Joe Root loses his cool as India's last throw of the dice keeps Test series on a knife-edge
For India, as this enthralling Test series against England seemed to be slipping away, something radical was required. In this latest episode of England and India's poking and bickering and all-out fire and fury, the piping hot visitors went for the jugular, just after lunch on day two. And in doing so, they swung this contest back into an area of neutrality, once more a one-innings shootout of sorts, heading into the final three days. It should be stated that the advantage remains in England's corner. Not only did they register a 23-run lead after the first innings, but they can play the remainder of the match in the knowledge that a draw is as good as a win, as they look to claim their biggest Test series victory in head coach Brendon McCullum's three-year reign. But under the dark clouds of south London on Friday, a dark cloud surprisingly descended for England's most accomplished performer. Joe Root is many things. A great batsman, of course. A fierce competitor, yes. But he is rarely one for explosiveness, whether it be at the crease or with his words. Even as captain, amid much hardship, his equanimity rarely wavered. But here, in the eye of a Prasidh Krishna-inspired storm, he lost his cool. A tad rattled, the strangeness of what occurred reverberated through England's batting order, leaving India firmly in the match. And out of nothing on day two, India clawed back something from the brink of no return. England's quickfire stand of 129 runs for just one wicket was followed by the remaining eight wickets falling for just 118, dismissed for 247. India saw out the day's proceedings two down, stationed steadily on 75-2, with a lead of 52. On the Oval's 'Day for Thorpey', in memory of ex-England and Surrey batter Graham Thorpe who took his own life last summer, Root (with 73 wickets) started in the field as England's most experienced wicket-taker, after Chris Woakes was ruled out of the match due to a dislocated elbow suffered on the boundary late on Thursday. With plenty in the crowd wearing Thorpe's iconic headband, the hosts blitzed through India's remaining batsmen with aplomb. In just 28 minutes, Gus Atkinson and Josh Tongue stormed through an Indian tail which, not for the first time this summer, failed to muster any resistance at all. The last four wickets fell for just six runs, with Karun Nair's sturdy innings of resistance the first to fall, dismissed leg-before-wicket by the ever-changing bamboozlement that is Josh Tongue bowling a cricket ball. Erratic? Pitch perfect? How about both? With Nair gone for 57, the rest quickly followed. Washington Sundar fell into Gus Atkinson's short-pitched trap, hooking into Jamie Overton's hands for 26, before Mohammed Siraj and Krishna came and went without scoring. Not to matter, given their exploits to come, but for Atkinson, making his Test debut this summer after a hamstring injury, an unexpected five-wicket haul on his home ground was something to cherish. Chasing 226, Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett were undaunted by the overcast conditions and swinging pitch. In something of a throwback to three years ago, when the other-worldly red-ball landscape of Bazball first landed on English shores, England's opening partnership tore through a shellshocked Indian attack at a run-rate of seven an over. Yet in striking two exquisite scoop shots for six – shots that fellow left-hander Thorpe would have enjoyed – Duckett stoked the fire for the rest of the day. A scoop too many resulted in his exit for 43, clipping the ball behind, and Akash Deep had the final say, goading his opponent with a patronising arm around the shoulder as he left the field of play. Words were exchanged; shots were fired. It wouldn't be the last confrontation of the day. Crawley brought up his fifty with 12 fours to his name but after lunch, a swift change in momentum. The visitors altered their approach, became more animated and vocal in the field, and undoubtedly unsettled an England outfit who could see the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy on the horizon. Skying a short ball into the air, Crawley's dismissal for 64 (another frustrating case of the opener being unable to convert a promising start into a century) brought Root to the crease at 124-2. Customarily coolness personified, here, England's greatest-ever Test batsman was properly wound up. Root clashed primarily with Krishna, a bowler he has shared the same dressing room with at IPL outfit Rajasthan Royals. No sign of any lasting friendship here, though, as Root vociferously confronted the Indian seamer with a choice collection of words. Was it retaliation for Krishna needlessly throwing the ball at Crawley minutes earlier? Was Krishna walking across the England batsman running between the wickets? Did Root, plain and simple, nibble at a line of bait? Either way, it all worked in India's favour. Shortly after the umpires intervened, stand-in captain Ollie Pope was trapped lbw by Siraj – who also inevitably brought the heat in the sledging contest – before Root followed in the same fashion, unable to get bat on a quickfire ball nipping in, trudging back a defeated man for 29. Jacob Bethell, making his first Test appearance on English soil, only managed six before Siraj took his scalp too, with the youngster not even bothering to review a yorker which was nailed on for middle stump. In an instant, India were back in the ring, on the front-foot and purring. Jamie Smith, on his home ground, edged behind off Krishna for just eight and when another Surrey player in Jamie Overton went for a duck, lbw to Krishna, India had not only stopped England's runaway train but had successfully derailed it. Six wickets to the visitors made the afternoon their session. With India only needing nine wickets due to Woakes's injury, Harry Brook was the final line of defence. He looked on course for a half-century, including one magnificent sweep for six, before the rain sprinkled down just after Atkinson hooked disconnectedly to the fielder at mid-on. With just one wicket remaining, from such a position of strength, England's lead was next to nothing. Brook went on to claim his half-century after a 42-minute delay, before he dragged on to his own stumps off the bowling of Siraj for 53. India, with a stride in their step, entered the dressing room buoyed by their afternoon's work, with England's lead just 23 runs. As the sun then came out over Kennington to conclude proceedings, India's openers put on a stand of 46 before Tongue removed KL Rahul, who edged to Root at first-slip. Back in his element, taking a catch down low to his left, the tetchiness of hours earlier was long gone for England's greatest ever batsman. Substitute fielder Liam Dawson dropped Yashasvi Jaiswal on 40 in the closing overs, a gaping chance squandered at fine-leg, before Atkinson had the final say as he trapped Sai Sudharsan leg-before-wicket. Shortly after, the teams left the field for bad light at 7:17pm. The tone has been set, in a match still tantalisingly in the balance, ahead of crunch time on day three.

England hurt by late drops in decisive final Test
Fifth Rothesay Test, The Kia Oval (day two of five)India 224 (Nair 57, Atkinson 5-33, Tongue 3-57) & 75-2 (Jaiswal 51*)England 247 (Crawley 64, Brook 53, Duckett 43; Krishna 4-62, Siraj 4-86)India lead by 52 runsScorecard England dropped crucial catches late on the second day of the decisive final Test to leave India with the momentum at The Yashasvi Jaiswal was put down twice in his 51 not out and Sai Sudharsan let off once before falling lbw to Gus Atkinson. The tourists eventually closed a chaotic day on 75-2, leading by ball darted around throughout. India lost their last four first-innings wickets inside the first six overs of the morning to be bowled out for 224, then England lost all nine of their wickets for 155 runs in being dismissed for such helpful conditions for the bowlers, an extraordinary opening stand of 92 between Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett, racked up in less than 13 overs, was incredibly valuable for the home was sensational for his 43, reverse-sweeping Akash Deep and scooping Mohammed Siraj for a six apiece. Crawley hammered 14 fours in his dismissal, attempting another reverse at Deep, began India's resurgence and sparked more exchanges between the two teams in what has been a tetchy put his arm around the shoulders of Duckett as he departed. If that looked good-natured, later verbals between Prasidh Krishna and Joe Root were anything but. Root, usually unflappable, was Siraj was outstanding in taking 4-86, supported by Krishna's 4-62. Harry Brook's 53 dragged England into a slender lead of advantage was wiped out quickly as England bowled for a second time in the day. Whereas the hosts were ruthless in the morning, led by Atkinson's 5-33, their sloppiness in the evening could cost them a series was put down by Crawley after Jaiswal was given lives by Brook and Liam Dawson. Dawson was subbing for Chris Woakes, who will miss the remainder of the match with a shoulder injury sustained on day one. England left with huge battle to win series England were denied a series win by India's rearguard in the fourth Test at Old Trafford. They now need a huge effort on Saturday at The Oval to prevent a 2-2 could and probably should have been out of sight. The Duckett-Crawley partnership frazzled India, threatening to completely derail the tourists. The wisdom of the shot Duckett played for his dismissal can be debated, though it was only in keeping with the rest of a sparkling deserve huge credit for the way they fought back. They left themselves a seamer short in their selection, still Siraj, Deep and Krishna have collectively outbowled he usually does when Jasprit Bumrah is not in the team, Siraj stepped up to lead the attack. A tireless eight-over spell across the afternoon that had all of Ollie Pope, Root and Jacob Bethell lbw was a game-changing were poor with the ball on Thursday, yet picked up wickets. Their bowlers improved on Friday and were let down the by the the end of it all, India were left with the opportunity to bat themselves towards victory on Saturday.

India hit back against Bazballing England on another remarkable day
LONDON, Aug 1 (Reuters) - India roared back into contention on an exhilarating day two of the final test on Friday as their seamers restricted England to a 23-run lead after the hosts had threatened to run away with a match that the tourists need to win to square the series. After mopping up India's brittle tail in less than 30 minutes in the morning, openers Zac Crawley and Ben Duckett raced to 92-0 in 12 overs in a blistering return of Bazball. However, continuing the back and forth theme of the entire series, India responded as their bowlers ran in relentlessly to peg England back to 247. Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal then scored quickly in a potentially awkward last 90 minutes, ending unbeaten on 51 with India closing on 75-2, 52 runs ahead to leave the pivotal match fascinatingly poised. Another fabulously undulating day began with India resuming at 204-6 but soon skittled for 224 as pace bowler Gus Atkinson took five wickets in his first test since May. It was an all-too-familiar collapse by the tourists this summer as Karun Nair fell lbw for 57 and Washington Sundar was caught for 26. Atkinson then bowled Mohammed Siraj and had Prasidh Krishna caught behind, both for ducks, to finish with 5-33. England set about their reply in their usual, swashbuckling fashion, exemplified by Duckett's extraordinary "reverse hook" for six off Akash Deep. They reached 50 in seven overs - the fastest 50 opening partnership England have ever managed in a test - but fell just short of the 100 as Duckett was caught behind reversing for 43. They were 109-1 at lunch and England looked poised to take command but India, as they have all summer, refused to buckle as Crawley (64) and Ollie Pope (22) quickly departed. Joe Root brought his usual calm to proceedings until Siraj nipped one back at him for an lbw on 29, with Jacob Bethell going the same way soon after. Krishna finished off the session in style by having Jamie Smith brilliantly caught in the slips for eight by KL Rahul then getting Jamie Overton lbw for nought and followed up with the wicket of Atkinson to finish with 4-62. Harry Brook had a late flurry either side of a rain delay before becoming Siraj's fourth victim when bowled for 53 as England, with injured Chris Woakes absent, were all out for 247. India's openers quickly erased that and pushed on well beyond, with Jaiswal looking particularly enterprising en route to a quickfire 51 - though he was badly dropped in the deep on 40. Rahul departed tamely for seven off Josh Tongue, and Sai Sudharsan followed, lbw to Atkinson for 11, leaving Deep not out four. With good weather forecast for Saturday another Oval full house will turn up in expectation of more fireworks and what has been one of the most entertaining series for years still in the balance.
