early on the final day and India sniffing a final twist, all eyes are now on how long England's lower order can hold firm. From here, England are still favourites — but India will need a miracle. For real-time updates, scores, and highlights, follow our live coverage of the India vs England Test match here.

'Natural leader' Siraj is getting recognition: Morne Morkel
Mohammed Siraj (Getty Images) in London: Team India's bowling coach Morne Morkel praised Mohammed Siraj for his consistent performances in the five-match Test series against England. Siraj featured in all five games and has emerged as India's leading wicket-taker in the series with 20 scalps to his name. Defending a target of 374 in the final Test, Siraj bowled with intensity and discipline, putting England's batters under pressure. Though he has taken two wickets so far in the innings, his impact has been significant. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! He has bowled 26 overs so far in this innings — the highest among Indian bowlers. Akash Deep has bowled 20 overs, while Prasidh Krishna has delivered 22 overs. 'Akash didn't get it right today, but hopefully he produces a magic spell. I'm happy Siraj is getting recognition — he's a natural leader,' Morkel said during the post-day press conference. Poll Do you think India can level the series at 2-2? Yes, they will No, England will win It's too close to call England reached 339/6 at stumps on Day 4 after rain and bad light brought an early end to proceedings at The Oval. They need just 35 more runs to clinch a 3-1 series win. Jamie Smith (2*) and Jamie Overton (0*) are the unbeaten batters at the crease. India, meanwhile, require four wickets — potentially just three if Chris Woakes is unable to bat due to his shoulder injury — to level the series 2-2. Greenstone Lobo predicts result of India vs England fifth Test | What's in the stars? Woakes, who was seen with his arm in a sling on Sunday, might only bat one-handed if he's needed and will likely come in at No. 11. 'The series had moments like that — ups and downs. We managed to break the partnership. Unfortunately, the rain came in, and we'll come back tomorrow. You can't afford to throw in the towel. The key was to break that partnership and create a bit of pressure,' Morkel said. 'It's pretty wet out there. The ground staff has been incredible with the breaks and all… it's out of our control. Hopefully, the boys get the ball in the right areas,' he said. For real-time updates, scores, and highlights, follow our live coverage of the India vs England Test match here.
