IND vs ENG 5th Test: 'They'll have to bat out of their skins' – Ravi Shastri warns England ahead of record chase
Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope of England (Photo by) Former India wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik has suggested that spin bowling could play a crucial role for India on day four of the fifth Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at The Oval, as England chase 374 runs for victory. With England at 50/1 and needing 324 more runs to secure a 3-1 series win, India must take the remaining wickets to level the series at 2-2. The day's play will resume after Zak Crawley was bowled by Mohammed Siraj on the final ball of day three. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! "India will have to do what they did in England's first innings and bowl a lot of pace consistently - but I do think spin will play a part. Will it be a big part? It could be forced to if the fast bowlers don't strike early on but ideally the pacers should take 60-70 per cent of the wickets," Karthik said during Sky Sports' broadcast. India need EIGHT wickets, England 324 runs: Who will come out on top at The Oval? "Seamers Deep and Siraj will have a big role to play. Deep gets the ball to seam away and looks like a guy that can get wickets - if he gets his length right and hits that eight-metre mark," Karthik added. England has previously succeeded in major Test chases, including a 378-run chase against India at Edgbaston in 2022 and a 371-run pursuit in the series opener at Headingley. Poll Do you believe England can successfully chase down 374 runs? Absolutely, they can do it Unlikely, it's too challenging "The surface has a lot of grass on it so things will happen quicker so if England get even close here I think they will have done twice the job they did at Headingley. They will have to bat out of their skins," former India head coach Ravi Shastri noted. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2 BHKs starts at ₹ 72.6 Lakh | No Floor rise | Zero PLC Mahindra Happinest Tathawade Get Quote Undo If successful, this would be England's second-highest Test run chase and a record at The Oval. "I remember the run chase in Leeds at the start of the series and thought England could do it. There is just something about this team. The bigger the challenge, the more they puff their chests out and entertain," former Australia women's cricketer Mel Jones commented. "Duckett has lost his opening partner, Crawley, who he feeds off but England have four Surrey guys in Pope, Smith, Overton and Atkinson. But do England have the mental capacity to do it again after such a long series? They may just be a fraction slower in reaction time," Jones added.

And I called on his phone only. Thinking he'll pick up. Does she know the reasons behind his death? 'No, we don't know. Nobody knows. We just heard that he was in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). I can't tell because I don't know how far it's true. So no point in spreading rumors, you know. The worst thing is he's no more. And it's the biggest loss for the industry. Because he's an amazing actor, an amazing human being, you know.' The actress said that he was juggling between Mumbai and New Delhi. 'But whenever he used to be in Bombay, he used to meet me off late. Because of my busy schedule and his things, we couldn't meet. But we knew that he's here—with this "let's meet" thing. But I had no clue that he's not well. It's just not right.' 'I know, for me, he's always there in my heart. I know the people who are close to him will miss the cinema. I think people will always remember him. He's always alive for all of us—in his spirit and thing.' Deepshikha is praying for strength for Mukul Dev's family, especially his mother and daughter. 'I'll just say, give strength to his mom, his daughter, his family, you know. They are the closest. They are the people—family—who suffer the most. And may his soul rest in peace. Because for us, he'll always be alive, you know.' 'He's always there. I was seeing his chats and I was seeing his voice notes. And I'm like, I don't believe it's just—May his soul rest in peace.'
